Play Dead Lyrics by Cihtym

2021

Verse 1 -

Look at what i gained
I'm proving all along i was never what claimed
In a whole nother lane to alleviate the pain
Had to play dead to stay in the spot light of fame that remained
Afraid of the change
City boy in a country town don't mix well
It was safe just to wait
Until I made a couple fans all around my state
Even in the school I started way back in 1st grade
Didn't know the moves
I was knew to music what am I supposed to do
Hated speaking up yea wasn't in the mood

Hook -

Play dead, play dead
Stuck with what i hated making way less
Creative thoughts had to watch the train wreck
A million times cleaning up the same mess
Cause I'd x2
