Masquerade

[Verse 1]

I knew a girl from around my way

I used to kick it with her almost every day

She lived in a corner on a backlot

Every night she's awaken by the gunshots

I never saw her mother, I always wondered

Who was in the back room, and did they love her?

Because it seems to me, she was on her own

She was deep in the streets like

Oh, oh, oh

She don't know

[Verse 2]

So we started hanging out in the nightlight

Makin' money, most of it don't feel right

If my mother knew my danger it would kill her

So I kept my tears buried in my pillow

What my lifе used to be now it's faded

All bеcause a little girl was jaded

[Chorus]

She'll know if she believes it (she don't know)

All she knows is what she believes (she don't know)

Searching hard to find the answers (she don't know)

While she's out there in the streets (she don't know)

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

[?]

But you look in the mirror to see

That this wasn't a dream only reality

Surprise to see the woman in the mirror was me

Oh, oh, oh (she's a reflection of me)

Oh, oh, oh (the reflection of me)

[Outro]

Now the masquerade is over

All the girls they came to save her

She found out what she believed in

It was her who she believed in

Now the masquerade is over

All the girls they came to save her

She found out what she believed in

It was her who she believed in

Oh, oh, oh
