Lyrics
(Intro)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lookin’ in the mirror, tryna see it clearer
Who am I, really? Let’s go...
(Verse 1)
Uh, I been fightin’ with my demons, they disguised as my homies,
Got the city on my back, but it’s feelin’ so lonely.
Pride's heavy, heart colder than the bottom of the block,
Where they killin’ for a dollar and a prayer gets lost.
Mama told me watch my spirit, don’t get caught in the lust,
But I was runnin’ from the truth, thinkin’ life was just us.
We was raised on the concrete, lessons in the blood,
Baptized in the flames, but we numb to the love.
I seen homies chase the fast lane, crash in the dust,
Now they names up on the wall, but the memories rust.
I’m tryna elevate, meditate, vision ain’t enough,
When the system got its foot on our necks, keepin' us stuck.
(Hook)
Lookin’ in the mirror, I see the pain, see the fear,
But I also see a king that’s been fightin' for years.
Tell me what you see, when the smoke disappears,
Is it diamonds in the dirt or reflections of tears?
