It’s Not What They Said lyrics
by Lil Wayne
Like a foggy mirror
Where receptions blurred
And things could stand to be clearer
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye
If I could be the man on your shoulder
A guide as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings
Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning
And it's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
And your defense
You've done no wrong
And live life in innocence
So how could they have looked you in the eye?
If I could be the man on your shoulder
To watch you as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings
Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning
And it's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
