INTRO (spoken glitch) Yeah… Strip it back. Take the mask off— let’s see what’s really left. ⸻ VERSE 1 Take all the filters off your face, what you look like? All that flexin’ on the feed, but your book’s light. You been runnin’ from the truth, better look twice— Pressure hit, and you fold like a cheap vice. All noise, no proof, you a blank page. Whole squad full of talk, but the ink fades. I been climbin’ through the static with the clean fade, Every step break ground like a sweep blade. Money on your mind but your mind broke. Talk loud but your substance a light smoke. I don’t follow any trend, I rewrite slope— You just copy every wave like a tied boat. ⸻ PRE-HOOK Where your backbone? Where your real tone? Who you stand for when you stand alone? Take the costume off— Yeah, that’s truth shown. Say you built for war— prove your own throne. ⸻ HOOK Take the hype off, tell me what’s left. Take the brag off, tell me what’s next. Take the whole act down, past the pretext— All your big talk shrink under reflex. Take your fake crown off, who you gon’ be? Take the mask off, show what you see. Strip the noise back, that’s the real key— Ain’t no armor when you stand in front of me. ⸻ VERSE 2 You been livin’ in a lie for the stage time. I been cuttin’ through the dark like a straight line. Every fault that you hide is a stray mine, One step, boom— it reveal all your baseline. I don’t need a chain glow, I’m a real spark. I don’t need a whole crowd, I’m a landmark. Everything you claim loud fall apart fast— I been solid from the jump, that’s the real part. Take your ego down, that’s a detox. You ain’t never held weight like a re-box. I been pushin’ through storms till the beat stops— Stand tall, no fear when the heat pops. ⸻ PRE-HOOK 2 Show your true self— not the bot mode. Cut the playlist— run the raw code. If the world drops— who you gon’ hold? Take the layers off— watch your soul load. ⸻ HOOK 2 Take the hype off, tell me what’s left. Take the brag off, tell me what’s next. Take the whole act down, past the pretext— All your big talk shrink under reflex. Take your fake crown off, who you gon’ be? Take the mask off, show what you see. Strip the noise back, that’s the real key— Ain’t no armor when you stand in front of me. ⸻ BRIDGE (spoken, cold) Yeah… When the filters break… and the lights cut… and the crowd’s gone… Who are you then? ⸻ FINAL HOOK (hardest drop) Take the hype off, tell me what’s left. Take the lies off, feel your own breath. Take the whole world’s weight off your chest— Then stand up, face life with no vest. Take the crown off, take the mask too— No disguise now, nothing to prove. Strip the noise back, let the truth move— This is real life— what’s the real you?
