[Intro] I’m not gonna hide it (yeah, easy now) Not gonna hide it this time Even if it stings I’ll say it straight [Verse 1] Phone lights up, same old scene Different names, same routine Everybody’s got a line ’Bout the way I live my life Step outside, the air feels thin Quiet looks, it settles in They don’t speak but I can tell Every move’s a show to sell (breath) I’m done with it [Pre-Chorus] “Keep it down, don’t get involved” “Play it safe, don’t stand too tall” I’ve been there before I don’t want that anymore [Chorus] Hide it? I won’t (no, no) Even if it hurts, I’m saying it now Hide it? I won’t (say it) If I fall, I’ll figure it out Hide it? I won’t (turn it up) Every little piece of me in the sound Hide it? I won’t (yeah) If you hear me, I’m here now [Post-Chorus] Not gonna hide it (eh-eh) Not gonna hide it (no-no) Say it out loud, no fear Not gonna hide it [Verse 2] Spoke my truth, it cut too clean Now I’m cast in between They wanna shape what they don’t hear Talk it loud but never clear Tried to bottle what I hold Like it wouldn’t overflow But the weight I carry in Isn’t something I can dim (micro pause) Now it’s breaking out [Pre-Chorus] It’s not the same, I feel it grow Didn’t stop it, let it go If it cracks, let it show Better that than living low [Chorus] Hide it? I won’t (no, no) Even if it burns, I’m doing it now Hide it? I won’t (say it) If I fall, I’ll turn it around Hide it? I won’t (turn it up) Every side of me is out in the crowd Hide it? I won’t (yeah) If you hear me, I’m here now [Bridge] I felt it first, that was the weight They dressed it up like a mistake But it was never wrong (pause) That fire never left my chest Every doubt just fed my breath And if it’s louder now It’s ’cause it kept me strong [Final Chorus] Hide it? I won’t (not now) Never fit that quiet crowd Hide it? I won’t (say it) Every word coming out loud Hide it? I won’t (turn it up) Every part of me out in the open Hide it? I won’t (yeah) Still standing, still hoping (I won’t, I won’t) [Outro] I’m not gonna hide it (no-no) I’m not gonna hide it That’s just who I am
