Reflection

Verse Lately I’ve been feeling like a hypocrite I’m an inspirational rapper, but I’m feeling like I want to quit It makes me sick But honestly school is getting the best of me I face a lot of pressure and think it will be the death of me I’ve got a billion and five assignments to do every day High school’s in the past, now college is on the way Plus I’ve got a bunch of after school activities My peace is a magnet. Stress is attracted to me I’ve got to be the best at everything That’s hard when I am doing homework when I should be sleeping I get upset and decide to do some grieving Excuses start entering. Inspiration starts leaving My duty is to lead people to joy in Christ I’m not always the best at that I do experience happiness in my life But sometimes negativity steals my bliss in a heist Chorus I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself Feel like I’m nothing but a failure. I can’t find my wealth I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself Why do I do this? I feel like I’m stupid I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself I feel like I’m nothing but a failure. I can’t find my wealth I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself Why do I do this? I feel like I’m stupid Verse Sometimes I think I’ve reached a dead end How am I supposed to inspire the world when I can’t uplift my best friends Some struggle with doubts. Some struggle with depression They don’t want to look to Christ to help them with the mess that they’re in While I spend my days composing these songs One of my friends struggles not to put a blade to her arm I talk to her on the phone to distract her and calm her down But she’s convinced she has no purpose and walks through life with a frown What’s even worse is I hardly speak to my mom I go weeks without visiting her knowing that I’m wrong Because she often reminds me she could die any day In thirty years, will I have more regrets than good memories It’s my job to show them His love, right I guess I’m failing there, I keep messing up I’m trying to be an example of God’s light Too bad all the people closest to me see is a dark night Chorus I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself I feel like I’m nothing but a failure. I can’t find my wealth I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself Why do I do this? I feel like I’m stupid I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself I feel like I’m nothing but a failure. I can’t find my wealth I look at my reflection and I’m mad at myself Why do I do this? I feel like I’m stupid Verse Yeah I’ve made mistakes, but I can move past them We all fall short of His glory. But why be sad when He gives us second chances every day Though we abuse ‘em I quit somethin’ I’ll never say Won’t give Satan amusement I won’t be able to solve my friends’ problems Because I ain’t God That should not be shockin’ But I know how to make the pain stop Toss your burdens on Him They weigh you down like eight rocks The price of sin He bought when He was crucified on a cross God is the Truth We must live out His word We will battle hard times And days sadder than Squidward Don’t let that disturb Your faith in Christ Give Him the praises that He deserves You’re something He won’t desert My woe is me days are in the rear To my loved ones, please forgive me The time Jesus will return is near And when He does, He will wipe away every tear Chorus I look at my reflection, I ain’t mad at myself Even though sometimes I fail through Him I find my wealth I look at my reflection, I ain’t mad at myself I know I’ll get through this. God help me get through this
