[Verse 1:]
|
Looking in the mirror everyday I get older
|
Learn from the past everyday I get stronger
|
I like to get high, but it's great to be sober
|
Yesterday was hard, but it made me a soldier
|
You don't get nothing if you don't work hard
|
You can't earn stripes if you never had scars
|
There's way more to life then money and nice cars
|
You are who you are, you might be a bum
|
You could be a star, you might be a prisoner fighting behind bars
|
You trying to find peace, I'm a try to find God
|
You searching for your destiny we trying to find ours
|
The blood in my hearts pumping for the the right cause
|
And I get that same feeling when I hear that old Nas
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
You said the world was ours just gotta play your part
|
Shoot for the stars like you trying to hit Mars
|
Shine in the dark and I bet you'll never lose
|
Glanced in the mirror and I'd seen I had to the twos
|
Awake to my ways still I'd rather hit snooze
|
Can't fuck with the news let the channels flip through
|
Put us in a cage with the habitat dude
|
Try to break us down like we handicap fool
|
Fish out of water like we vandicamp dude
|
Nobody supposed to eat if the family can't move
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
And the family can't lose, as long as we got each other
|
As long as we are loyal, as long as we are brothers
|
I called my pops the other day to tell him that I love him
|
For giving me the opportunity to make it out the gutter
|
A lot of us was fortunate to even have a mother
|
A lot of us got intuition that we ain't discovered
|
A lot of us got fears that we need to overcome
|
We done seen too many tears fall underneath the sun
|
Don't wanna see no blood shed over the years to come
|
So we praying up to heaven hoping that he is the one
|
When times getting nearer, the skys getting clearer
|
You searching for the truth that God's in the mirror
|
Deep down inside pass the lies that you hearing
|
Open up your heart to the light and the spirit
|
Despite the appearance have courage and pride
|
It's survival of the fittest only for the wise and the fearless
|
Loves the emotion, vibe to the lyrics
|
Years down the line I'll probably cry when I hear this
|
Embrace who I am, never try to be different
|
Mama seen the king and my eyes is the infant
|
Started off small, little guy on the benches
|
Fighting so long I felt like I was in the trenches
|
Destined for greatness, divine intervention
|
Discover who you are the fine leap of mention
|
The mirror
