UNMASKED LyricsThey said I was too loud...
Too honest
Too broken to be divine
But what if I was just... unmasked?
Today I thought about taking the mask off...
No more filters, no more fake grins
No more awards disguising the sin
I thought about walkin’ out the studio —
Not for the crowd, but for my soul
I thought about burnin’ the whole catalog...
'Cause maybe silence is the loudest thing I could ever drop
Sometimes I love me too much
Other times I don’t know who’s beneath this tux
I made pain look like fashion
Turned therapy into platinum
But I ain’t slept in a decade —
Just closed my eyes on private planes
Dreamin’ of bein’ a kid again
Before I had to wear my pain like a chain
Unmasked, I’m a man first
Not a brand
Not your savior
Not a meme
They talk legacy...
But what about sanity?
What about family?
What about the voice in my head that don’t sleep
And the voice on TV that don’t speak for me?
I thought about disappearin’
Like full ghost
Delete my name — leave the rose
I can’t breathe with all this praise
I miss the days when my mama prayed
I miss the days when I ain’t have fans
Just beats, beliefs, and God’s hands
You were never the mask, son
You were always the fire behind it
So this is it...
The last version of me you’ll ever get
No edits. No lies
Just breath and scars...
Just spirit and bars
Let the critics write their scriptures
Let the blogs distort my scriptures
I was never meant to fit...
Just to light up the glitch
Unmasked
Unfiltered
Unchained
Still Ye
Always Ye
Unmasked... now they finally see you... but you already gone
