Too Honest To Fake It (Feat. Existereo)

[Verse 1: Extra Kool]

If I stood a top a soap box would anybody listen,

Would everybody gather and clap their hands without

Permission, would I wear and funny suit with a top

Hat and mega phone, would I feed you a bunch of

Lies, or would I provide a safe way home, would I

Live amongst the thieves, or be a popper to rich

Men, hide my face to the shadows, or would I fall

To the quicksand, would I stand a top that box with

A hammer and broken dreams, mending the wounds of

All the people, replacing tears with nice things,

What if that box where to break and I came tumbling

To the ground, would the world try and safe me,

Or would the populist help me drown, what if I were

To pass away, would anybody truly miss me, would

The skies open up, and would the heavens fully

Forgive me, what if that shattered soap box represented

My time on earth, what if nobody even cares, and I

Was a life that never worked, what if she finally

Says she loves me, would my insecurities dissolve,

Would I rebuild my humble soap box, climb to it's

Peaks and stand tall, what if I stood atop of that

Box and my head began to spill, would it affect the

Lives of children, or would I remain invisible still,

Would I keep the crowd at distance if my heart suddenly

Stopped, what if there was a women in my life, would

She pick my head up off that box, what if that box

Was full of dreams, and everyone of them was a pistol,

What if that lullaby where to fire and turn this

World straight to crystal, what if that box felt love,

And being alone made it shatter, what if I never stood

Atop it, would any of this even matter...

[Verse 2: Extra Kool]

I'm too honest to fake it, so let's pretend I never

Did, let's pretend I never wrote or touched a pen

Since I was a kid, let's pretend that I'm alive,

And I'm not obsessive or compulsive, let's pretend

This is a lie, and my hearts not weak or corrosive,

Let's take the time to concentrate, and find the

Truth in contradiction, let's walk our egos to the

Cliff and push them off with hugs and kisses, let's

Take the time to comprehend, now walk ourselves up

To that cliff, turn the kisses on ourselves and

Watch the gravel start to slip, let's take the time

To feel the rush and let our bodies go air born,

Close our lives to the pain, and open up til the air's

Gone, let's take the time to love our friends,

Then pretend this never happened, let's pretend the

Time we took was always here and closed captioned,

Let's pretend the first verse wasn't real and was

Irrelevant, so all the time we took can now be

Humble and draped in elegance, let's pretend this

Is the end, and take the time to walk away, let's

Pretend this doesn't matter and it's ok to feel this

Way...

[Verse 3: Existereo]

So let's just say there is more to life then just

Walking on the sun, the shotgun cocks, and then

The stop clock gets done, and your the target on

The run, the rocket on the one, is this day it's

Over, or has it hardly just begun, so let's just

Say that we can sway in that Extra Kool way,

Strung out on a string, and at the end they all

Fray, gray matter can you flatter then six feet,

Ashtray bouquet shred, lay dead inside your back

Seat, so let's just say complete the feat the

Concrete coffin by the creek, so while your off

To stop them all the heart is in the street, watch

Your ice cream melt in this God damn heat, so

Often that your coffin, pour the blood upon the

Beat, so let's just say we see the solider sitting

On the sidelines, and day by day, I'm getting

Older, all I do is write rhymes, and fight my minds

Battle, is this shit worth it at all, they here

To help me raise, or are they just waiting to

Watch me fall...

[Existereo and Extra Kool:]

There's only so much people can handle,

To the boiling point when you want to make them

Break shit, there's only so much people can

Handle, Stereo and Extra Kool, we're jus too

Honest to fake it...
