[Verse 1: Locksmith]

And they use to call me light bright

Half breed, white boy, Oreo, what a life right?

Fuck school, stayed home played excite bite

Anything to miss class troubled by my mixed past

Little half Persian and black pupi

Wearing tight jeans cause mum and dad were that frugal

But mum and dad were that crucial

Tryna find my way on this path when it was that useful

Their whole life was under scrutiny

A biracial couple, couple went the fact the mutiny

Confusing me, back then it was that hard

They use to throw dead rats in our backyard

Racial slurs over the fence

A nigga love a Arab paying more than the rent

Portraying more than hits

Some even say its immense, somebody save me a glimpse


[Hook: Ceek]

And there's nothing we can't do

Nothing we can't see, nothing we can't reach

And there's nothing we can't find

Nothing we can't lose, nothing we can't see

But its something deep inside

Mountains we got to climb, something we gotta reach

But its nothing aside of reach

Something you can't show, something you can't teach


[Verse 2: Locksmith]

But they say you get attention when you light skin

But right then i felt the joke, that was critical

The backlash that haunted me from my pass

I would trade it all away for one day to be invisible

Underneath the social microscope

Finding labs in science class is how I would cope

Without a clique to fit in so I devote

Or waste time in a situation that I revoke

The white folks said i was too black the blacks said I was to white

The straight-A students said I was too hype

And all I did was write on my desk dreaming a new life

At night I use to beat on my chest screaming a new vice

What you like is your opinion

Don't expect me to referee a struggle that only few fight

Portraying more than hits

Some even say its immense, somebody save him a glimpse


[Hook: Ceek]

And there's nothing we can't do, nothing we can't see

Nothing we can't reach

And there's nothing we can't find

Nothing we can't lose, nothing we can't see

But it's something deep inside

Mountains we got to climb, something we gotta reach

But its nothing aside of reach

Something you can't show, something you can't teach


[Verse 3: Locksmith]

And they use to call me light bright

Half-breed, white boy, Oreo, what a life right?

Fuck school, stayed home played excite bite

Anything to miss class, troubled by my mixed past

Subjugated to be the subject, bullied by the bully's but fully wasn't above, fuck it

Tryna withstand the quicksand

The wick stands on top of the candles tip keep it lit, damn

Can you u feel my insecurities

Security blankets blanket the truth without maturity

Pure is the intention and admiration

Tryna navigate through my soul with no downloadable application

After waiting the life of Satan

Hauling my past with blatant disregard, this facade inside [?]

Tryna avoid Hell yeah that's adjacent

When you arrive, ask Pastor Mason


[Hook: Ceek]

And there's nothing we can't do, nothing we can't see

Nothing we can't reach

And there's nothing we can't find

Nothing we can't lose, nothing we can't see

But it's something deep inside

Mountains we got to climb, something we gotta reach

But its nothing aside of reach

Something you can't show, something you can't teach
