Caught Capping

Yeah…

Sometimes you see everything…

But you don’t say nothin’.

Just smile through it.

Even when it’s killin’ you slow.

---

I been peepin’ all the lies, but I play it cool,

Actin’ like it don’t hurt, like I’m some kind of fool.

Everybody swear they real ’til you need ’em the most,

Funny how the closest ones turn into ghosts.

I been drownin’ in my thoughts, tryna breathe through the pain,

Tryna act like I’m okay, but I’m breakin’ again.

They say “keep your head up,” but they don’t know the fight,

Smilin’ in the daytime, dyin’ every night.

---

And I ain’t sayin’ nothin’, I just let ’em talk,

Let ’em paint they pictures while I take my walk.

’Cause I see everything they do behind my back,

But I just laugh it off like it ain’t all that.

---

Yeah, you caught capping —

Think I ain’t notice, but I did.

You was lyin’ through your teeth,

I just played it like a kid.

Smilin’ like I’m straight,

But inside I’m barely standin’.

Heart so heavy, but I still keep managein’.

Yeah, you caught capping —

But I ain’t trippin’, I ain’t crashin’.

I been hurt before,

This just another chapter happenin’.

I’m smilin’ through the pain,

Even when my soul is crackin’.

You was out here lyin’,

But I’m the one who’s adaptin’.

---

I done gave my all to people who ain’t give it back,

Loved folks who only loved me when it kept ’em on track.

I been prayin’ for some peace, but the storm don’t stop,

Tryna climb out this hurt, but the hill too steep to drop.

I been holdin’ in the tears, tryna stay composed,

Actin’ like I’m numb, but the truth still shows.

You can fake a lot of things, but you can’t fake pain,

And you can’t hide the thunder when it’s pourin’ in your brain.

---

So I just keep quiet, let the world keep spinnin’,

Let ’em think they winnin’, while I mind my business.

’Cause God see the truth even when I don’t speak,

And the strongest ones cry when the world call ’em weak.

---

Yeah, you caught capping —

Think I ain’t notice, but I did.

You was lyin’ through your teeth,

I just played it like a kid.

Smilin’ like I’m straight,

But inside I’m barely standin’.

Heart so heavy, but I still keep managein’.

Yeah, you caught capping —

But I ain’t trippin’, I ain’t crashin’.

I been hurt before,

This just another chapter happenin’.

I’m smilin’ through the pain,

Even when my soul is crackin’.

You was out here lyin’,

But I’m the one who’s adaptin’.

---

I ain’t mad, I ain’t bitter, I just see you clear,

And I ain’t holdin’ on to nothin’ that ain’t meant to be here.

I been fightin’ for my peace, tryna guard my heart,

’Cause every lie you told just tore me apart.

---

But I still smile…

Even when it hurts deep.

Still love…

Even when the love cheap.

Still rise…

Even when I’m barely standin’.

You was out here cappin’ —

But I’m the one who’s lastin’.
