don't judge by my cover
take a look at my spine
this is what binds me
i am not undercover
i am in disguise
this is why i don't recognize
my own right to say
this is why i survived
the scribe i rhymed with you

don't go by my covers
'cause you won't have time
to read between the lines of
white lies
you'll never realize how colorless
my life
really is

so don't look at my cover
but keep an eye on my spine
because i am bound to break it
sometime
