The Mask By: Eight Feet Tall (Lyrics)


Pull the brim low
because it's time to face the eyes
no matter where I go
no my stash ain't far behind
Hip Hop gold
but I'm caught between the lines
reggae soul, but I'm white
so bleach your eyes

Gonna ride the tides around mine
if the player don't play
& the team don't mind
gotta find the time to rewind this side
cause an A-track rhyme  doesn't age too fine


Let's all put different faces
everybody in your spaceships
screw this planet let's replace it
fix this place before we waste it

Put a maze in waves around hay days
purple haze & fade the things they say
little rage ain't raise the real pay wage
here's the play to save the day plainly

-----------------------------------------------------

We got the brains in place &
don't matter who we're facin'

re-arrange this planets pace &
just call it space invadin'

We been around & we know what your drink is
You lost your mask now we see what your thinkin'

Got love  but I'll save you time
you ain't walkin' with a broken spine

Ain't no limit for the mind to shine
Bring your gimmick if you challenge mine

What's a little kid gotta do to fly
world gone dark never saw the signs

Hit that spark time to light the lies
mask so fake  that the music died

-------------------------------------------------------

You are what you are so set the bar
not too far try your reach & grab the stars
blast off hard take a map & walk on mars
It's your yard no one else can box with god

Flip that switch go & face the angry mob
take your mask throw it out across the pond
make that switch time play the only song
it's your life & it's on but not for long

Missed that & you take off strong
never had a second to rethink whats wrong
tellin' all your friends that your hope is gone
bailin' on your plans cause your mask fell off

feelin' half wrong it's on before dawn
& those that don't mind  won't make it too long
we all sing along  the feelings too strong
the music all gone  its time to move on

-----------------------------------------------------
We got the brains in place &
don't matter who we're facin'

re-arrange this planets pace &
just call it space invadin'

We been around & we know what your drink is
You lost your mask now we see what your thinkin'

Got love  but I'll save you time
you ain't walkin' with a broken spine

Ain't no limit for the mind to shine
Bring your gimmick if you challenge mine

What's a little kid gotta do to fly
world gone dark never saw the signs

Hit that spark time to light the lies
mask so fake  that the music died
