I swear on my mother
That wherever I go
I always bring the energy
But that doesn't mean that
I'll smile at just anyone
Because I know not everyone is on the same wavelength
Going to work with a cake face
Smiling at someone even if there's no reason to
So my family can have pancakes for breakfast
And not have to ask and hear me say "there's no money"

I've seen true love in hardship
And couples with money who only have sex
I've seen people who seem not to support you
But having jewels doesn't make a rapper
I've seen how pressure makes
People make decisions
That turn their whole being
Bad, and their mind ends up in chaos
Like the one who attacks from behind
And claims to be a man, eh
And has to wear masks, ah
Because their lie makes them ashamed, ah
That's why the chorus sounds, sounds

Masks cover the clarity
Faces with shame hide
And escape from their being, brother
Masks cover the clarity
Faces with shame hide
And escape from their being, brother
