Man In the Mirror
I'm fighting this pain in my heart
Spitting the flame in the art
Finding myself in the dark
Hoodie on in a park
Waiting for the next civilian
Don't got love for children
I'm trouble minded
(These demons got me blinded)
I can't figure it up
These thoughts I can't hide them
I can't fight them
But I'm a find them Looking at
The man in the mirror you right behind me
With the same reflection as me
(So don't surprise me)
You only as sick as your secrets
That's how the street get this deep shit
All aboard, my flow will leave you seasick
Peep this
Ego tripping, you can't defeat this
I'm on the red team
You can hear the screams from the bleachers
I'm trapped in a tunnel of
Violence where the sirens
Play on my block like diabolical violins
You can hear the lost souls
Screaming on Rikers Island
Cell to cell, you can hear them
(tremble in hell) i'm a rebel as well
In this treacherous world
With pimps that turn nuns
Into venturous girls
I blame it on my pop's semen
These demons got me in
A chain snatching spree
(Don't let me catch you leavin')
It's messed up the way I was born
Now my mental is torn
Trying to survive this perfect storm
Even my notepad's getting blurry so blurry
Visions of being alive in a coffin buried
Angel on my right shoulder, Devil on the left
To the niggas that got shot, ran outta breath
Lost so much blood and collapsed on the
Steps of the lobby in the projects
(getting closer to death) it's a hobby
Do robberies when your pocket full of lint
Can't get a job
Don't want to join the army
I wanna cut my wrists
Suicidal thoughts got me seeing gun
Smoke in the fog
So I walk these streets of New York
Shattered glass on the floor
From the mirror that I broke in the room
So God just forgive me, for all of my sins
And maybe one day you'll let me
Do this all over again
