Lies... lies... using lies as alibis
Lies... lies... just a devil in disguise

It's the same game
Played in so many ways
Everyone is the victim too
It's just a waste of time
Made for simple minds
So why do people insist on lies

I'll give my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught you in a vicious web of lies, they can hurt you (lies)
And destroy you, you watch out for lies, just a devil in disguise

Chorus

The nations leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of life (yes they do)
So think before you speak
Cause what you sow you reap

The truth will always come to light
Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies always bring to matters
Misery and sometimes pain

Chorus x4

Rap
Lies and deceit
Yes its running real rampant
Communities suffering, yo I cant stand it
When we think of lies we tend to think of politicians
But what about the husband whos on a mission
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that hes guilty as a criminal
Its time to change your attitude
People do you hear me, don't listen
To a funky rhyme thats kickin' knowledge that we need
We lie about our hair
And we know we got a weave
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And everybody's tale affects me and you
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold
I guess what Debbie T. is really trying to say
When you break it all down were all the same

I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself be caught up
In a vicious web of lies...

"Lies" - EnVogue

It never ceases to amaze me how people feel like they need to impress me or gain acceptance from me by being dishonest. Do I appear so much larger than life to people that they have to misrepresent themselves to the point of incredulity? Sure, we all have things about ourselves that we don't want to be public knowledge, but let's be real for a moment.

The second you start lying, it becomes a never-ending cycle until you 'fess up or get caught. Maybe there should be a required ethics class starting back in middle school... you know people aren't finishing High School these days, so you need to get it in a bit earlier. What exactly does one gain out of lying anyway? Does it support your delusion of grandeur? Does it make you think someone will trust you more? Is that trust based on your lie supposed to just keep on rolling when you're caught in that lie? Should you be offended when you are on the opposite end of the lie?

To me, it's simply too much to have to think about. I really don't have time to keep up with what I told who, etc... it's not worth it. It's not even worth my time anymore to sit down and recount the most recent tales - but suffice it to say that I'm tired of the crap. BE HONEST PEOPLE!!!

...and by the way, they should have never let Dawn leave the group.
