Masquerade

[Verse 1]
I knew a girl from around my way
I used to kick it with her almost every day
She lived in a corner on a backlot
Every night she's awaken by the gunshots
I never saw her mother, I always wondered
Who was in the back room, and did they love her?
Because it seems to me, she was on her own
She was deep in the streets like
Oh, oh, oh
She don't know

[Verse 2]
So we started hanging out in the nightlight
Makin' money, most of it don't feel right
If my mother knew my danger it would kill her
So I kept my tears buried in my pillow
What my lifе used to be now it's faded
All bеcause a little girl was jaded

[Chorus]
She'll know if she believes it (she don't know)
All she knows is what she believes (she don't know)
Searching hard to find the answers (she don't know)
While she's out there in the streets (she don't know)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
[?]
But you look in the mirror to see
That this wasn't a dream only reality
Surprise to see the woman in the mirror was me
Oh, oh, oh (she's a reflection of me)
Oh, oh, oh (the reflection of me)

[Outro]
Now the masquerade is over
All the girls they came to save her
She found out what she believed in
It was her who she believed in
Now the masquerade is over
All the girls they came to save her
She found out what she believed in
It was her who she believed in
Oh, oh, oh
