Yo
Clear out the stage
Bring me the script
The light's too blinding
Camera glitch
Left all the action
Roles don't fit
We all actors
Spotlight lit
How many people that behind the curtains be playing their part
Every heartbeat's a cue, so if I am not acting my best then it's breaking my heart
Chasing for scripts that society threw, getting trapped into roles we can't choose
Lighting be burning like truth
Hiding in shadows our youth, waiting forever to move (Gyah)
Props on set, things we acquire
Costume's heavy, mask a liar
Mask we paint with smiles for show
Lines recite ain't ones we know
What's with the animals, this ain't a zoo
The audience be clapping, they ain't got a clue
They need some drama, the snakes got their cue
All of this acting, decide what is true
Cut, this ain't the perfect take
Get em fired, get another in
They won't notice the fake
Layer them like a piece of cake
Lights camera action, wait who called the shots
Who called the plots?
Stage burning but stuck in my spot
Curtains rise, but truth's what they block
Let the curtains rise
North side, east side, west side, south side
Let the world see you
Who gon who gon ride
North side, east side, west side, south side
Let the world see you
Let em
Jester to kingdom but never the king
Like a clown in a circus, I'm stuck in a ring
Dancing for cheers, with my soul tryna sing
Saw the strings that they pull, somersault off the swing
Serving the raw with no filter, my mic be the sword and my fans be my pillar, Creator like Tyler
I put on a show they don't see, I perform for the lost and the ones who ain't free
Mama ain't raising no quitter, but held a mic now I'm turned to a killer
Studying greats from J. Cole to Mac Miller
War with the pen, now the songs feel like theater (woo)
A one-man show with a pen, orchestrating chaos with the flick of my wrist,
No curtain too thick to conceal what I spit
Rewrite the play, this a show to make the heads spin
Clear out the stage (clear out the stage)
Bring me the script (bring em the script)
The light's too blinding (turn down the light)
Camera glitch (fix the camera)
Left all the action (now we ready)
Roles don't fit (now they fit)
We all actors
Let the curtains rise
North side, east side, west side, south side
Let the world see you
Who gon who gon ride
North side, east side, west side, south side
Let the world see you
Let em
