**[INTRO — female, quiet]** Maybe I should keep my mouth shut... Maybe I should think before I speak... Nah. You wanted the truth. **[VERSE 1 — male rap, confident]** You ask me what I think, then you tell me I'm too honest, You wanted my opinion, now you're acting like you lost it. Don't ask me for the truth if you only want a compliment, I'm not gonna dress it up just to make you more comfortable with it. I used to bite my tongue, keep my thoughts behind my teeth, Nod along with everybody, say whatever they believed. But I'm tired of pretending that I don't know what I know, If you wanna hear the truth, then I'm gonna let it show. No filter, no cover, no sugar on the side, I'm done editing myself just to keep everybody fine. You can like me, you can hate me, you can walk the other way, But I'm not changing what I mean just because you don't like what I say. **[PRE-CHORUS — female, building]** I don't wanna fake it, I don't wanna hide, If you really wanna know me, Then look me in the eyes. **[CHORUS — female, powerful]** No filter, no filter, I'm saying what I mean. No filter, no filter, You're getting what you see. I don't need to change my words To make you stay with me. If you want the real thing— This is me. **[VERSE 2 — male rap, faster]** I could tell you what you wanna hear, I could make it sound polite, I could carefully construct a lie And send you home feeling alright. But what's the point of talking If I'm scared of what I'll say? What's the point of being honest If I edit every phrase? So here's the part where I stop Trying to calculate reactions, Stop rewriting every sentence Before I ever take the action. If I stumble, then I stumble. If I'm wrong, then I'll admit it. But I'd rather speak imperfectly Than spend my whole life timid. **[CHORUS — female, bigger]** No filter, no filter, I'm saying what I mean. No filter, no filter, You're getting what you see. I don't need to change my words To make you stay with me. If you want the real thing— This is me. **[BRIDGE — female, stripped back]** Maybe you'll misunderstand me, Maybe you'll walk away. Maybe you'll remember every word I shouldn't have said. But at least when you remember me, You'll know I wasn't pretending. **[RAP BREAKDOWN — male, rapid and rhythmic]** No filter, no editing, No second-guessing everything, No rewriting what I said 'Cause somebody might get offended. No pretending I'm somebody That I'm clearly not becoming. If you want the truth, I'll give it— If you don't, then keep on running. **[FINAL CHORUS — both]** **[Female]** No filter, no filter, I'm saying what I mean— **[Male]** No filter, no filter, You get exactly what you see— **[Female]** I don't need to change my words— **[Both]** I don't need you to agree. **[OUTRO — female, confident]** No filter. No pretending. No apologies. This is me.
