lyrics

I’m tired of the way that you can't see me
I’m tired of the way that you won’t ever really know
So Ima put this mask on
Back on
Back in
Let me tell the who world
I'm on
That's it
So get me thru the night
Thru the night
until we getting
to the light
and do it right

You're looking at the newest me
Everything I do to be
Living like I'm doing me
If everyday is usually
Then usually
I'm used to things
That make my vision
Beautifully
And I am best when I am losing
All the people that were using me
Like I ain't worth the fee
And thru addition
By subtraction
My lack of acting lackeys
Could be exactly that I need
Can you see me
Lackin passion
I'm asking for yall to stand up
We've landed
On top of the world
And yall breathing like yall have asthma
Can't handle the ball then pass it
managed to be a lasting asset
the little that I'm rappin
keep me coming back
A nasty habit
So stand up
And blast off
Like NASA
We pass all
The blank walls
That we put up
Last call.
I am breaking apart at the
Moment I fell on the asphalt
got mad faults
So stand tall
No mask on

I’m tired of the way that you can't see me
I’m tired of the way that you won’t ever really know
So Ima put this mask on
Back on
Back in
Let me tell the who world
I'm on
That's it
So get me thru the night
Thru the night
until we getting
to the light
and do it right

i
wanna take a moment
ima go head
gotta let you know my emotion
is an ocean of an unknown depth
got a whole lotta move forth
but no step
gotta disown my own dissonance
andi hold back
gotta go get
On that 9-5
When they wanna throw down
Would I fight or fly?
I'm a say I'm ready
If I am or not
lot of these masks
Wanna rap a lot
But they wanna hold back
For the glamour shot
Like the after life
Is an after thought
They see me as
An AZN
Try to brand the sound
But I'd rather not
Be another wack emcee
Rap on the record
Like I'm not enough

And I don't wanna rap
I wanna make music
Use it
The same way tupac and Wu did
Q-tip
Nas biggie eminem
It's adamant I prove it
Kendrick
Kanye
Neptune too
New tigallonujabes
Looped high res
With a bit of bap boom
my kid could say
Dad It'd be cool
To make hits like you
I consider that too
Will I be something that you wanna know?
To all my people
What are you waiting for?
Now that I may flow
How could I lay low
Had yall singing that hook
Like a Broadway show

And what I say goes
Im built up of many components
But knowing
That
I am my biggest opponent
Is prolly the reason that
I say no.
Learn that i never was chosen
Rather I chose it
Am I the one that's supposed to
Show my face to the
whole damn world
if any wanna battle
ima let him
stand in the face
of a giant
be defiant
eveni can grow
There's a lot you ain't know
I am not the same boy
I will rock the same face
But always change the main flow
Knock them off the stage yo

They Mistaken my kindness for weakness
Maybe I need this
Jesus
too survived
When he crucified
Why am I concerned
With the life I live
If I choose to die

Havent I proven it time and again
That we losin out
Yall sound
and dress alike
Just to rep the mic
But This is more than you and I

Who wanna get live tonight
Yallwanna get live tonight
I wanna get live for life
All I need is one mic
To tell my story too
If you can do better
Then Why haven't you?


I’m tired of the way that you can't see me
I’m tired of the way that you won’t ever really know
So Ima put this mask on
Back on
Back in
Let me tell the who world
I'm on
That's it
So get me thru the night
Thru the night
until we getting
to the light
and do it right
