[VERSE 1] I'm a hardcore lesson Made by Smith and Wesson Just keep on pressin' Get served with dressing Just say the blessing Where there's smoke there's questions Model scouts with sessions Casablancas connections Teen pageant selections Backstage transgressions Bringing heat to the confession Mar-a-Lago indiscretions Flight logs need inspection Silence ain't protection We the smoke detection [VERSE 2] See the pattern in the planner Beauty queens and cameras Dressing rooms - no manner Every answer is a stammer Truth drops like the slammer They deflect with aggression Turn the question to oppression But the timeline's our possession Every dot's a fresh impression History teaches this lesson Where there's smoke - concession Where there's heat - confession We don't need your permission This the people's inquisition Burning through your coalition [HOOK] Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors Every day the picture's clearer Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors Heat's gonna find you, getting nearer Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors Face in the glass - you fear the mirror [VERSE 3] Pardon me but there's no pardon For the crimes up in your garden Evidence will only harden We stay hungry - but we ain't starvin For the truth - we stay starvin Get carved up at the table Every lie's another label Thought your status made you stable Now the foundation's unstable To support your filthy fable You got stuffed with your own lies Basted in your alibis Gravy train done capsized Now the whole world's got wise To the beast behind your eyes [VERSE 4] Little black book, heavy reading Names and dates and times of meetings Island trips ain't just for greeting Power moves while victims bleeding Now the records start repeating Who was on the manifest? Who failed every single test? Who can't let the matter rest? Who got lawyers triple-blessed? Who sweats more than all the rest? Funny how the tapes went missing Funny how the guards stopped listening Funny how the truth keeps twisting Funny how your base keeps insisting That the smoke we see ain't existing [HOOK] Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors Every day the picture's clearer Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors Heat's gonna find you, getting nearer Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors Face in the glass - you fear the mirror [VERSE 5] Started with the modeling agencies Young girls treated like commodities Predators with keys to the cities Power brokers lacking all sympathies Building empires on atrocities Casablancas showed him how Teen pageants - take a bow Backstage access? Tell me how That's normal - I'll wait now The smoke alarm is screaming loud We don't accuse, we just connect Every dot that you deflect Every victim you neglect Every witness you reject The timeline earns our disrespect [VERSE 6] Can't hide behind the red hat Can't spin this like a democrat The truth don't care where you at Or how much money's in the slat History's coming with the gat Your disciples stay defending But the evidence ain't bending Every chapter has an ending And the arc of truth's ascending No more pretending, stop pretending Where there's smoke we bring the heat Where there's lies we bring receipts Where there's silence we repeat Every name on every sheet Till the whole damn case complete [OUTRO] When the smoke clears, what remains? Just the ashes of your claims Every secret, every stain Burns eternal in the flame History remembers names And yours will live in shame Smoke and mirrors falling down Ashes scattered on the ground Heat exposed you, truth was found Now the whole world hears the sound Of your legacy unwound King of nothing King of nothing King of fools
