Broken Mirror
It's true
In this life
I've never been the one
In your eyes
I've never been the truth
All you saw
Was a broken mirror
It's true
In this life
I've never been the one
In your eyes
I've never been the truth
All you saw
Was a broken mirror
I'm feeling like middle finger to the rap game
I'd probably already be rich in trap game
But I don't wanna get stuck in the cypher I kinda like a lil challenge & I get that as a black man
I'm trying not to put a blade to my melanin
My Cocoa butter skins been heaven sent
But if I let blood flow then I can feel again I grown a lil numb to world that I been living in
Stray bullets burn cold when they meet flesh
Got partners in the boro still smoking stress a dub sack be the remedy let they mind rest
My parents told they sons the only contest is progress
But in the classroom teachers still lie to us we never learn our history feeling like ain't no options
& they try to tell us that we shouldn't dream big
You'll never make out the city think small kid
Ain't no need to go to college you'll be fine dear
Just make enough money to pay them rims off but they never teach us bout credit just watch the score board
& you don't need an education when you that fast
Just hit the league blow it all you'll get it right back
Ain't no need to invest and build your assets
Oh You scored 20 points fantastic
Run nigga run we sell dreams to the fastest
It's true
In this life
I've never been the one
In your eyes
I've never been the truth
All you saw
Was a broken mirror
It's true
In this life
I've never been the one
In your eyes
I've never been the truth
All you saw
Was a broken mirror
Oh lord here he go with the racism
Or is it Classism or maybe hateism
But I look in your eyes and see you hate niggas
& you rather emasculate me than catch a fade with me
Not a slave by definition but vague and I resent that the page in history never came from our descendants or paid The ones that really did it I figured it was gimmick for the power ya played with it
& you can't try to be God and he might let ya think ya did it
But nah it don't work like that
Try to control the world he created and flip it inside out for personal gain ya get hurt like that
So let me school bout how these things happen
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
You cut then we stabbin
You take then we grabbin
Lights out and we packin
You shoot then we blastin
My nigga just caught another case y'all
I ask him what the issue was only thing he told me
Wrong time wrong place dawg
Institutionalized the Slave trade no minimum wage penitentiary caged
Say it depend on the case but that mugshot look different from the middle or front page
Wrong skin wrong face dawg
It's true
In this life
I've never been the one
In your eyes
I've never been the truth
All you saw
Was a broken mirror
It's true
In this life
I've never been the one
In your eyes
I've never been the truth
All you saw
Was a broken mirror
