[Woke]

Listen, I'm tired of beating round the bush
Speaking half truths as we're eating up it's soot
The lies I weaved have entangled you so look,
I'll be honest if you promise to not yell and stay put

Have you ever had a secret burn a hole in your soul
Singeing inch by inch until what remains is it's core
And deep down the pain flourishes free
Multiplies and divides, it's nourishment? Me.
I was born different, how you couldn't tell is odd
To start off, I walk with lavish pep with each trot
Yet jog as loose limbs flail round free
Murderous looks made to catch tail with ease
Handsome. Debonaire. Suave and so clean
Hairless. Not a single Grey dulling my sheen
I mean, I convinced you to buy the best product
I scream as the spider gets crushed by my goddess
Let's be honest, I'm only peeling open eyes
I love you but rarely deep inside your thighs
I've been hiding since birth, covered in disguise
Masking reality while shouldering my pride
Carrying the weight of this secret crushing me inside
I love you Missy, but I'm simply amiss with my life
Deep down our hearts have been intertwined
But my love in this closet is something I need to define
I wrongfully hid the truth, I know
I apologize, for I was born this way
And tried to mask my roots and soul
Instead of showing you my sleeve with my heart exposed



Beneath this Mask
