Curtain Call Lyrics by Ruby Ibarra

CIRCA91

2017

[Verse 1]
Check this South East, mouthpiece, hit ‘em with that loud speech
Funny that they doubt me, muthafukka crown me!
I’ll be rowdy, what you know about me?
Fuck all of that formulaic image that they tout me!
Act out, lash out, here to take the fast route
Brown out, I spazz out, then do it till I pass out
No cutout, or layout, ‘cause Ima get that phased out
My face out, my fist proud, so can you taste my name now?
The hell that I raise now, I break out my place now
No fakin’ my face now, I'm takin’ my name now
They greyed out, they gave doubt
The pigs out, no bail out
They made graves, but gave out
A false hope, we pray ‘bout
This country of dreams, but weaved in the seams
A system that feeds
On people that’s seen oppression, that means, a pyramid scheme
What’s in it for me? We searchin' for cream
In love with the green
American dream, a fantasy theme, they runnin’ supreme
Your back to the wall, your knees to the cracks
Can’t breathe when you lack the freedom, with that
They stab in the front ‘til you bleed in the back
They point and attack, ‘til you crack and that’s that
Eat up the facts, they feeding you, that’s
A key to the hack when they need you to act
In a way so they keep you believing you lack
Any sense of yourself ‘til you don’t get it back

[Bridge]
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh

[Hook]
‘Cause when its curtain call
Who’s the person after all?
When the truth all start to fall
Will you rise or will you fall?
Systems that be standin' tall

All the powerful involved
They been hopin' that you fall
Will you rise or will you fall?
Tell me when its curtain call

[Bridge]
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh

[Verse 2]
‘Cause when it’s curtain call, will they all give you applause?
For playin’ the part they called you to be, you lose it all
Hopin’ that you don’t evolve, ‘cause they know that’s the pitfall
Are you in it for the haul? Play a role and be involved
Did you follow protocol? Like they wanted you to brawl
Bloody knuckles ‘til you fall, curtains drawn ‘til you withdraw
Everything about you, nah, you don’t recognize at all
Person that you were, that’s all, this is when it’s curtain call
This is when it’s curtain call

[Hook]
‘Cause when its curtain call
Who’s the person after all?
When the truth all start to fall
Will you rise or will you fall?
Systems that be standin' tall

All the powerful involved
They been hopin' that you fall
Will you rise or will you fall?
Tell me when its curtain call

[Bridge]
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh
Oh oh, when it’s curtain call oh, oh

[Outro]
‘Cause when the show ends and it’s curtain call
You die, you die
‘Cause when the show ends and it’s curtain call
You die, you die
‘Cause when the show ends and it’s curtain call
You die, you die
‘Cause when the show ends and it’s curtain call
You die, you die
