Clothes on a Mannequin

(Chorus)
A wise man said we all wear masks
At times keepin' it on's too much of a task
His face on the net and your life's on blast
It might slip off, you got to give me a pass
Sometimes I feel like a mannequin
But how they dress me don't make me the man I am
Now the woes don't hamper him
They just lookin' at the Clothes on a Mannequin

(Verse 1)
I want the best cars and the best flow
I want the best broads, that's how that go
I mean I want to be a star and collect dough
But even if I had it all it be just for show
I want the diamonds to make my neck glow
Lust for the next hoe, I love and never let go
I want to run long for my short comings
But I smoke so my breath gon be short runnin'
I wanna be in control, hands on
If I'm the pilot then we won't ever land wrong
But I want to have faith, stand strong
Take the first step when I ain't gotta leg to stand on
I got a lot to give but I want more
With numb thoughts, positive but I'm unsure
On a misplaced getaway, in a disarray
And you don't know the man just what he put on dis-play

(Chorus)
A wise man said we all wear masks
At times keepin' it on's too much of a task
His face on the net and your life's on blast
It might slip off, you got to give me a pass
Sometimes I feel like a mannequin
But how they dress me don't make me the man I am
Now the woes don't hamper him
They just lookin' at the Clothes on a Mannequin

(Verse 2)
I'm too annoyed to cope, tryin' to make a livin'
Given that I don't think that bein' a dope boy is dope
Out of every story only two end in glory
Who am I to think I'm different then every hustler before me
If I took my anger, became a gang banger
I would aim the, aimin' the bang-er, at every stranger
Shorty want to leave, honestly I can't blame her
See the ones you love most are always in the most danger
I talk a little slower so you have to hear
Dead Man Walking, no tatted tears
Or realest to ever do it, cavalier
Hundered thousand dollar car, with rabbit ears
I don't welcome change even if it help him gain
Fuck a hand out, I rather be self contained
LV everythang, lookin' well arranged
Ya'l won't ever known, that I'm practicing self restraint

(Chorus)
A wise man said we all wear masks
At times keepin' it on's too much of a task
His face on the net and your life's on blast
It might slip off, you got to give me a pass
Sometimes I feel like a mannequin
But how they dress me don't make me the man I am
Now the woes don't hamper him
They just lookin' at the Clothes on a Mannequin

(Verse 3)
I been different, never mind I'm just indifferent
Ain't a old timer that'll blame it on a skin pigment
Is it my imagination or a slim figment
Origin's ignant, probably why I'm indignant
Look at haters like 'why is it a issue?'
Is it cause I'm sober but I'm on a high they can't get to
(Guy that would wreck you), fightin' with his pride and his pitful
Guy that was lied as a kid too
Cursin' God out, why he decide to pick dude
Eye big moves but when I try it's abysmal
Dyin' keepin' everythin' inside me a riddle
But they blinded by the condo size and the sick view
Why's, try and answer the why's
What good is havin' eyes, if everythin' you look at you despise
Or do you need ears, when you don't believe anythin' you hear
Maybe it's just somethin' in the air

(Chorus)
A wise man said we all wear masks
At times keepin' it on's too much of a task
His face on the net and your life's on blast
It might slip off, you got to give me a pass
Sometimes I feel like a mannequin
But how they dress me don't make me the man I am
Now the woes don't hamper him
They just lookin' at the Clothes on a Mannequin
