The Mask
The Fugees

Have you ever worn the mask one-two one-two

M to the A to the S to the K

Put the mask upon the face just to make the next day

Feds be hawkin me

Jokers be stalking me

I walk the streets and camouflage my identity

My posse in the Brooklyn wear the mask

My crew in the Jersey wear the mask

Stick up kids doing boogie woogie wear the mask

Yeah everybody wear the mask but how long will it last

I used to work at Burger King. A king taking orders

Punching my clock. Now I'm wanted by the manager

Soupin me up sayin You're a good worker,

How would you like a quarter raise, move up the register

Large in charge, but cha gotta be my spy

Come back and tell me who's baggin my fries

Getting high on company time.

Hell no sirree, wrong M.C

Why should I be a spy, when you spying me

And you see whatcha thought ya saw but never seen

Ya missed ya last move, Checkmate! Crown me King

Pulled my 22 pistol whipped him in his face

Hired now I'm fired, sold bud now I'm wired

Eyes pitch red but da beat bop my head

Hit the streets for relief, I bumped into the Feds

I got kidnapped they took me to D.C.

Have me working underground building missiles for World War III

M to the A to the S to the K

Put the mask up on the face just to make the next day

Brothers be gaming, Ladies be claiming

I walk the streets and camouflage my identity

My posse Uptown wear the mask

My crew in the Queens wear the mask

Stick up kids with the Tommy Hil wear the mask

Yeah everbody wear the mask but how long will it last

I thought he was the wonder, and I was stunned by his lips

Taking sips of an Amaretto sour with a twist

Shook my hips to the bass line, this joker grabbed my waistline

Putting pressure on my spine trying to get L-Boog to wind

I backed up off him then caught him with five finger to his face

I had to put him in his place

This kids invading my space

But then I recognized the smile, but I couldn't place the style

So many fronts in his mouth, I thought he was the Golden Child

Then it hit me that's Tariq from off the street around my Grams

I haven't seeen him since fifteen, when he got booked for doing scams

I tried to walk away but he wouldn't let me leave

He ran up quick behind me asking, Yo what happened to my nigga Steve?

Steve was like this kid I went with back in Grammar School

I chuckled knucklehead I seen him yesterday he's cool

He's busted, so who you checking for now?

Probably some intellectual

I kept the conversation straight and he kept trying to make it sexual

Then his old lady tried to play me waved her hands up in my face

Yo I told her check your man cause Bitch you acting out of place

M to the A to the S to the K

Put the mask upon me face just to make the next day

Brothers be frontin', then they be runnin'

I walk the street and camouflage my identity

My posse in the Bronx wear the mask

My crew on the Isle wear the mask

Stick up kids rollin' in the Omni wear the mask

Yeah everbody wear the mask but how long will it last?

3 A.M. in the morning on the Boulevard

I'm still at large engaged with my entourage

Me and Godfather and a 67 Dodge

I stepped out the note to post up my guard

Searching for my car that was stolen from Scotland Yard

My first instinct was to check the chop shop garage

As I rung the bell someone tapped me on my back

I turned around to look it was a rookie in a mask

He said, I got a itchin' on my trigger

Don't move nigga I'm taking you for murder.

See cops got two faces like two laces on my Reeboks

My knees knock as I step back for a clearer shot

Well did you shoot him? Naw kid I didn't have the balls

That's when I realized I'm pumpin' too much Biggie Smalls

M to the A to the S to the K

Put the mask pon me face just to make the next day

Brothers be beefin', cops be thiefin'

Brothers be schemin', and should be teamin'

Jokers be smokin', and staying broke n

Bitches be teasin', and money skeezin'

Niggas be creapin', baby mothers be weepin'

I walk the streets and camouflage my identity

My posse in the Haiti wear the mask

My crew in Jamaica wear the mask

Stick up kids bumping Fugee-La wear the mask

Yeah everybody wear the mask but how long will it last?
