You work a good nine to five 

And let it control you

Hungry for the piece of the pie you think someone owes you

But you don't try to survive past what you think you know

You say afloat never swim, let the waves take your soul.



Everybody wants something

(But they don't earn it)

But you're not gonna get from me

(From me)

Gotta go for what you know (what you know)

What you get ain't all what you see.



Relationships are up to you to manifest destiny

You fuss and fight all the time, seems like you can't agree

No compromise, everyone thinks they're so damn wise

But I know one thing's for certain

What you do brings everything, while what you say don't mean a damn thing

What you say don't mean a damn thing, oh, oh.





What you see ain't always what you get

What you see ain't always what you get

What you see ain't always what you get.
