Dr. Dre
I’m Back Remix (The Masquerade)
[Verse 1]
Today I think I'm gonna end the masquerades
Cause I’m really getting agitated
At the people tryna hide their true colors
Cause they don’t want you to see what the masquerade covers
We’re all stubborn, believing in deceit
Leaving them to delete our allegiance to the verity
The truth is that just certain people will be free
The least of the least with their indecency, increased
Lest we not forget the flaws in the nation
Doing wrong til the gods liberate us
So tired of these misogynistic incels
These racists, the basics of necessary intel
Missing since Trump got voted into office
Unfairness making us feel godless
A lot of y’all keep choosing to be dishonest
And that is the main reason why
[Hook]
Today
Your masquerades will never see the light of day again
Finalizing it, I’ll make you pay
No more masquerade
My definite decision
To end your pretense with expert precision
Right now I’m on a mission, and that is
To end your masquerade
[Verse 2]
If there was ever some days that I could ever erase
It’d be the days that idiots decided everyone’s fate
Kept McConnell in, and narrowed it down to Trump and Biden
I’ll never be restoring my faith, uh
Brain screwed up, rage brewed up
Cause some certain people try to make you nothing
Some try to turn your aspiration to dust
This world’s showing me that hate is the new love
What a lesson to be taught, at such a young age
I learned it from some of the stuff that some say
Discouraging is a hobby for the ones that love hate
And hate love, they just love to complain, yeah
At this rate, they’re becoming a lost cause
Not even religious, but I’m praying for them
People like them fail, I’m putting that on God
Looks like my intensity is enabled again, cause
[Hook]
Today
Your masquerades will never see the light of day again

No more masquerade

To end your pretense with expert precision

To end your masquerade
[Verse 3]
The destruction of all your messiahs
I'm the messenger, identifying liars
The blessing in disguise for your mindsets
The ender of deceivers, the demystifier
Are you gonna let strangers control you?
Are they really all your mind is devoted to?
Are you gonna let them be all that's hope for you?
Or will you take control over what's provoking you?
People hate me because I'm so real
People break me cause of what they don't feel
There's a difference, your lyrics are average
Mine are mean, taking obscene to the extreme
I'm a master, you're just a square piece of a puzzle
Got the powers to bury tons of rappers deep in the rubble
The critique should put a kid like me in a bubble
But I think these wannabes are the least of my troubles
Been dropping 3 tears like Johnny
Y'all can catch me moving through the scene like Charlie
Hopefully people know how much I hate them
Better be ready cause I’m gonna make them
Crumple to the ground like Forbes Avenue bridge
Cause my fakeness is equal to the facts that you spit
I kill cause I ain’t average, I’m a master at this
You think I’m so bad? Could I ask you to spit?
Yeah, you'll turn around for one second
Get completely frickin demolished like Phineas Gage
I been pretty insane since I first put the pen to the page
I’ll kill these rappers till the end of my reign
I really don’t care about what everyone’s saying
I’ll do whatever I want whenever I please
But to make it to my peak, I’ll do whatever it takes
Even though I’m satisfied with my evident craze
They don’t agree with what I have to say
But I’ll still be going till my last of days
I don’t need to be a liar, I don’t have to fake
I just love watching all your little bad charades
I used to feel like a castaway, uh
Life has sucked but it’s back in place
My goal is something that I have to achieve
And that one goal is to end your masquerade
