lirik lagu nico roberts - what an actual world is?
[intro]
yeah…
it’s not always what you see, it’s what you don’t
truth ain’t convenient… it’s convictin’
listen close
[verse 1]
walked out the hotel, hoodie up, mind heavy
wasn’t tryna talk, world feelin’ too deadly
man on the corner asked, “you believe in light?”
i shrugged like, “maybe, but only when it’s night.”
he said, “the moon still reflects even when it’s bruised,”
and i paused — felt like he saw the truth i refuse
said he was blind, but he still sees fate
“eyes closed, i watch peoplе fabricate hate.”
i laughed — “you must bе a prophet or just mad high.”
he said, “you rap, but don’t act like you never cried.”
“your pen bleeds, but you numb to what it costs,”
“and you beg for peace, while throwin’ lines full of loss.”
i told him, “look, man, i got fame, fans, fear, flaws,”
“don’t lecture me ’less you walk through my wars.”
he smiled like god had whispered in his ear
said, “i have… just not in your shoes, my dear.”
“you rich, but bankrupt where it counts.”
“you climb, but never check the weight of your bounce.”
you rap ‘bout pain, but who you help with it?”
i stood stunned. voice crackin’, feelin’ counterfeit
[chorus]
what an actual world is… ain’t what you claim
it’s the silence between shots, it’s the guilt and the shame
not the car, not the gold, not the red carpet fame…
it’s a mirror with no frame
yeah, a mirror with no frame
[verse 2]
i sat with him, shared a swig from my flask
he said, “i used to write too… ’til the liquor unmasked.”
“had a girl, lost her to the pills and the pace
now every verse i hear reminds me of her face.”
i said, “life don’t come with no template or tape,”
“we all tryna paint hope with a brush full of hate.”
he said, “then why lie about the world in your tracks?”
“you talk kings and thrones — but ignore all the cracks.”
“ever wonder why your soul still feel hollow?”
“why your brother’s death echo every time you swallow?”
i froze — he ain’t know me, but he hit that nerve
like he read the pages i ain’t had the courage to serve
“your album sold, but who did it save?”
“you post free thoughts, still mentally caged.”
then he whispered, “one day, god gon’ speak direct
and when he do… it won’t be through a check.”
[chorus]
what an actual world is… it’s what you hide
it’s the text you never sent, it’s the nights you lied
not the chains, not the deals, not the sold~out rides…
it’s the pain you don’t confide
yeah, it’s the pain you don’t confide
[verse 3]
few days later, i returned to that street
same hoodie, same path, shoes draggin’ my feet
looked for the man, nowhere to be seen
just a folded note taped to a cracked machine
it read:
“to the voice i once heard on repeat,”
“you made it out, but still incomplete.”
“you rap the skies but forgot the rain,”
“your world’s full of trophies but dripping with shame.”
“don’t confuse noise with wisdom or the mic with prayer,”
“don’t sell faith just ’cause the devil pays fair.”
“and when you perform in the lights that blind,”
“remember: a real crown don’t shine, it reminds.”
“you judged me quick, thought i was some ghost,”
“but i was the one who gifted your voice.”
“i whispered your pen to life, birthed every beat,”
“and watched you fake peace in every tweet.”
“i was the old man, the questions, the stare,”
“the one that said truth and you didn’t care.”
“i was the test you thought you passed,”
“but your soul kept racing while your fame outlasted.”
my hands shook — that note felt alive
like it pulsed in my palm and burned inside
it wasn’t a stranger who stopped me that day…
it was god himself, in human display
the one i mocked. the one i ignored
the one who gave me everything i never thanked him for
i fell to my knees, hoodie soaking in tears
and for once in years, i actually heard
[chorus]
what an actual world is… is what he shows
it’s the man you denied when your ego rose
it’s the test you failed with your heart so closed…
it’s god in clothes
yeah… it’s god in clothes
