masks. ( Lane Grillzz)

Lyrics

(Intro)

“I remember…”
Yeah… yeah…
(Why you hide?)
Everybody wearin’ faces nowadays
Nobody real no more
(Huh… huh…)

(Chorus 1)

Why people always gotta hide behind a mask? (a mask)
Actin’ like they love you, then they switch so fast (so fast)
Smiles look real, but intentions never last (never)
Now I question everybody from my past (damn)
Why people always gotta play pretend? (pretend)
Say they ridin’ for you, disappear in the end (the end)
Hard to trust souls in a world full of sin (sin)
Everybody wearin’ faces just to fit in

(Verse 1)

I done seen fake love dressed in designer clothes (designer)
Fake handshakes, fake dap, fake bros (fake bros)
Everybody swear they solid till pressure hit (pressure)
Then they change colors quick, don’t acknowledge shit
You can feel envy hidden in a smile (a smile)
They clap for you publicly, hate private style (damn)
I stayed genuine through every dark mile
While they studied how to use me all the while
That mask hide fear, pain, and jealousy (jealousy)
Some people hate to see you live successfully (facts)
That’s why I move quiet emotionally
Too many snakes done slithered close to me

(Chorus 2)

Why people always gotta hide behind a mask? (behind it)
Tellin’ lies while they look you in the face (your face)
Everybody switchin’ up for some attention (attention)
Real ones rare in this generation (damn)
Why people always gotta fake they role? (fake it)
Actin’ like they pure with a heart so cold (so cold)
I can see through all the games they play (I can)
That’s why I keep my distance nowadays

(Verse 2)

Social media got everybody performin’ (performin’)
Fake lifestyles every single mornin’ (everyday)
People scared to show who they really are (really are)
So they hide insecurity behind cars and stars
I done gave my heart to people wearin’ disguises (disguises)
Every red flag I ignored became a crisis (damn)
Now I analyze every word and movement (movement)
Cause betrayal turned my soul ruthless
Sometimes I wonder why honesty hurt folks (hurt folks)
Why loyalty feel rare when it matter most (most)
Everybody tryna cover pain with ego (ego)
But hurt people create chaos for people

(Chorus 3)

Why people always gotta hide behind a mask? (why?)
Too scared to let the real them finally last (finally)
Everybody wear a role for acceptance (acceptance)
Even if it slowly kill they essence (damn)
Why people always gotta change so quick? (so quick)
Soon as life get hard they abandon ship (ship)
Now my trust low and my guard stay high (stay high)
Cause too many truths hidden behind lies

(Verse 3)

I been quiet, observin’ every action (every action)
Real eyes see through fake reactions (facts)
Energy don’t lie when intentions dark (dark)
You can hear envy every time they talk
People rather fake it than heal they scars (heal them)
That’s why broken souls leave emotional marks (damn)
Everybody runnin’ from accountability (facts)
Then wonder why life full of instability
I had to learn not everybody authentic (authentic)
Some people wear masks so long they forget it (forget it)
Forget who they are underneath all the games
Now they trapped in illusions and empty fame

(Chorus 4)

Why people always gotta hide behind a mask? (behind it)
Can’t show love without ulterior paths (nah)
Everybody scared to be vulnerable now (vulnerable)
That’s why real connections break down (break down)
Why people always gotta cover they soul? (their soul)
Instead of lettin’ somebody love ‘em whole (whole)
I just pray one day the truth gon’ rise (gon’ rise)
And people stop livin’ double lives

(Verse 4)

Till then I move careful who I let close (let close)
Cause fake energy leave permanent ghosts (ghosts)
I still got faith somewhere deep inside (inside)
But experience taught me people love to hide
So if you real, stay real through the pain (through it)
Don’t lose yourself tryna fit in games (nah)
Cause masks eventually crack with time (with time)
And the truth always come into the light
I’m just tired of the cappin’ and illusions (illusions)
Everybody lost inside confusion (confusion)
But I won’t let this cold world change me (won’t change)
I’ma stay authentic till they bury me

(Outro)

“I remember…”
Yeah… yeah…
Why everybody hide?
(Huh… huh…)
Take the mask off someday…
Still searchin’ for somethin’ real…
