Pretend

[Verse 1: Sayso]
Feeling disconnected like I'm here but no presence
Life's full of problems, angry people, and lessons
You get the good with the bad
Even when you don't want it
Something to always have with you
For when you got attitude
You'll recognize the characters they rocking new clothes
It won't be so terrible
I promise I know
Nothing will change unless you starting within
Shopping on the blackest market, marble it in
Painting a memory blending the past with the present
It's a simple task and now that ask is a message
It's a tad bit pathetic, well at least I tried
Plug in alesis, keying sevens, and pieces
Lightly strumming and humming
I might be jealous or something
I might be telling you something
I'm always asking but I don't receive
Pen to the paper but it don't allev'
Like I'm chasing a high that I no longer seek

[Chorus: Bibi Ross & Sayso]
That's what people do
That's how people live
(Pretend to have a thicker skin, pretend to have it sorted out)
They pretend to never loose
When its all just make believe
(Pretend to have a thicker skin, pretend to have it sorted out)
That's what people do
Because they don't know better
(Pretend to have a thicker skin, pretend to have it sorted out)
Just pretend
You understand
Until everything is figured out in the end

[Verse 2: Sayso]
Pretend to have a thicker skin
Pretend to have it sorted out
No longer a conversation piece
Maybe I'll forget for now
My life already figured
I just have to find the signs
Speaking into existence something simple every time
Are you moving on or are you moving over?
Every move needs to leave you on a better level
Not a demo, it's a viscous cycle, find the pedals
Finding my headphones before I find that Bible
Says a lot about shawty, but I ain't idle
Not looking for attention so don't be eyeing me
Hit me up again "Are we cool after months of silence?"
I don't know what to do after months of trying
I wonder who got the answers and the booze I ain't lying
I'm trying to drink cause I ain't flying
Smooth as my black and mild
Ain't no way to know without error and trial
I guess you got out
Not everyone lucky
If that's what you about
I guess you just lucky
Lucky I figured it out

[Chorus: Bibi Ross & Sayso]
That's what people do
That's how people live
They pretend to never loose
When its all just make believe
That's what people do
(Pretend to have a thicker skin
Pretend to have it sorted out)
Because they don't know better
They just pretend to understand
Until everything is figured out until the end
Pretend to have a thicker skin
Pretend to have it sorted out
That's what people do
They don't know bout you
No one ever knows
Everybody knows
That's what people do
They don't know bout you
So they just assume
Hey, pretend to have a thicker skin
Pretend to have it sorted out
