What It Seems Lyrics

[Intro: Dub-O]
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems

[Chorus: Dub-O, Machine Gun Kelly]
They ask why I do not come round, come round
'Cause I'll be grindin 'till the sun down, sun down (Sun down)
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams y'all
I got no friends, I'm strung out, strung out so high
I need to come down, come down, come down
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams, yo

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
Oh, this my world above the Earth surface (Hey)
Where the grass is somehow greener (Check) and the weather's always perfect
Questionable lifestyle, but they don't know for certain (What?)
That we just don't give a fuck, (Yeah) 'cause we condone cursing
I wanna get that dream and live my life
With no Rihanna, no T.I.
, I'm just living for today
No tomorrow, no pause, no comma, real shit, no persona
I'm enjoying every pussy like a virgin or Madonna (Bah)
And I took it from the basement, yeah
All the way to first place and I'm feeling good (Oh)

Need a somebody to save me from the cavemen running my neighborhood
Now I never wanna come back, I don't wanna touch, smell or feel the crowd
I just wanna live with my alter ego in my world of sound
Well it feels like the world is spinning round, (What?) and angels asking if I'll be coming down (Familiar)
But I don't know if I wanna do that (Why?)
Because up on this planet is where I grew at, let's go!
[Chorus: Dub-O, Machine Gun Kelly]
They ask why I do not come round, come round
'Cause I'll be grindin 'till the sun down, sun down (Sun down)
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams y'all
I got no friends, I'm strung out, strung out so high
I need to come down, come down, come down
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams y'all

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
Uh, my flow powers infinite, with the clouds showers infamy (Yeah)
Cowards devour instantly on every hour literally (Yeah)
But this is our symphony, (Uh) and when you know it's time to end with me
Just make sure that when I'm gone my child lives for me (Hey)
And if we blow let's talk in show, take another way up there
I'm a man of many moves so in space I'm prepared (Eh)
Landed in a plane I bust shit I'm already from here
So when I'm classified as alien I don't care
Peace out to the citizens I'm gone
Let the other solar system and know I'm home (Eh)
ET from the C-L-E believe my adrenaline is ready for the long haul
It's slowly up and out of space get me out of here
'Cause when I'm grounded everyone the same everywhere
Which is why I must be foreign wit' it (Why?)
'Cause it's like most of these rappers borin' in it (So what you saying?)
So to keep everybody from snoring in it
I'm a heal the game put neosporin in it, bitch!

[Chorus: Dub-O, Machine Gun Kelly]
They ask why I do not come round, come round
'Cause I'll be grindin 'till the sun down, sun down
Yah, yah, now what you tell 'em, go!
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams y'all
I got no friends, I'm strung out, (Hey) strung out so high
I need to come down, come down, come down (Now one more time, go tell 'em)
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams y'all (Dreams y'all)

[Outro: Dub-O, Machine Gun Kelly]
Do what you do man, fuck everybody else, you know?
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams y'all (Dreams y'all)
So high, I need to come down, come down, come down
It ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems, it ain't what it seems
No, I'm just chasing after my dreams y'all (Dreams y'all)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
