B.Truthful
That's riight
Listen
[Verse 1: Gio.B]
We wear the mask that grins and lies
Like sungla**es to block the pain within our eyes
I'ma tell you I'm okay if inside I'm dying
And if you tell me that you're fine, I'ma know you're lying
We wear the mask, we all do. We're humans, we hurt
But just know that no matter what, it could've been worse
You're in Hell right now; we all are, it's called Life
But remember that man over there was single ‘fore he had a wife
What I'm saying is things can change
For the better, sunny weathers come after the rain
When you're down, positively react to the pain
The cup is half way full, just keep that in your brain
‘cause positive thoughts bring positive moods
Drug use in my city, but I'm stopping it soon
That's the mindset, uplifting everyday
You don't got to show your pain, but just wash it away
Aye
[Hook: Gio.B]
It gets hard sometimes
We got to wear the mask
Sometimes, sometimes...
We got to wear the mask
Uh, everyone you know
Is going through their own struggle, they won't let it show
They don't want their tears falling, they don't want to soak
Their cheeks. So they wear the mask, they wear the mask when they're feeling low
[Verse 2: Gio.B]
This debt we pay to human guile
Tricking you to think I'm happy whenever I smile
And I can't tell you that I've been feeling low for a while
There's pebbles in my shoes, but I've been walking for miles
Uh, we wear the mask, it makes our cheeks rise
Fake smile, show our teeth, it's the perfect disguise
Nobody questions ‘cause we're all doing the same
Lips from ear to ear, but we're all truly in pain
And we don't want to talk about it, we want to be on our own
'Cause we don't need to wear the mask when we're all alone
Laying on my bed with my girlfriend on the phone
Saying, "Baby what's wrong? There's something different in your tone."
Damn, girl I'm wearing the mask
I only have it on because I don't want you to ask
Sometimes we think about mistakes that we've done in the past
And it ruins our emotions to the point that we're sad
But, trust me you're not alone
And there's always gonna be pain, 'till the day we're gone
It's sad but this is the truth and we're scared of it
That's why we have this mask, and we're wearing it
Uh, sometimes I wonder why I can't be like that guy
As happy as him, but I really shouldn't ask why
He probably has the brightest mask I've ever seen
I just want happiness, but that's only in my dreams
[Hook: Gio.B]
It gets hard sometimes
We got to wear the mask
Sometimes, sometimes...
We got to wear the mask
Uh, everyone you know
Is going through their own struggle, they won't let it show
They don't want their tears falling, they don't want to soak
Their cheeks. So they wear the mask, they wear the mask when they're feeling low
