Will you hate me- Dawud Wharnsby Ali

Smile in the two- way mirror of my eyes

I put on my faith like I wear a disguise

You can’t see my soul

See the life that I live

Show you the mask of the best I can give

I’ve hid here afraid like a child behind.

Truth of my thoughts that clutter my mind.

What if you knew about all that I do?

Things that I think,

The me that is true.

 

Would you call me a hypocrite?

Call me a liar?

Would you curse out my name?

Would you damn me to fire?

Would you know what to say?

Or would you just walk away?

Afraid the me I’ve tried to hide

Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

 

I’ve been looking for answers since becoming an adult

Not looking for dogma to live like a cult

I’ve been looking to live,

I’ve been living to find

Freedom from cages that limit my mind.

 

Would you call me a hypocrite?

Call me a liar?

Would you curse out my name?

Would you damn me to fire?

Would you know what to say?

Or would you just walk away?

Afraid the me I’ve tried to hide

Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

 

Will I scare you, upset you, frustrate you, irate you?

Challenge a lifestyle or weaken your trust

Or will you see my efforts and my passionate sincerity

Would you see just a little of yourself in me

Will you take off your mask so we can both be free.

 

Would you call me a hypocrite?

Call me a liar?

Would you curse out my name?

Would you damn me to fire?

Would you know what to say?

Or would you just walk away?

Afraid the me I’ve tried to hide

Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

this is the song that make me think really hard about my life...

love this song very much...
