You once asked
You have the light to fight the darkness
Why keep it hidden- why keep it suppressed
So I'm answering- I do so because the world is evil
That people we sole loved- would turn to stabbed us fast
Like Eddie- the ****** who made a day tearing down people
With a pretense that they won't react- that they will forgive all lies
And understand that deeds be made silent- that tis something civil
To prepare one a coffin and buy them a grave- Daredevils I call them
So I learned to enjoy being alone, n' runoff the words of perfect gleam
Like tis something too clean to dream- like I'm happy within this dirt

Although I live in this dirt
My mind is well clean- it is pure
As pure as drops falling from the sky
Or pool of tears raining from a hurtful eyes
For the world spurned me an incurable wound
And I appease I be gone, and bury deep within ground
But destiny plays in gamy- it spoke: speak n quit been afraid
You cannot conceal till my script reads in silence- turnaround
And let's play another game- let's play my game of disguise
Let's bend our heads, and pretend our prestige is lost
I know of a place belonging to us- somewhere across

Let's work to build a wall, a trench n' a drawbridge
To cover the liquid of our tears n' end this hurtful rage
For the rest we'll seek- won't be afraid to do some lurching
We'll do everything blind n' walk the street in common disguise
A guise of a friendship that makes us appear like an apparition
We all have pages we don't read loud- we learn n' developed
Forget and move on, for those troubles become a memory
And if they judge- destiny cried tis a blessing in disguise
When people asked, I say tis wisdom that isn't denied
For I was hoping for you- to find you in a disguise
Like the scene of Eddie's coming to America

I solely thought you couldn't see through the clouds of my disguise
But destiny played a cruel game on me- you saw the charade of Africa
And read between those lines of my lives and told of my hidden secret
The world has spurned you, why not ***** in her streams- they cried
"Do come into my arms and loose yourself in my dreams"- You said
With a disguise, you'd slipped through the cracks of my heart
And mold a throne of your own, so no one could unseat you
My heart is trapped- like a bird who's devoted to you
Oh! release me, so I made carry the stakes for you
For I'm in such hurry to see what happens
When a blessing meets a disguise
Love and the struggles between it
