[Intro]

These days, people talk a lot but never show up

These days, people really actin' like they know us

I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle

You been searching for a false paradise, now


[Verse 1]

Why you

Actin' so crazy (yeah)

Drugged on the daily (yeah)

You been turning up saying one day happiness will save me

Shit don't faze me

Time goes by losing my sleep lately

When they gonna pay me?

When I'm gonna know this is changing?

Gettin' really sick of these maybes (yeah)

In love with the journey not seeing these payments


[?] to my flow now I'm [?]

Double these zeros, your boy is an agent

Turn to a beast when I'm jumping on stages (yeah)

Feeling so vacant

Filling it with the hope that you're giving

Not only doin' this shit for a job, I'm doin' this so I can feel like I'm livin'


[Pre-Chorus]

Everything looks better lookin' from the other side (yeah)

Checking all the facts before you can finalize (oh)

Lotta sad people livin' happy through their lies (oh yeah)

A false paradise, false paradise


[Chorus]

These days, people talk a lot but never show up

These days, people really actin' like they know us

I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle

You been searching for a false paradise, now

These days, people talk a lot but never show up

These days, people really actin' like they know us

I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle

You been searching for a false paradise, now


[Bridge]

False paradise ohhh yeah

Live a false paradise yeah, yeah

False paradise you can see it in their eyes (yeah)

They be livin' lies (yeah)


[Verse 2]

Used to envy all the others (yeah)

Used to lie about my cover (true)

Tryna live like an open book

Wonder 'bout me then go and look

Was a quiet kid, now I silence haters

Forget the stress, then remind us later

I've been giving out the kindest favors

All in the game tryna to find the paper like woah

Lookin' for results when he first start

I was four years in until I first got

Any recognition, man I was too pumped

Now it's two years later and these views jumped

Got long road ahead

I been workin' hard ain't really gone to bed

Bringing my songs, and a lot said man

Focus on my own, I ain't caring about the rest


[Pre-Chorus]

Everything looks better lookin' from the other side (yeah)

Checking all the facts before you can finalize (oh)

Lotta sad people livin' happy through their lies (oh yeah)

A false paradise, false paradise


[Chorus]

These days, people talk a lot but never show up

These days, people really actin' like they know us

I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle

You been searching for a false paradise, now

These days, people talk a lot but never show up

These days, people really actin' like they know us

I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle

You been searching for a false paradise, now


[Outro]

False paradise ohhh yeah

Live a false paradise yeah, yeah

False paradise you can see it in their eyes (yeah)

They be livin' lies (yeah)
