Lyrics

War Paint

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In the mirror super close, magnifies of diagnose

Seeing things I never saw before

Reformation to get clear, 'bout to take on that new frontier

Leave it here, don't need no souvenir

Decorate my skin

Some scars you just can't cover up

Here I am again

This time I just have had enough

I'm runnin' late, put on my war paint

Cause I'm getting ready for the combat

Get out my way, got on my war paint

Cause I'm getting ready for the combat

With each stroke I take, I put on my face

I make a mistake then I q-tip, erase

It's not that I'm fake, it's just my war paint, yeah

I'm getting ready for the combat

I'm goin' tribal

On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya

I'm goin' tribal

On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya

I've had my share of tragedies

Watching my mascara bleed

But I got some tricks way up my sleeve

Tip-toeing through the minefields

I'm so scared of how this feels

I'm so scared of how I feel

Decorate my skin

I decorate my face

Some scars you just can't cover up

Here I am again

This time I just have had enough

I'm runnin' late, put on my war paint

Cause I'm getting ready for the combat

Get out my way, got on my war paint

Cause I'm getting ready for the combat

I'm goin' tribal

On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya

I'm goin' tribal

On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya

I'm getting ready

I'm runnin' late, put on my war paint

Cause I'm getting ready for the combat

Get out my way, got on my war paint

Cause I'm getting ready for the combat

With each stroke I take, I put on my face

I make a mistake then I q-tip, erase

It's not that I'm fake, it's just my war paint, yeah

I'm getting ready for the combat

I'm gonna try boy

On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya

I'm gonna try boy

On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya
