Mirror Talk

You know, in life, people can see a good thing and judge you for going through things that
make your story not look like what they think you should look like
Now let me talk

This is the story of an only child, who grew up in a world full of people
Still a lonely child
Well known in any room that he walks through
Kinda shy, the voices in his head is who he talks to
They say his mama made of gold, solid
She walked a clean path, but he got ripped by thorns when he tried to frolic
Tried to stay positive
Going through all kinds of shit
Life throwing challenges, it's safe to say he dodging it
Clarity and common sense, erasing the apocalypse
Holding on for life like he a baby on his mama's hip
Understanding life is understanding what you're gonna get
When you start breaking curses, and stop breaking all these promises
When the truth hurts, he paint it as hypocritical
Then make his own truth, thinking he the one they should listen to
Ten toes down and he ain't really understanding that
Sometimes what you stand for can keep you where you standing at

Nigga
Calm down, nigga
That's what they tell him
Calm down, nigga
And you ain't where you wanna be in life, man
Just look around, nigga
Just look around, nigga
They say he look at the mirror and the mirror looks back
And when he talk to the mirror, man, the mirror talk back

A problem child that they never knew was problematic
Hid depression like abortion, they never knew that he had it
Covered up in accomplishments, soul searching for trouble
He'll deal with the punishment
Time on earth is a garnishment
Working til it's paid off
Can't afford a fix, cause everything that he crave costs
And they finally figured out
So the people asking questions now
The questions that they ask is what is there to be depressed about
How dare they
They wanna act concerned, but deep down they don't care
They wanna know what it takes to make it burn, then offer a band-aid
Man
Cause they don't wanna see him healed
They just wanna see him hurt
True or not, that's how he feel
Now he think that he deserve it
And you can tell this nigga hurtin
Imagine living for the purpose of finding you have no purpose
Now tell me who deserve that
Man

And they tell him calm down nigga
I swear they tell him calm down nigga
And you don't like where you at in the world man
Just look around nigga
Just look around nigga
They say he stare at the mirror and the mirror stare back
And when he talk to the mirror man the mirror talk back
Well let it speak
