Reflection

[00:09.58] Hey, how is it going?
[00:10.30] What's up man?
[00:13.08] Put a mirror in a nigga face and he'll run
[00:16.28] Tell him that you love him, he may pull out his gun
[00:19.45] Look just like me even down to the guap
[00:21.84] Noticed the difference probably soon as we talk
[00:24.19] I do not politic with the fools
[00:26.94] Counterfeit systems, I'm more than kind of bending the rules
[00:30.01] Donavan Mitchell, I'm definitely finna talk all this jazz
[00:33.09] Constantly victim, I'm more than kind of hip to the blues
[00:36.35] That's why I can give a shit 'bout the news
[00:38.62] Excel despite we consciously victim
[00:40.32] These niggas like to strip us of truth
[00:42.54] Large contradictions, I'm 6'5" tryna fit in the coupe
[00:45.98] Large contributions to culture and somewhere someone sitting in cubes didn't approve?
[00:51.04] No ice cubes in my Riesling and you should know that
[00:54.18] Wash the chicken before you season it, you should know that
[00:56.84] That's a metaphor, my nigga please don't get caught off the Prozac out here nodding off
[01:01.64] I'm out here getting to these visions I was plotting on
[01:04.99] I window-shopped it then I copped it now I got it on
[01:08.09] And I know everything that came before that dotted line these days
[01:12.96] Held a mirror to my face (who you think you talking to huh?)
[01:17.45] I didn't run away
[01:18.41] I ran in place
[01:22.93] Put a mirror in a nigga face and he'll run
[01:26.06] Tell him that you love him, he gon' pull out his gun
[01:29.25] Look just like me even down to the walk
[01:31.95] Noticed the difference prolly soon as we talk
[01:34.20] We only talk about ball
[01:35.86] We only talk once a year, not even that, I don't call
[01:38.90] I haven't called in like three
[01:40.59] He's 6'2" I'm 6'5", he used to make me feel small
[01:44.06] I used to think he was strong now I know he just weak
[01:46.98] Got me climbing a mountain it's all cliffs and no peaks
[01:50.27] I was slide, hydroplaning, it's all drifts and no grip
[01:53.22] It's all good, don't trip
[01:54.82] I used say that with tears
[01:56.67] He only heard with his ears
[01:58.06] We speak with more than our lips
[01:59.64] My shoulders Pringle, no chips
[02:01.16] I ain't gon' make it, nuff said
[02:02.71] One day I didn't get upset
[02:04.26] Some shit just is what it is
[02:06.18] I put that shit on my kids though, I can not go out the same
[02:09.06] That carpal tunnel my wrist, I'm way too deep with the script
[02:12.15] It's paralyzing in fact
[02:13.93] The analyzing the facts
[02:15.84] Calculating the trauma to iterate it on wax
[02:18.40] Fam, if it wasn't for rap
[02:20.28] This shit a mirror of sorts, got me seeing myself
[02:23.44] See niggas see they reflection and get to peeing themselves
[02:26.89] Them untethered connections ain't really freeing at all
[02:30.03] Cold shoulders I just pray I get to see them shits thaw
[02:33.28] Bulldozin' through the haze that's why it's coming so raw
[02:36.41] And I ain't sorry at all
[02:39.26] Put a mirror in a nigga face and he'll run
[02:42.46] Tell him that you love him, he may pull out his gun
[02:45.66] Look just like me even down to the walk
[02:48.22] Noticed the difference probably soon as we talk
[02:50.44]
[03:07.45] I remember him, Fact
[03:11.23] Hey, hey, you guys talk to Becker yet?
[03:13.62] Yeah, I meet him
[03:15.54] I remember Fact with brother Dennis, they used to coming here right
[03:18.40] And slide a couple bottled of Gin and Coca
[03:21.10] And then walk right out
[03:22.41] One day, right, Mr. Lemon right, he stood me all day up like I'm nine, 10 years old
[03:27.92] I walked up to my door
[03:28.83] I go, I go, "Mr. Kurt, Mr. Dennis"
[03:32.69] I say, "Mr. Lemon I want to talk to you about them balls at Jin Joe bro"
[03:37.18] Hey, you look amigo
[03:38.57] Who do you think you talking to, huh?
[03:40.25] You're less black as mine, get-get your ass of this corner
[03:42.60]
