Light Shining Through Mirrors

Light Living on an island On land, tensions get tightened The light shining Mirrors crack at the sound Fear in the eyes of a boxer, upheaval heightened The right timing Put the other bitch in the ground Then he gets the money No crummy, he's living good He can buy another car And move to another hood The ladies want him And the fellas want his fame His wife chimed"It's getting to your head" He don't feel the same So she leaves But he don't give a f*ck 'cuz of what he achieved She thinks she's out of luck because she feels aggrieved But the win he receives The accolades keep piling in Thick as thieves He goes on about his drive (Light shining through 'em) Every other night He's takin part in fuckin' fight (Light shining through 'em) But with every punch he's thinking of his wife (Light, light, shining through 'em) How can he survive the fight While she can't survive his life? (Light shining through 'em) He calls her every other day Putting post-it's on the walls to maintain something to say And then she answers"Listen honey, I'm glad you feel accomplished But let's not forget, that this shit I admonished It tarnished our relationship" He says"I thought of you when I won" Didn't hear a single thing she said She hangs up the phone The line goes red Next week in a fight the man ends up And at the funeral she grieves On his casket are his jacket Hung around his neck are his gloves He got buried with the things that he loved His wife not in the casket She can never look past it He never let her know Guess it was out of fear When his career shined clear That fucker had steered up out of here She calls his line every other day
