Call me shady cause I deceive
but you don't want me just to be myself
I'm a product of what you built
Cause the truth is not something you handle well
You want me to escape your lies
You capture all you know with them
This will be our demise
Life is short but lies can last a long time

You'll never know
my strength, my pain, the pressure
You'll never know the truth in my endeavors
but I'm alright as long as I smile
Things are good cause I'm positive today
I have something left to say

My heart's at peace
but prepared for war if need
dead men always cease
Always look ahead but never reach
People don't help a helping hand
Life teaches and God commands
Always chill and that just means I'm cold
Cold enough to withstand this road
resentment I attempt not to hold

You'll never know
my strength, my pain, the pressure
You'll never know the truth in my endeavors
but I'm alright as long as I smile
Things are good cause I'm positive today
I have something left to say

Don't want to face it
but I'll brace it
I can take it

I won't stop learning me
even if I don't like what I see
I can't run or turn away
opportunity to be the greatest version of me
Through being aware I'll become free
I'll find it, I'll own it
The moment I can see

You'll never know
my strength, my pain, the pressure
You'll never know the truth in my endeavors
but I'm alright as long as I smile
Things are good cause I'm positive today
I have nothing left to say
