ONE WITH THE MASK FT. THE LASH
(FIRST VERSE)
I’m in love with the game.
And I swear it’s a drug.
Cause I fell for the money and showing face and there’s no coming back up.
That’s just the way that it is.
But that ain’t the way that I come.
I’ve just been working through shit!
I’ve just been praying on love.
I wish I could siphon my hate.
All of my rage for the past.
I would just bottle it up
And toss that shit out with the rest of my trash.
Believe me, I’d burn all this cash.
But now this is all that I have.
At least when the going gets tough and I spent it all up, it keeps coming right back.
(HOOK)
And I’ve got all of these racks.
But money can’t buy all the happiness I ‘lready had.
I gave up the thought of being with someone and treating that shit as your last.
And that’s how it go; I’m feeling as though I’m becoming one with the mask.
I've just gotta let go; just you lemme know if ever I’m moving too fast.
It’s just now more than ever
I’m takin’ it slow with you just to see how it all does!
All of this fiery passion I’ve got for you; it may just burn out the touch.
And I’d take the plunge...
But I ain’t ready because...
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love.
(CHORUS)
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love!
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love.
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love!
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love.
(SECOND VERSE)
I just bust out the pain.
When you pop out for love.
And I know it sounds strange.
I still pray to heavens above.
And to my demons below
Where I keep ten out of ten of my toes.
I could see down the most cleverest roads
But still never know the way that shit go.
Our makeup of carbons different.
Living through life in the wrong commitment .
Started with hugs then it got to kissin’.
Now you bending it over; no opposition.
We tried to talk but we hardly listened.
Caught in the same unresolved confliction.
Hiding the strength of some gone indifference;
I put my exIstence in small percentage
So I felt the raw passion of false conviction.
You wanted to play; I was on a mission.
We felt the same through our hearts position.
We sang but part of the song was missin’.
Trapped in the trust of our forced restriction.
Hoping our souls ain’t too far or distant.
Lost in the drift of my hollow vision
Girl, I thought you should know why I’m ballin’; pimpin’.
YEAH!
(HOOK)
And I’ve got all of these racks.
But money can’t buy all the happiness I ‘lready had.

And that’s how it go; I’m feeling as though I’m becoming one with the mask.
I've just gotta let go; just you lemme know if ever I’m moving too fast.
It’s just now more than ever
I’m takin’ it slow with you just to see how it all does!
All of this fiery passion I’ve got for you; it may just burn out the touch.
And I’d take the plunge...
But I ain’t ready because...
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love.
(CHORUS)
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love!
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love.
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love!
I just bust out the pain...
When you pop out for love.
(THE LASH)

(OUTRO)
This one's for you!
...For you!
...For you and you!
...Especially you!
...Didn't forget about you!
...For you;
For you;
For you and you!
But most importantly...
This one right here?
This one's for you.
It's for you.
It's for you!
You know who you are!
It's for you.
It's for you...
It's for you...
It's for you...
It's for you...
