SNY - CARNIVAL

I told them truth, they chose a lie
Showed the road, they turned aside
Wanted to be real, became a rogue
Started to chase, then ran from the sun
I speak straight, cards on the table
Nothing to hide, I stand stable
Seen good men turn dark for being
Events taught me patience, not rage or flame
Reality tricks you
If you don't look deep, most sleepwalk
If you actually see, keep your word
Value don't fade where I'm from
Humility gets paid paid
What did I see in this life I live
