Lyrics

Verse 1 [Guvna B]

So many faces we see every day of our lives

On the road, in cars, on trains to the left to the right

Who knows what lies inside as I write this rhyme

Somebody in the world’s dying right now

And somebody’s smiling right now

And somebody’s listening, so I can’t put the mic down

We only see we're skin deep, and nobody knows what’s in deep

Pain can hide behind a smile, a laugh can hide away the strain

But it will fade after a while, you’ll have to deal with it again

And life’s a big rainbow, the sunshine works with the rain

Chorus [GKiD]

It’s skin deep, nobody knows what’s in deep

They only see me from the outside, and they don’t know the struggle I try to hide

It’s skin deep, that’s all they see from where their feet are

But in my heart is so much deeper, I know that I’ve got much more to show…

Talking: [Guvna B]

Sometimes, it’s safer to hold it all in

Where the only person who can judge you is yourself

Have you ever walked into a place full of so many people and still felt lonely?

Verse 2 [Guvna B]

And I got news for you, and I’ve got an idea what you can do

For the depth of your soul, cry out for the Lord

When I put the mic down, find out from a source

When you wanna lie down, cry out for support

It’s a rough road, just go through

You’ll find out when you walk, how strong you are

And sticks and stones might break your bones, but words hurt too

And they don’t know the pain I felt when words burst through

I’ll keep on going, walk the road and that alerts you

The God inside, he keeps me going and that should spur you on

Chorus [GKiD]

It’s skin deep, nobody knows what’s in deep

They only see me from the outside, and they don’t know the struggle I try to hide

It’s skin deep, that’s all they see from where their feet are

But in my heart is so much deeper, I know that I’ve got much more to show…

Al Pacino "Inches" Speech:

We can fight our way back into the light

We can climb out of hell

It all comes down to today

We heal as a team, and we’re gonna come…..
