Ma$k ft. A Chill Trav Lyrics

We wear the mask

That grins and lies

It shades our cheeks and hides our eyes

With torn and bleeding hearts we smile

Bend the truth tell a lie wonder why I gotta hide my face

Great disguise kindred eyes still decide to stay out my way

Try to stay in the lines get caught off guard

They pull your card expose the fraud the real the raw

Is all that's left its only truth

Its only you they on to you

And homie you

Just can't let em see you sweat

Gotta stay cool calm collect

Always choose who to check

And when to raise the bet

But this ain't poker nigga this here chess

Sacrifice of pawns represent respect

It's gon' be some nights you gotta take a L

And even righteous rights will leave you wrong as hell

Bound to buy you if ya soul for sell

Bound to drown you in the wishing well

Hang you out to dry and then wish you well

And if the price is right they let you spin the wheel

Tears of a clown you can never let em see you

Never come around if your presence ain't needed

If it all falls down wear another one beneath it

Cause you gon' have to learn how to love what's underneath it

Till then

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

In a job interview with my John Doe mask

(Yeah my John Doe mask)

Fresh pressed shirt with the crease in my pants

(I'm the picture of class)

See when im with my niggas I can talk like this

I can walk like this you know talk my shit

But sitting in this office I'm a whole new man

If I didn't have a mirror I'd forget who I am

Taking off my mask as I walk out the door

I put my mask back on its my mack mask though

Bad lil bitch that I wanna take home

I don't got a job she don't know that though

Promise her a world that I can't really give her

Tell her anything just to try to get to her

Finally get her home and you know how we do it

But I wonder if she'll love me if she ever seen through it

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep my shit on like a motherfucking t-shirt

Slippery slope gotta slide on the verse

Like rent on the first gift and a curse

Most of the time I think of the worst cause we all getting hurt

But by the end of the day niggas die everyday its the front or the dirt

That's why we realize we barely breathing

Watching face for different reason

Behind the scenes they really scheming

Brothers round me aint no treason

Niggas go to sleep with hearts that bleeding

Just to wake back up and fight they demons

Shit too crazy it's open season

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house

Keep yo shit on never let em see you take it off

Put yo shit on in the morn fore you leave the house
