I'm such a friggin' liar
Yeah
Out of convenience
I'm such a friggin' liar
As a matter of convenience like Maya
Wait, what? Who the heck is that?
Just tryna rhyme, love Maya
Whoever she is
I'm at ease when lyin'
But guilt still lives in my ribs
Paint it pretty like it's art
But the canvas ain't got beauty
Still I say it kinda slick
Yeah, the words come out all nifty
And I know it when I say it
Feel it sittin' in my chest
I confess it like a habit
But I never really rest
I'm at ease when I lie
But it never lets me breathe
Got a truth I keep inside
But it's chokin' me softly
Call it white, call it light
Why we colorin' the flaw?
If it's wrong, then it's wrong
Why I dress it up at all?
I'm such a friggin' liar
Out of convenience
Not like Maya, whoever she is
Still I hide in little phrases
Like it softens what I did
A white lie, but why put the color to a flaw?
If it stains either way, then it's still what it was
Tryna wrap it in a flow just to please the purists listenin'
But the rhythm don't erase all the truth that I been missin'
Yeah, pride comes before the fall
And I feel it when I talk
I can hear it in my tone
Even when I play it off
I'm at ease when I lie
But it never lets me breathe
Got a truth I keep inside
But it's chokin' me softly
Call it white, call it light
Why we colorin' the flaw?
If it's wrong, then it's wrong
Why I dress it up at all?
I'm such a friggin' liar
Out of convenience
Maybe I just like control
Say it how I want it told
Twist the words, shift the line
Make it fit, make it mine
And I laugh like it's small
But I feel it every time
I'm such a friggin' liar
Yeah
Out of convenience
