Lyrics

Yeah
Sometimes I wonder if I belong in the places I prayed for
Like…
If the mirror could talk, what would it say back?
I’m in rooms I used to dream of
Now they all treat me like I’m made of gold
Smile at me like I’m perfect
But I still flinch when they get too close
They don’t know the nights I ain’t eat
They don’t know the weight that I keep
They just see the chains and the fleet
Not the pain that don’t fit in the tweet
Used to lie on my résumé
Now they frame it on the wall
Funny how your truth can feel so small
In a room full of people who think you got it all
Do they love me or the name tag?
Would they talk if I came back
With less to offer, more to confess
Would they still post me or just forget?
If they knew the things I did to get here
Would they respect me or disappear?
If they saw the cracks beneath the glow
Would they still say I’m someone they know?
I feel like a stranger in my skin
Clappin’ for wins I don’t feel within
I’m scared if they see the real view
They won’t love me
Not if they knew
I rehearsed this life like a script
Made success from a flick of the wrist
But every chain got weight
Every plaque got dates
Of the nights I ain’t know if I’d live
Had to cut some corners, bend some truths
Told lies I ain't proud to move through rooms
Now I sit front row with the wolves
Smile wide while they sharpen they tools
And the pressure don’t pause when you win
It just hides in your new skin
Would they dap me if they knew the sins?
Or ghost me like I’m someone who ain’t ever been?
If they knew the things I did to get here
Would they respect me or disappear?
If they saw the cracks beneath the glow
Would they still say I’m someone they know?
I feel like a stranger in my skin
Clappin’ for wins I don’t feel within
I’m scared if they see the real view
They won’t love me
Not if they knew
Imposter with applause in the background
Took the stairs while they all took the fast route
But even now, with the lights and the throne
I still feel most myself when I’m alone
And maybe that’s the cost of the climb
They love the story, not the lines
But I still show up, still shine through
Even if they’d leave
If they knew
