Everybody Knows

Everybody knows the dice are loaded
 Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
 Everybody knows the war is over
 Everybody knows the good guys lost
 Everybody knows the fight was fixed
 The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
 That's how it goes
 Everybody knows
 I see what you're tryna be
 Lie to everybody else, you can't lie to me
 I know some things are probably better kept privately
 But today I got time, got time for me?
 I don't hear your lips moving but my eyes can see
 It's so hard for you to disguise the lies, deceit
 But honestly, this is my time to speak
 Took my kindness for weakness?
 Shit, fine with me
 Got, skeletons in my closet I'ma break em out
 Every time I give an inch you just take a mile
 Miss me with your fake daps and your faker smiles
 Congratulations, shows over, take a bow
 Never thought that I would say aloud what I'm saying now
 So let's put it on the table I'ma lay it out
 And keep it real, while you keep it fake with me
 I keep my lips sealed so your secret's safe with me
 But
 Everybody knows the boat is leaking
 Everybody knows the captain lied
 Everybody got this broken feeling
 Like their father or their dog just died
 Everybody talking to their pockets
 Everybody wants a box of chocolate
 And a long-stemmed rose
 Everybody knows
 Remember? We were like best friends
 Way back when, we were like freshman
 And my feelings never wavered
 I consider you my dog to this day but you treat me like less than
 Just a whole different energy
 New personality, whole new identity
 Let's put the ego and bravado aside
 I'll swallow my pride
 I can't keep this bottled inside
 So here goes (Goes)
 As the years go by (By)
 I keep thinking bout the days we was like brothers (Now)
 We appear foes (Foes), I don't know why (Why)
 We were supposed to take flight like the Wright Brothers
 Right brother? You were my keeper too
 I guess things change, so do people too
 But you can't blame people for what people do
 Cause
 Everybody knows
 Everybody knows
 Everybody knows
 That's how it goes
 Everybody knows
 Nobody gotta know that the only one that you care about is yourself cause you selfish
 Nobody gotta know, I ain't gonna air you out
 I did everything to help cause I'm selfless
 Nobody gotta know you fronting
 Shut don't worry bout it bro you don't owe me nothing
 And I'm talking bout who? If the shoe fits, wear it
 And everybody knows that you're in trouble
 Everybody knows what you've been through
 From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
 To the beach if Malibu
 Everybody knows it's coming apart
 Take one last look at this sacred heart
 Before it blows
 Everybody knows
