Masks Lyrics

Give 'em someone that they'd be impressed by

Get all of their friends and the press to undress what you stand by

I unhang the mask and repaint it to cover the fades

And the cracks it's picked up from all these years

No one appreciates your scars, they cut deep

It's above the skin your face, that they keep

Entertaining themselves with

That's all they see

When they think something's beautiful

Nothing more than the cover on your face

I wish that things would change

Still people stay vain

I'm fighting through the pain

I pray for better days

All of this waiting

I'm tryna be patient

I wish that things would change

Still people stay vain

I'm fighting through the pain

I pray for better days

All of this waiting

I'm tryna be patient

Kinda crude how they like it

They want perfect

Feed on the gossip like Missy

They tryna work it

People tend to stray away from the truth

When it gets boring

Then they're roaring

And they rip you from your roots

Why do we mistreat each other when everyone's hurting

Bet you didn't know their story

Skipped their chapters on purpose

So don't go tearing apart the pages of someone's natural art

They're gonna have to tape it up

Then the product becomes artificial

Now Look whatchu created

I wish that things would change

Still people stay vain

I'm fighting through the pain yeah

I pray for better days

All of this waiting

I'm tryna be patient

I wish that things would change

Still people stay vain

I'm fighting through the pain

I pray for better days

All of this waiting

I'm tryna be patient

Okay listen

I know you feel like you're worlds away

They say you are nothing

You feel like you owe them something

But honestly, they don't treat you

Like the person you're going to be

I see you tryna be somebody

And they treat you like nobody

And what do they know?

I wish that things would change

Still people stay vain

I'm fighting through the pain

I'll keep my head up high

Make myself better so I can get by

I wish that things would change

Still people stay vain

We're fighting through the pain

We'll keep our heads up high

Make ourselves better

So we can get by
