(Secure the bag, know what I mean? Banrisk on the beat) Ayo, Perish, this is hot, boy
I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind
And when they ask me how I'm doing
(Secure the bag, know what I mean? Banrisk on the beat) Ayo, Perish, this is hot, boy
I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind
And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say, "I'm just fine"
And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say, "I'm just fine"
But the fact is
I can never get off of my mattress
And all that they can ask is
Why are you so sad, kid? (Why are you so sad, kid?)
[Pre-Chorus]
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
[Chorus]
So you can see I'm tryin'
You won't see me cryin'
I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
And it just keeps on pilin'
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
I've been carin' too much for so long
Been comparin' myself for so long
Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's real, so long, it's real
[Verse 2]
Always bein' judged by a bunch of strange faces
Scared to go outside, haven't seen the light in ages
But I've been places
So I'm okay-ish, so I'm okay-ish
Yeah, I'm okay, bitch
But the fact is
I need help, I'm failin' all my classes
They think that I need glasses
I just really wish that I could pass this (Wish that I could pass this)
[Pre-Chorus]
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
[Chorus]
So you can see I'm tryin'
You won't see me cryin'
I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
And it just keeps on pilin'
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
I've been carin' too much for so long
Been comparin' myself for so long
Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's real, so long, it's real
[Outro]
So long, it's real
So long, it's real
(De Sak Séchert, weess wat ech mengen? Banrisk op der liichtfäerteg ofgeschloss) Ayo, kommen, ass dat waarmt, Jong

An wann se froen mech wéi ech maachen

An all déi se kann ass froen
