Mirror

Mirrors on the wall, here we are again Through my rise and fall You've been my only friend You told me that they can understand the man I am So why are we here talkin' to each other again? Look at them, such a counterfeit and then I think that it's all pretend I hope that this fails again That there's your grin, look at them Acting like the best of friends I don't think they have it in 'em I don't think they can make a hit again Look at how, he just copies people's styles He will never make it out the basement He should give up now Look at wow, look at how He must think he's cool because the people found How bad his music's, he just listens now Such a clown, bring him down Break his ground, try to make him hit the ground Space between us makes the meanest speakers If they figured out, talkin' 'bout Let's talk about anything we can't point out Even now, even when I listen he's just talking loud Talkin' proud, did I mention he was Mr. College Bound? On the ropes, hard to cope Now they whisper he dropped out Look at, hey, why don't you get fazed by all these things I say? Sorry friend, I've been busy working on my problems and the Mirrors on the wall, here we are again Through my rise and fall You've been my only friend You told me that they can understand the man I am So why are we here talkin' to each other again?

And the thoughts that are new I see, circle me That I had to sell my seed if I wanna be a taken as a great M.C. But the standard scene on the screen of an MTV I remember sitting by myself And falling down on my face And saying, "Dear God I would do anything now to get up, out of this dark place" And then I'll take a pen to a page And write 'til the song will break And I don't care what you say I know for a fact that I was given amazing grace And I know for a fact that I wouldn't want be that What you wanna see, not my purpose 'Cause I'ma take the road less traveled Anything different and I will say not worth it And I don't care who you compare me to Long as you're not attched to the one that you make me And we never shared tough times, for the hate from you cowards doesn't faze me He rapped the college triller My future's lookin' clearer Despite my failures, I can stand a day strong as a pillar I couldn't spit more realer Sorry if I don't hear ya Why, you love me or hate me I'll be paintin' pictures in the Mirror on the wall, here we are again Through my rise and fall You've been my only friend You told me that they can understand the man I am So why are we talkin' to each other again?
