Jean Grae - Mask. Lyrics
[Verse 1]Man, the things you learn in this world deserve space, their own orbitsThe pleasurable, the most morbidNo post-posting your destiny til you're post-mortemBut I guess I'm mostly post-modern in my theorems thougha lot, [redacted] in moderationBut my moderation's higher than the average humanI choose to use imagination more than normalI'm dreaming right now, I teleported you through portalsSupported with the thought that thoughts become things in an instantAn instinct is to think fastWhen you blink, you wait for impactYou blink and Jeannie been pastNo blockage and no impasseCannot is not in this class, no Ramadan is this fastI won't promote a groupthinkEmote so much I leave verbatim in the booth, thickAnd I would never use this music to abuse thingsI just want mother*****ers to do thingsDamn[Hook]Take your mask right off andShow me your faceI love youThere is a place for usPromise I'll keep you safeAnd show me yourShow me yourShow me yourShow meShow me your[Verse 2]There's nothing wrong with the chinks in your armorCharacter building like your damages, sans for dramaAnd if you're dealing with your issues, bonusBut cannot deal with them with you -- I know you're mostly a lonerBut I'm alone in it too, holding your shoulderAnd I would like to hold it all if you're feeling the momentThough we could see where we're goingPursuing something that's beautifulI'm a hopeless romanticI hope this doesn't do damage to all the friendship we're buildingI never claimed to be copingAnd even keeping closed my [redacted], a door that's usually openCause you're unusually focused, and that's the nail in the coffinThat I've been laying and loving, just waiting here in the darkWant to tell you but can'tIt's steady killing me softlyI just orbit you oftenYou're amazing, but ***** itI keep rejection at bay and my feelings graciously tucked inWanna say I want your name to form a suffix[Hook]
