Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Code switching feel like camouflage Whole life feels like it's a mirage An illusion Am I lucid enough to know that this shell can not cover all my flaws? With this cocoon I've concocted, containing my fragile body I show I'm stronger than what I appear My biggest fear is that my fraudulence will peek through this peephole And pierce me, as peers see I'm not who I ought to... be Cause in this state, I'm bout as frail as a feather That's often weathered by the winds that beat against her Been tormented by the showers, so I cower To a space where I feel safe, and empowered Another layer that surrounds her The deception of this position I'm in This cocoon is paper thin, it's bout as thick as my skin So I blindly retreat kindly to a place they'll never find me Isolated again, till I feel as strong as I'd like to pretend I pretend to see the benefits and overlook the detriment Hiding my disposition in the corners of a smile Relying on these walls to fortify me Till I can finally face the world outside me without lying, wow Code switching feel like camouflage Whole life feels like it's a mirage An illusion Am I lucid enough to know that this shell can not cover all my flaws? Oh, oh, oh My flaws, my flaws This cocoon is supposed to be a catalyst for metamorphosis Instead, I've found that it's my stagnant part of growth My cubby of conformity I constantly succumb to parts of me that never want to go When confrontation comes to face me, I run from its abrasive embrace And I find solace in this quiet place I run away, I feel ashamed, I can't leave out the way I came And so I stay, but then I stay till there's no space for me to change It's always Precedented by the pressures of appearances to say that I'm okay The purpose of this room is to make me bloom into a butterfly But how can I justify leaving out of here the same? Instead, I use my name Deflect the deeper parts of me, and all throughout my artistry claim I'm a dope emcee who's doing things Undoubtedly they trust in me, but it's all been a game I must come clean, this life is hard for me to maintain Code switching feel like camouflage Whole life feels like it's a mirage An illusion Am I lucid enough to know that this shell can not cover all my flaws?
