The Mask
Each day as I awake to face another endless task,before I show my face outside the door I don the mask,
So no-one see's the real me,it's a front ['n' that's a cert],the mask it's my security prevents me getting hurt,
A wall that i can hide behind,a door that I can lock,if I let you glimpse the real me you'd be in for quite a shock,
See,I wouldn't last five minutes in this game and please believe,for the little girl lost inside of me's so vulnerable,naive,
see when the Crack life found me 'n' I got hooked on this bad stuff,I knew I'd never make the day l'est I became more tough,
So I worked on my performence and I played the leading role,and to be a smarter wiser,tougher girl it was my goal,
Well I learned my lines wiyth accuracy no-one taught me how,and I played the part 'til I became the person you see now,
But don't you get too close or I shall put you in your place,l'est you should try to look behind the mask that hides my face.
