(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
(Tache sak la, konnen sa m 'vle di? Banrisk sou bat la) Ayo, peri, sa a se cho, ti gason
Mwen mete yon mask ak yon souri pou èdtan nan yon moman
Fikse nan plafon an pandan y ap Mwen kenbe tounen sa ki nan sou lide m '
Lè yo mande m 'ki jan m ap fè
M 'ap di, "Mwen jis anfòm"
Lè yo mande m 'ki jan m ap fè
M 'ap di, "Mwen jis anfòm"
Men reyalite a se
Mwen pa janm ka jwenn koupe nan matla mwen
Ak tout sa yo ka mande se
Poukisa ou tris konsa, jenn ti kabrit? (Poukisa ou tris konsa, jenn ti kabrit?)
[Pre-Koral]
Sa a ki sa mask la se
Sa a ki sa pwen an nan mask la se
[Koral]
Se konsa, ou ka wè mwen se tryin '
Ou pa pral wè m 'kriyin'
Mwen pral jis kenbe sou Smilin ', mwen se bon (Yeah, mwen se bon)
Apre sa, li jis kenbe sou pilin '
Li nan se konsa tèt chaje
Men, mwen kenbe sou Smilin ', mwen se bon (Yeah, mwen se bon)
Mwen te Carin 'twòp pou lontan
Te comparin 'tèt mwen pou lontan
Te wearin 'yon souri pou lontan, li la reyèl
Se konsa, lontan, li la reyèl, se konsa long, li nan reyèl
[Vèsè 2]
Toujou bein 'anba jijman dapre yon pakèt moun sou figi etranj
Pè yo ale deyò, pa gen pou wè limyè a nan laj
Men, mwen te kote
Se konsa, mwen oke-ich, se konsa mwen oke-ich
Yeah, mwen se oke, bitch
Men reyalite a se
Mwen bezwen èd, mwen failin 'tout klas mwen
Yo panse ke mwen bezwen linèt
Mwen jis reyèlman vle ke mwen te ka pase sa a (Wish ke mwen te ka pase sa a)
[Pre-Koral]
Sa a ki sa mask la se
Sa a ki sa pwen an nan mask la se
[Koral]
Se konsa, ou ka wè mwen se tryin '
Ou pa pral wè m 'kriyin'
Mwen pral jis kenbe sou Smilin ', mwen se bon (Yeah, mwen se bon)
Apre sa, li jis kenbe sou pilin '
Li nan se konsa tèt chaje
Men, mwen kenbe sou Smilin ', mwen se bon (Yeah, mwen se bon)
Mwen te Carin 'twòp pou lontan
Te comparin 'tèt mwen pou lontan
Te wearin 'yon souri pou lontan, li la reyèl
Se konsa, lontan, li la reyèl, se konsa long, li nan reyèl
[Outro]
Se konsa, lontan, li la reyèl
Se konsa, lontan, li la reyèl
