Man In The Mirror Lyrics

[00:03.03] Uh
[00:04.89] (High Honors)
[00:07.98] You know, being a man, you gotta learn how to provide
[00:12.27] Be proud of the nigga you are, you know?
[00:14.95] I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
[00:18.40] I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
[00:21.93] Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon' go get it
[00:25.14] It ain't nothin' I'm fearin', I gotta provide the right life for my children
[00:28.36] Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
[00:32.49] I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
[00:36.09] Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon' go get it
[00:39.50] It ain't nothin' I'm fearin', I gotta provide the right life for my children
[00:43.29] I done got money and thought that my problems would all disappear (thought they would vanish)
[00:46.66] It take a nigga his whole life to do shit I did in a year (one year)
[00:50.04] I do it for Daisha, I do it for Nyla, I do it for Mir (for Mir)
[00:53.59] I do it for Kacy, and Kyrie, and Kobe, they know that I'm near (they know that I'm here)
[00:57.09] The time that it took me to get where I'm at, niggas couldn't compare (never)
[01:00.83] I think of Jabari, I think about Jay and I gotta be there (gotta be right here)
[01:03.60] I know the influence, I got it inspired and walked out the fire (fire)
[01:06.56] So much around me, not hard to think that I supply it
[01:08.59] Whatever you want, you can buy it (cop up)
[01:10.07] It done got hard to deny it
[01:11.79] Got one of them souls, they never could buy it (not mine)
[01:13.34] You played with your nose, I never could try it
[01:15.20] But you can come cop it if it's in your diet (white)
[01:16.91] You know, I smell like I came out the dryer (fresh)
[01:18.99] Don't mind my name, shit, I got some priors (priors)
[01:20.52] Standin' on base, umpire (umpire)
[01:21.83] Smoke it right here if you feel that he got on a wire (yo, light that up)
[01:24.80] Bring, bring them trill niggas to your hood and set your shit down (uh)
[01:28.53] Set your-, set your shit down
[01:30.35] Down-down-down, down (uh)
[01:31.90] Bring, bring them trill niggas to your hood and set your shit down
[01:35.72] Set your-, set your shit down
[01:37.42] Down-down-down, down
[01:39.55] I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
[01:42.92] I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
[01:46.56] Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon' go get it
[01:49.90] It ain't nothin' I'm fearin', I gotta provide the right life for my children
[01:53.39] Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
[01:57.25] I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
[02:00.78] Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon' go get it
[02:04.09] It ain't nothin' I'm fearin', I gotta provide the right life for my children (boy, boy, ayy)
[02:07.65] I'm goin' to war, it's on, the chosen one, I'm pullin' the sword out the stone
[02:11.34] Providin' the life, but I can't always be there to see it with you, so my heart always torn
[02:14.65] Cut from a different cloth, and it's the same one that keep the family warm
[02:18.34] And every time I see you smile, it's like a crack of sunshine in a crazy storm (God)
[02:22.04] If it's us against the world, everybody gettin' buried
[02:24.38] Everywhere you step gon' be a cemetery
[02:26.04] And it's angels 'round us for pulmonarys
[02:27.91] Plus, cash rules everything around me, so they see us like we Ben & Jerry (what?)
[02:31.37] Try and catch you sleepin', but I taught you five P's
[02:33.22] Poor performance gets prevented by the proper preparation
[02:36.02] Long as I'm here, we havin' (havin')
[02:37.84] We seein' dubs everywhere we go like we Raekwon, ODB, Ghostface
[02:41.47] And you know it's methods to the madness
[02:43.17] Hardhead, I ain't gettin' padded
[02:44.79] From here on out, I'm going John Madden
[02:46.68] Giving game every year, but it's still fuck the system, know I put it on the album
[02:50.32] I really think I'm goin' ghost status (yeah)
[02:51.82] I really think I'm matchin' my potential
[02:53.39] From the product of me just finally lockin' in and droppin' old habits (boy, whoa, whoa, whoa)
[02:57.38] Do this for the crib, you know where to find me (you know where to find me)
[02:59.71] Doin' this here for Noah Hasani, his sister, his mommy, and all of his aunties
[03:02.90] They always can count on me, I swear
[03:04.96] Bring, bring them trill niggas to your hood and set your shit down, yeah
[03:07.84] Set your-, set your shit down
[03:09.07] Down-down-down, down (Sean Don, man)
[03:11.22] Bring, bring them trill niggas to your hood and set your shit down (yeah)
[03:14.36] Set your-, set your shit down (shoutout my dog, East)
[03:16.25] Down-down-down, down (yup, ayy)
[03:18.59] I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
[03:21.88] I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer (yeah)
[03:25.46] Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon' go get it (go get it, yeah)
[03:28.97] It ain't nothin' I'm fearin', I gotta provide the right life for my children (God)
[03:32.17] Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror (for real)
[03:36.13] I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
[03:39.62] Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon' go get it
[03:42.95] It ain't nothin' I'm fearin', I gotta provide the right life for my children
[03:46.65] Ayy, man in the mirror
[03:50.08] I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
[03:53.45] Yeah
[03:56.20] Go get it, yeah
[03:59.83] God
[04:02.29] Man in the mirror, for real
[04:04.93] (Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon' go get it)
[04:07.49]
