[Intro]
I called this Lied To My Face because you know, I haven't really been too truthful to myself and you know, sometimes I feel like I'm just writing too many punchline based rap songs. And I don't know, I feel like I just gotta spill my guts on this one
[Hook] {x2}
They see me joking a lot I'm really hoping that they're not
Thinking that's all I do
Feeling low all the time, think I'm losing my mind
But I hide it all from you
[Verse 1]
Let me tell you why I started to rap
Guess it's always been a part of my act
Was a new kid moving to another damn school
Getting picked on cause I wasn't that cool
His name was "Will", punched me in the nose
Bathroom cleaning up the blood that's on my clothes
Looking in the mirror I think I might snap
Next time he swings on me I'ma hit him right back
Next time he's creeping on Corey
A kid named Trevor went and beat him up for me
We started hanging for a couple of days
He showed me 8 Mile at his cousin's place
Remember watching in the family basement
Another rapper's taking what another rapper's saying
Then he flips it off the spot I thought that that's amazing
And ever since then I've been infatuated
It's a path I'm taking, I thought I told ya
I started rhyming I got a new persona
Was in the background, then I rap now
Started telling jokes I was just a cla** clown
I tried to make everybody laugh
I did it, got acceptance from my cla**
Then we got a new kid, another student
Everybody teased him I thought that I would do it
I was writing rhymes just to diss him for these guys
Everybody laughed he'd sit there and he'd cry
And yeah I felt guilty inside
But being popular's was the only thing that's on my mind
In high school the same sh** just went on
Different from the rest I guess I'm somewhat odd
My therapist thought that there was something wrong
I guess we'll save that sh** for another song
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Real talk I wrote you this track
Just to show you there's emotion attached
Cause Charron was known to joke and hope for a laugh
Afraid to open up so I throw on a mask
To your faces, it's just lies and lies
I've always needed something I can hide behind
Watching 8 Mile upon the TV
Tell myself one day that it's gonna be me
Six years later, contact Organik
You've won like every contest on the planet
Still don't understand it, I should be proud
People recognize me when I'm walking around
Struggling for money calling this your fame
More likes upon the status then there's dollars to my name
Travelling the globe, again and again
Proud of what I've done but not content where I am
[Hook]
