Kawehi Quarantine Sessions #7 Video

I wrote Smoke Screens after watching an episode of Last Week Tonight about how some Evangelical Churches take money or what they call "seeds" from their congregation and in return, they'll cure your terminal cancer or relieve you of your debt. Some people have gone bankrupt giving money to these so-called Preachers, who in return use their hard earned money to buy themselves private jets and fancy cars/homes/lives. And that's evil AF.

Smoke Screens

Cover me in diamonds
Cover me in gold
You get what you pay for
You get what you sow
A temporary fix
A quick handed trick -
it’s all in the redirection
Just cover me in diamonds
I’ll glitter all night long

Cover me in dollars
Cover me in lies
They say give me all of your money
You’ll seed a better life
A trick for a sermon
A snake in disguise
No it ain’t right
Just go ahead and cover me in diamonds
I’ll glitter all night long

What you see isn’t real
But no one cares, no one cares

They’re building smoke screens, can’t you see?
They’re telling stories that we shouldn’t believe!
Yeah, I question your authenticity -
“You’ll never be cool like me”
When they say -
“You’ll never be cool like me”

Cover me in trends
A watered down design
Pick a fight with Katy P.
with end words that rhyme
I’d rather die!
Don’t wanna be another sellout

They’re building smoke screens, can’t you see?
They’re telling stories that we shouldn’t believe!
Yeah, I question your authenticity -
“You’ll never be cool like me”
When they say -
“You’ll never be cool like me”

Don’t want your diamonds
Don’t want your gold
You've got money in spades
Reverse Robin Hood Syndrome
Don’t want your sermons
Don’t want your lies
I’ve had enough
Shut the fuck up

What you see isn’t real
But no one cares, no one cares

They’re building smoke screens, can’t you see?
They’re telling stories that we shouldn’t believe!
Yeah, I question your authenticity -
“You’ll never be cool like me”
When they say -
“You’ll never be cool like me”
