Worn-out shoes, same jeans every day
Laughin’ at me like I’m in your way
You don’t know the gates I could unlock
But I’d rather walk than ride with fake love talk
Gold in my closet, but I wear this pain
Tryna find warmth in the pouring rain
You see a shadow, but I’m more than that
I wear this mask, so I know where you’re at
I hide my name, I dim my flame
You think I’m nothin’, but I run the game
I’m just tryna find someone real, who’ll stay
When they don’t know what I could throw away
I got diamonds, I got fame
But I’d trade it all not to play this game
So I walk alone, but I’m not ashamed
Just searching for love, not chasin’ acclaim
Whispers in hallways, they call me a freak
But I could buy the school, burn it down in a week
I smile and nod, I let it slide
‘Cause money can’t fix what’s empty inside
Truth in my silence, pride in disguise
I’m rich in my pocket, but poor in their eyes
I’ve tasted the top, but it’s lonely there
So I walk down low just to see who cares
I hide my name, I dim my flame
You think I’m nothin’, but I run the game
I’m just tryna find someone real, who’ll stay
When they don’t know what I could throw away
I got diamonds, I got fame
But I’d trade it all not to play this game
So I walk alone, but I’m not ashamed
Just searching for love, not chasin’ acclaim
One day you’ll know the truth I breathe
That I chose this life so I could see
Who loves me broke, who sees me clear
Not just the name or the souvenirs
I hide my name, I dim my flame
You think I’m nothin’, but I run the game
One day I’ll rise, and they’ll know my face
But only the real ones get to share that space
I got diamonds, I got fame
But real hearts can’t be bought or tamed
So I walk alone, but I’m not ashamed
Still dreaming of love that don’t know my name
