lyrics

Chorus:
[Mad V] I'm looking in the mirror, the mirror, the mirror/
Yeah I'm looking in the mirror, the mirror, the mirror/
Yeah I'm looking in the mirror, the mirror, the mirror/
Yeah I'm looking in the mirror at me/
(Repeat 1x)
[nakEdtruth] Mirror, Mirror on the wall/
Why are you staring so hard/
You got beef/
Nah, you don't want beef, why you staring at me/
Verse 1:
[Mad V] As I look in the mirror I see my reflection/
Give me a evil look so I grab my protection/
It’s crazy talking funny out the side of your neck/
It’s crazy who taking over the wind inside of the chest/
Hard to go to sleep at night, don't change in my pajamas/
Just keep my clothes on, open the fridge, get me a Fanta/
Don't believe in Santa Clause, not living the fantasy/
Especially, when I got me looking at me/
Like when Jason took Freddie head off of his spine/
But Jesus really did cure the old man that was blind/
It’s a battle of truth between me and myself/
Myself want grind time, but me want the belt/
Don't tell me nothing like the Kanye West song/
Have a baby by me, some say 50 was wrong/
What that gotta do with me, I say I'm home grown/
Myself say shut your mouth and leave me alone/
Chorus
Verse 2:
[nakEdtruth] As I look at the glass, it looks back/
I make a face, he roger that/
But I ain't in front of you to see how pretty I am/
It’s for self examination cause I pity myself/
I been wilding, acting a fool/
Doing some things that I ain't never did in school/
Not thinking, living on impulse/
I done resurrected a temper that I once lost (huh)/
But don't judge, I got the speck out my eye/
This a his and her, why you over here on my side/
This is not about you, this is all about me/
The mirror holds terror, yet it is my therapy/
It helps that I could see but imagine being blind/
You left to see through another man's mind/
And me I find the glass is killing time/
So I step away from the mirror and turn back to God/
Chorus
Verse 3
[Big Joe] Mirror, mirror on the wall/
Reveal to me the realest of them all/
Things change, lights on now I'm looking at me/
I said something, he said something, is that really me/
I guess that's when I met my new best friend/
We talk everyday, wear same clothes, even wear the same skin/
The only thing our personalities way different/
He like things I don't like despite when I'm right/
But in our hearts we believe in God, the place where he spark/
If you want change your heart first in the mirror it start/
Its grind time with myself, that's the hardest of belts/
Making my own things shine while me stand by side/
I never cry, but I think he want to cause the things he go through/
I never killed the beef, I killed the demon going against me/
No white towel, but I need one cause I'm blasting for him/
Cause this aint fun but I wanna show my son I done grown up/
Chorus
