lirik lagu mario william vitale - drop the disguise
looking in the mirror i see a person in pain
trying to find shelter from reality’s rain;
seeing life as barren and bane
feeling despair like bruce wayne
though named after the fabled sir lancelot
i’m no legendary knight of camelot;
too silent, stoic and shy to ever talk a lot
stranded in sp-ce like an astronaut
feeling alienated and of a different breed
words ignored and never paid heed;
a knight without his princess, a knight without his steed
suffering from years of rage, looking to be freed
never knew how i’d survive
with these insecurities eating me alive;
fearful to take the wheel and drive
anxiously waiting for the day that light would finally arrive
i’m just another traveler lost without a map
would’ve succ-mbed to the darkness, if it wasn’t for basketball and rap;
mom and dad said that they were only traps
but they are my p-ssions that helped to fill the gap
basketball helped remind me of my humanity
having fun shooting hoops with others and retaining my sanity;
rap elevated my speech and vocabulary minus the profanity
but i focused on philosophy rather than vanity
studying lebron and carmelo’s scoring displays
copying chris paul’s p-ssing ways;
watching kobe and jordan’s fancy fadeaways
inspiring my own unique style of play
hours of listening to eminem’s robust rhymes
as well as reading 2pac and biggie’s lyrical lines;
practicing my own verses a million times
patiently waiting for hopeful signs
looking back at my past i thought i was zero
people looking at me like i was just some weirdo;
no longer a raging bull like robert de niro
because i realized that i was my own true hero
today i’m dropping the disguise
today i’m going to be humble and wise;
today i’ll no longer despise
today the phoenix shall rise
