lyrics

Verse 1:
Walk in a room; yeah check it who’s entertaining
We act according to what its content dictates-draining
Not what our hearts may deeply indicate
Social pressures fluctuate like international exchange rate
I’m ruled by deep-set fear of rejection
Heart and soul thrown out to make an impression
Societal norms, political storms, bring about deep personality suppression
Bring it back, yeah, lets be real, its better than fake

Chorus
People are defined what’s socially accepted
I don’t live on this earth to be publically vetted
Lets get real-common regain unaffected

Verse 2:
Little girl three brothers, wanted pink and the lace
Didn’t understand why Barbie and guns didn’t fit in the same space
Traded time for a time where brothers could braid and sisters could raid
Climb a tree with the best of ‘em
Build a fort and past the test of mum
Couldn’t afford new dresses so dressed same as the rest of ‘em
We were all pretty blessed cause dad hes the best of ‘em
I wanted the pink, I wanted the laced but lets be real its better than fake

Chorus
People are defined what’s socially accepted
I don’t live on this earth to be publically vetted
Lets get real-common regain unaffected

Verse 3:
Tragedies of ambiguity in what should be a safe community
To show my face without my mask would be complete and utter lunacy
I caved foolishly to stereotype that crushed me completely
My soul cries out mutiny, the real me break out -live truthfully
Ambiguity, my previous course caused much remorse
Choose the road of truthful identity and represent it ruthlessly
The goal in the end to bring life back to a corpse
Remember who you are social white lies kill by identity morphs
