Jamal vs Lamaj
Living a double life, is easier than you think
Just wear the mask, loud and proud, no one will even blink
You play your role, you know who they want to see
The beloved son, the athlete, maybe even the geek
The difficulty comes when hiding what is underneath
Another you, gray and weakened, but yearning to speak
This one wants to be heard, this one has a story to tell
This other you has a story, its one about your personal hell
But never will he get a chance, you can't risk a squeak
Can't risk losing the reputation that you have on the street
