Matryoshka(Global Poetry Rap Ver.)
【Intro】
A mask?
That’s too easy
You think one layer explains a person?
…nah
________________________________________
【Verse 1】
You call it a mask — like it’s something you wear
Like you could take it off and suddenly be “there”
But people don’t end at the face they present
It leaks in the way that they walk and they bend
In pauses, in posture, in how they avoid
In things they don’t say but can’t quite destroy
The body speaks first — before words even start
You’re reading the surface, I’m reading the parts
________________________________________
【Flow Shift】
No — listen
You’re not a mask
You’re a matryoshka
________________________________________
【Verse 2】
Layer in layer, it never just stops
You open one truth — another one drops
Kindness and strategy tangled as one
Fear underneath what you thought was “the core”
Which one is real?
All of them are
You can’t cut a person and call it a part
And say “this is truth” — like you finished the chart
That’s just a comfort, a need to define
A clean little answer to something not kind
________________________________________
【Verse 3】
We look at the face — it’s the fastest way
Quick estimation, no time to stay
So we made up “masks” to make sense of the mess
A story that lets us believe we can guess
But if it were true — if a mask was the end
You’d take it off once and finally transcend
But every time you peel something away
There’s more underneath — it just won’t stay
________________________________________
【Break】
You touched me?
No — you didn’t
You knew me?
No — you didn’t
________________________________________
【Verse 4】
Still…
I want to be known
Not all at once
Not fully exposed
Just one layer — honestly seen
If that’s real, then it already means
Everything else doesn’t have to be shown
A fragment can carry the weight of the whole
We’re unfinished beings — constantly in motion
Half-built identities, stitched by emotion
________________________________________
【Hook】
Matryoshka, matryoshka
Peel it back — still more to show
Matryoshka, matryoshka
Where you end — I’ll never know
Matryoshka, matryoshka
Every layer feels like truth
Matryoshka, matryoshka
Still I’m reaching out to you
