Intro] (Secure the bag, know what I mean? Banrisk on the beat) (Ayo, Perish, this is hot, boy)
[Verse 1] 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 rеal, so long, it's real
[Verse 2] Always bein' judged by a bunch of strangе 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
