trace strider - fake smile lyrics

Loading...

{intro}

stuck in life’s undertow
shoulda left more stuff at home
materialism just comes and goes
every milestone i undergo

has insecurity come to show?
hard times don’t stunt my growth
too much forethought, to undisclosed
i’m kind, some deserve me as cutthroat
{verse 1}

please don’t get in my zone
feels so good when i reap what i sow
imma fall forward when i reach my goals
why wear a fake smile for the people that are close?

i don’t wanna go and bring em down
when i fall deep in thе catacomb
it’s embarrassing at times, but hear mе out
that’s the exact reason i sit back alone

[0:27]

now instead i pray for vigilance
just in case that pain is imminent
i wanna be incased in bliss again
even if it means to embrace some ignorance
i don’t wanna go play as innocent
take every day in increments
don’t delay the predicaments
shame is imprisonin’
n0body can explain the state i’m in

[0:42]
when i speak from the heart
you can tell that i keep it closed off
at least when the lights go out
n0body can come close enough to ever even seein’ these scars

override the effect
if it feels so right in the end
finally i be vibin’ with this
silence has been
a way for me to break
in private again

[0:56]

is it makin’ sense
i only play to win
so i be savin cents
i don’t need to go and fake a grin
that’s a great way for me to start fadin’ quick

now add it up
hands on till my scratches come
no worries, imma patch it up
stay active, bruh
got hunger pains, but i’m back for lunch
yeah i’m back for more, i ain’t had enough
hyperfocused, when i feel the sadness come
why i wrote this
imma open up
on the edge of my seat so i have to budge

i won’t hold no grudge
no sir
i said hold up

i been ten toes down
i’m up early in morning building my buzz

i stay workin’ right through the night
day by day, forgin’ on my life
defensive, but i’m fortified
seen others struggle so i’m forced to rise

no curse but i swear on the mic
i been daring to climb
none of y’all impairing my sight
i appear as polite
but, sometimes, my sincereness divides

i might seem better
then i write these letters
i don’t mind things denser
don’t bash again
i’ll be the crisis that enters
see me light these embers
every night at dinner
feel the passion hit

shoulda kept your mouth closed
or kept it on the down low
like your respect for a woman, how cold
don’t take advice from the council

[1:51]

yeah i saw your message
didn’t care enough to read the comment
only asked you a simple question
hmm and you seemed to dodge it
besides me and how you treat women, something else might be your problem
someone who is so nice to my face
but also standoffish

somethings off
look me in the eyes, what’s wrong?
with your friends, you act far away
then one+on+one it’s all been great

excellent
think you forgot who you’re messin’ with
well let’s get one thing clear
thought you’d find a career path
and accomplish more than you did this year

falling behind in the rear view
runnin’ your mouth with no purpose
can’t even hear you
stay in your lane, don’t burden
putting down women with words, that’s weak
what’s worse than?
your opinions of people
or your facade that’s been see+through?
two+faced and deceitful
you’re too lame i don’t need you

the difference between you and i
is i provide and protect
you like to stereotype and project
when i look in your eyes
what should i expect?
your life is a mess
i’m late but i’ve been on time
you can disagree even when i’m right
act weird when you’re with the guys
put downs are generalized
making fun of women
the cowardice been implied

lucky i don’t name drop
you know it’s all good though man
just don’t do it again

ha ha!
peace
