The Mirror

[Verse 1:]Looking in the mirror everyday I get olderLearn from the past everyday I get strongerI like to get high, but it's great to be soberYesterday was hard, but it made me a soldierYou don't get nothing if you don't work hardYou can't earn stripes if you never had scarsThere's way more to life then money and nice carsYou are who you are, you might be a bumYou could be a star, you might be a prisoner fighting behind barsYou trying to find peace, I'm a try to find GodYou searching for your destiny we trying to find oursThe blood in my hearts pumping for the the right causeAnd I get that same feeling when I hear that old Nas[Verse 2:]You said the world was ours just gotta play your partShoot for the stars like you trying to hit MarsShine in the dark and I bet you'll never loseGlanced in the mirror and I'd seen I had to the twosAwake to my ways still I'd rather hit snoozeCan't fuck with the news let the channels flip throughPut us in a cage with the habitat dudeTry to break us down like we handicap foolFish out of water like we vandicamp dudeNobody supposed to eat if the family can't move[Verse 3:]And the family can't lose, as long as we got each otherAs long as we are loyal, as long as we are brothersI called my pops the other day to tell him that I love himFor giving me the opportunity to make it out the gutterA lot of us was fortunate to even have a motherA lot of us got intuition that we ain't discoveredA lot of us got fears that we need to overcomeWe done seen too many tears fall underneath the sunDon't wanna see no blood shed over the years to comeSo we praying up to heaven hoping that he is the oneWhen times getting nearer, the skys getting clearerYou searching for the truth that God's in the mirrorDeep down inside pass the lies that you hearingOpen up your heart to the light and the spiritDespite the appearance have courage and prideIt's survival of the fittest only for the wise and the fearlessLoves the emotion, vibe to the lyricsYears down the line I'll probably cry when I hear thisEmbrace who I am, never try to be differentMama seen the king and my eyes is the infantStarted off small, little guy on the benchesFighting so long I felt like I was in the trenchesDestined for greatness, divine interventionDiscover who you are the fine leap of mentionThe mirrorThe mirror
