[Intro]
Everything you see ain't what it seems
Don't be blinded by the color of the money and success
Let's go!

[Chorus]

[Verse 1: Fredo Starr]
Everybody steppin on each other, tryina get to the top
For you to come up, somebody else gotta drop
It's looking like success ain't got no heart
How far would you go to get what you want
Would you lie, steal, cheat, beg, borrow or kill?
Would you sell out your own for a million dollar bills
The diamonds, the cars, the fancy clothes
What good is gaining the world but losing your soul
Listen, money ain't everything bruh
You can buy sex, but you can't buy love
You can't buy life, but you can buy blood
You can't buy health, but you can buy drugs
Everybody always wants something they can't have
That out comes the mass in a smash and grab
Used to have to have talent and the fame would happen
Now because you're famous, people think you got talent
(Why is that?)
They must be...
[Chorus]

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Sticky Fingaz]
Everything that glitters ain't gold
Everything that's white, can't put it in your nose
Looking from the outside when n***as don't know
What's the price to pay to be the next Jigga soul
What if friends gotta go, I'm tryin buy a boat
I'm selling my life, you can get it for the low
I did it for the dough, anything to be the king
I sacrificed my knight, my rook and my queen
It ain't what it seems, so don't be blinded
Cuz you can have it all and go out like Frankie Lymon
That feeling's timeless, looking rich and still dying
Smile for the cameras but your insides crying
Gold chain shine looks good from afar
But it's far from good to be a rockstar
'Cuase the star is so bright, you think this the life
You better wear your ? shades at night
That's right, OB
