"Unveil the Mask"
  by MR. BYRD


An eye for an eye
For the ones who get on the site and pry
Wake up just smell their lies
Across the screen
Wearing the mask...of identity theft
Is it you?
Or is it the person to your left
You write to cover your image
Because people has back you up past the line of scrimmage
But why conceal...but yet you won't reveal
The real you..I guess what you write isn't true
I heard of alter egos, but damn
3 of a kind
but only one behind of the mastermind of immoderate schemes
I guess personalities has it's issues it seems
Why don the mask of death
If you won't allow yourself to value peace
Why don the mask of tranquility
If hatred against others your ability
Why don yourself under midnight themes
If crying wolf is the new gimmick
Do we mask our relationships
Because the lies inside tell the hurtful truth
We mask our inner self so we don't have to challenge fear
I guess it's cool to wear 3 masks
To hero your way to be a musketeer
But sooner or later you will be exposed
Because a book of lies never stay closed forever
Whether you're a lyrical genius or flat out clever
Clever for people to buy what you're saying
Yet alone producing lies underneath their eyes
But a complex code can always be cracked
You write the same or have a similar flow
Tell me who you are so we can go toe to toe
Mano e Mano
Because contrary to public opinion
The 3 masks are one and same
So come on...unveil your name ha ha ha ha ha ha
