Fake Persona
- //Start at 0:31//

- Rickie now older just entered better college
- Just acknowledged he'd be empowered with the knowledge
- To maintain sustain the pain in his brain
- Even though he doesn't know if he'll even remain
- Nobody knows if they like the real him
- So he wears a fake mask as if it were a chain
- That's why when the cool guys offered him drugs
- He couldn't say no cause he didn't have the guts
- That's when he took the first puff of weed
- Thinking their street cred was all he would really need
- Rickie thought his life really couldn't get any worse
- Cause after he got HIV he thought his life was cursed
- Spouting all this shit like he go diarrhoea
- But keeps it lowkey ain't no social media
- angel dead there's no hero in him
- That's when he started taking heroin cause

- Rickie thinking that he's in with the cool kids
- Didn't even know that it really was far tougher
- But he thought that he'd finally fit in
- Was finally cool and was finally popular
- See Rickie in reality always hated drugs
- But in front of them it looked like he loved smoking blunts
- Rickie was feeble and knew it wasn't legal
- But in front of them would always take a damn needle
- Then Rickies grade flopped mums now thinking he's brainwashed
- Keep going like this he gon' end in a graveyard
- But Rickie now who the real him is
- Thinking he's playing them just like it's a game
- Gonna keep on acting so he doesn't get any shame
- But he can't forget where he grew up or came
- Didn't know that the fake persona he was using and him
- were becoming one and the same

- Rickie's acting like they queens and kings
- Even though all they do is fucking sell bricks
- Rickie's acting like he's under british rule
- So he obeys them and starts skipping school
- Rickie's acting like he has no mind of his own
- Following them just like he a mindless drone
- Amplifying what they say like a microphone
- He's been reeled in so call that a miked roe phone
- Even though they spend money so they can't pay bills
- Rickie's acting like what they say is God's will
- Even though they just get wasted and faded
- Rickie's mind seems to just gets illuminated
- Even though they talk shit behind his back
- They let Rickie into the group so he can't argue with that
- Figures that "coolness" is what he lacks
- So he give in to them and starts taking crack

- Rickie's taking all the drugs and he's starting to like it
- He thought this shit is actually good and he won't try and fight it
- He thought I've already done it once might as well try it
- But he's just killing himself like he a suicide pilot
- But the plane he's flown is out of control
- Doesn't even know if he's flying to the goal
- Wishing to go back in history like a time capsule
- Making money disappear like a Bermuda triangle
- Rickie dropped outta school and homeless too
- All the friends he was with you know the crew
- Ditched him as soon as his money was through
- They just sacked Rickie and he the quarterback
- But that ain't gonna let him get his quarters back
- He remembered the crew only pitched quarters back
- when he used to be the one funded__pitching in hundreds
- All them tryna convince him buying illegal substance
- Rickie thought he was playing them but they were playing him
- Made his fake persona he was using the real him
- Made the drugs he was abusing the real thing
- Made the mind he was confusing so afflicted
- Cause now Rickie realized to all these drugs he's addicted
