I stand before you on this stage
I don't hide
A portrait, or maybe an abstract painting for you to ponder at for a while
I am usually the punch line of a joke
Tend to hide, unable to because I choke
All ambition, and great ideas quickly go up in smoke.
Here, I stand before you on this stage
I don't hide
Fearless, doubtless, and boundless
I confess I am here because I am selfish.
I love the attention, the gratification, and the sweet mention of my name.
Pride that I can't hide, and I reside in my infatuation with the fame
Here I stand before you on this stage
I don't hide
I live for the smiles, fuel that last me for miles, pressing the right buttons and dials
For this brief moment, I am a well oiled machine, polished and clean, trimmed and lean
Here I stand before you on this stage
I don't hide
I tell you my pains, and my fruitful gains, the lovers I had and wanted in vain, shoved into the friendzone lane.
I'll tell you about my late father, and my lovely mother. Talk about God and how I don't even bother with him.
Here I stand before you on this stage
I don't hide
Our reveal my mental state, my refusal in believing in fate, tell you about my experiences and all the Sh**t on my plate
I am here...this is me now
