Mirror Talk, Pt. 2

Remember that one song yo momma played back then and You been looking for it ever since You just wanna hear it again You just want it to play back You just wanna hear it one more time I’m looking in the mirror and I notice that I haven’t been myself (Been myself, been myself, been myself) I been trying but it feels like I cannot change myself (Change myself, change myself, change myself) No this ain’t the hook this is me looking in the mirror Wrote that song mirror talk when I was back in college few years later Still no beat from knowledge Still eating on some ramen a diamond in the dirt so of course it’s hard to find me In every course of course I was writing down rhyme back to back (Back to back, back to back) Like what are physics? What’s the math? Now I’m stuck tryna add and not subtract the dollars What’s a green lawn if the neighborhood dogs squat in it? Conversations with Sin he said that 88.8 was my best tape On sound I been tryna level up since Thanks to 7 foot and MC for them tickets in the VIP A few flights here and there an I changed where I lay my head at, oh yea Talks with my cousin bout god if I can be right in his eyes and still pursue this music here I know I can’t serve two masters And Spano just sent me the masters I’m looking in the mirror and I notice that I haven’t been myself (Been myself, been myself, been myself, oh really?) I been trying but it feels like I cannot change myself (Change myself, change myself, change myself) No this ain’t the hook this is me looking in the mirror word to Ye I wanna getaway I could use a miracle whip Was making minimum wage working the night shift got a taste got a glimpse But we still struggling (Still) Staykation released again I’m quarantined at the house my homie Say all he know how to do is to sell crack I know there not many Clipes and Jay’s in rap I want a Chevelle and a fleet wood lack, maybe a Gt-r and a bike to get away on But what am I thinking that’s more things I’ma have to pay on plus payola at an all-time high On top of that I think these A&Rs all high My grandparents in the sky pool full liquor I’ma drown wish I would fly Met a new bitch I just pray she don’t kill my vibe Pardon my French tsk, probably should stop cursing Me against myself why you don’t see names after BC verses 5 Songs 5 keys of knowledge that could build or destroy 16’s After 16’s till my wrist and elbows sore Crying is therapeutic and make my pen bleed way more An I may not say anything back trust I never ignored I’m looking in the mirror and I notice that I haven’t been myself (Been myself, been myself, been myself, oh really?) I been trying but it feels like I cannot change myself (Change myself, change myself, change myself) I only exist within these 3 minutes so I gotta get everything in these songs I say I only exist within these 27 minutes so gotta make sure I put everything in these songs everyone’s time may be different But you understand what I’m saying Once the song goes off, once the line goes flat Does it play back?
