The Actor In My Mind

The actor in my mind plays a lot of games He deceives me and goes by many names It's like my life is one big flick And I'm the main character but I can't quit I forget my script. And mess up my lines I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme It wasn't a musical we were performing This chorus is just the warning Sometimes I feel like I'm just acting Which is why I'm consistently rapping About how you must find the real self And stop acting like the fake self You have to stop letting the fake self take over You can't find luck. Four leaf clovers You shouldn't let the actor have authority You shouldn't let him. He's not worthy Like picking up Thor's hammer He couldn't do it. Not in all his glamor But he will lie and tell you he can He will lie to you and ask you to take his hand but That won't work out well for you That's not what I want you to do It's not what God wants for you So stop listening to him dude The actor in your mind is a professional actor Aka a professional liar He will get you to do what he wants If you let him get inside your heart So keep your heart like a barricaded fortress Don't let the actor in if he's being an orphan Cuz just remember that he's acting No truth here. His career is acting The actor in my mind plays a lot of games He deceives me and goes by many names It's like my life is one big flick But I'm the main character so I can't quit I forget my script and mess up my lines I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme I started to spit and now it's messed up But I'd like to see you shut me up I know I can't speak for everyone But I can tell you that I've got one I've got an actor in my mind But i don't ever let him see outside He doesn't get to see the light of the sun He's locked up now where no one Can ever see him ever again Cuz there was a time where he was free to run but that was back when I was confused and very open Back when I was dying and I was choking I was choking on the stuff i was eating It wasn't food so I was taking quite a beating I was feeding on the lies of that actor He was beating me and giving many fractures My body was broken and it was hurting But he sparked a passion in me for me to start wording All my pain and feelings into a beat I'll explain what I mean. Take a seat Pain is a big inspiration for my music Music is the place to go where I'm safe to lose it It's the place where I let out all my feelings All my heartache and pain to start my healing It's a really easy way for me to communicate You can't heal properly if you have anything fake yeah The actor in my mind plays a lot of games He deceives me and goes by many names It's like my life is one big flick And I'm the main character so I can't quit I forget my script and mess up my lines I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme My movie shouldn't rhyme it's not 8 mile But it should rhyme and it's not 8 mile The Actor in my Mind The Actor in my Mind Makes me mad all the time The Actor in my Mind The Actor of my Mind He's not the Ruler of my Mind The Actor in my Mind The Actor in my Mind Makes me mad all the time The Actor in my Mind The Actor of my Mind Not the Ruler of my Mind The actor in my mind plays a lot of games He deceives me and goes by many names It's like my life is one big flick And I'm the main character so I can't quit I forget my script and mess up my lines I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme I decided to change the script But now y'all look at this The actor in my mind Aye.
