[Verse 1] No parents, a roof as a house, but never a home. Can't have less, mental can't bounce, I'll deal as they come. [Verse 2] "Is there a way I can help, boy? you look really tired." Polite street seller, his products some toys, I left but should have lied. [Pre-chorus] Is the world really that cold of a place? (that cold of a place) People are referring to me directly to my face. (Oh, no-no-no) Were these tricks, was he lying? I can’t tell if I’m buying. (I can't tell, no, no) (Oh, no-no-no) Feels like I am trapped within, am I letting him get... (in)? [Chorus] Uh, uh, uh. Were these tricks? Uh, uh, uh. Was he lying? Uh, uh, uh. Am I buying? Uh, uh, am I letting him get in? [Verse 3] The man, he was there the next day, He asked if I was okay. I was just about to reply, instead ran so fast, won't lie. [Pre-chorus] Is the world really that cold of a place? (that cold of a place) (that cold of a place) People are referring to me directly to my face. (Oh, no, no-no-no) Were these tricks, was he lying? I can’t tell if I’m buying. (I can't tell, no, no) (Oh, no, no-no-no) Feels like I am trapped within, am I letting him get in? (Am I letting him?) [Chorus] Uh, uh, uh. Were these tricks? Uh, uh, uh. Was he lying? Uh, uh, uh. Am I buying? Uh, uh, am I letting him get in? [Bridge] Heard the sound of clapping hands, someone's near my roof, my land. I stood up and there he was, again the man from the past "What you want?" He heard me say, And again he asked if I was okay. I wasn't and I'm not, but he doesn't need to know. "I'm alright", then I respond, go ahead and leave me alone. [Pre-chorus] (Oh, no-no-no) Were these tricks, was he lying? I can’t tell if I’m buying. (I can't tell, no, no) Uh, uh. (Oh, no-no-no) Feels like I am trapped within, am I letting him get in? (Am I letting him?) [Chorus] Uh, uh, uh. Were these tricks? Uh, uh, uh. Was he lying? Uh, uh, uh. Am I buying? Uh, uh, am I letting him get in? (Am I letting him?) [Pre-chorus] (Oh, no-no-no) Were these tricks, was he lying? I can’t tell if I’m buying. (I can't tell, no, no) (Oh, no-no-no) Feels like I am trapped within, am I letting him get in? (Am I letting him?) [Chorus] Uh, uh, uh. Were these tricks? Uh, uh, uh. Was he lying? Uh, uh, uh. Am I buying? Uh, uh, am I letting him get in? [Outro] I need to know, the way he speaks, is he stepping low? Were these tricks?
