Behind the Mask - Intellectual

[Verse One: Kayncee]

He walks around each day, like nothing can touch him

Even though he knows that life is coming to punch him

But nah he ain't scared, he ain't running, nah stuff it

Cause that's leave a fat dumb kid huffing and puffing

Hidden away all of his feelings behind that mask

No one can see the real him, if he's about to cry or laugh

Hide emotions from the world until he writes the bars

He's staying cold, metal mind cause life is hard

Painting pictures with his words like Picasso or Da Vinci

Many smudged with metaphors while he sketches some clearly

Until he sculpted the mask everyday he was crushed nearly

So he turned cold, bitter, detached, what a glum pity

Sixty seconds in and his head is now aching

Pent up with rage, need to vent his frustration

Trapped as his body still tries defending a station

That's lost in a war fated for the end devastation

Steady breathing, Behind the Mask

Maybe sleeping, Behind the Mask

You won't see him, Behind the Mask

You can not know the man who's Behind the Mask

So this kid has grown up apparently filled with intelligence

But he's of Indian decent so I guess that he's a terrorist

As he tears his wrist, hidden cause he cannot tell 'em this

So all of this causes him to be his own nemesis

Shelving it, these problems have stacked higher than Everest

What happened to the potential he had, blame him, he's wrecking it

It was all on the line, told us he'd give up never, it's

Seeming as if he'll be the dumbest bright kid who has ever lived

Been a few years, failed attempts, sleepless nights

Behind this mask he's numb cause dark eyes ain't seeing light

But on the outside he's fine, an actor faking feelings right?

They can't tell it ain't him, this is now his demon's life

And he hates it, this fake-ness, like a Kardashian naked

He's patiently waiting for a way of escaping

All the rage and the shaking swearing he's gonna make it

What happens if he doesn't and his life ends with him failing?

Steady breathing, Behind the Mask

Maybe sleeping, Behind the Mask

You won't see him, Behind the Mask

You can not know the man who's Behind the Mask
