lyrics

Chorus
Mirror, Mirror/ on the wall/ who is the top narcissist of them all? " "/ on the wall/ show who I was before my ego got involved " "/ on the wall/ why criticize myself when I can talk about y’all? " "/ too many forget pride/ comes before the/ fall

Verse 1
So I’m staring at this apparition A ghost of my former Self/ trapped in tradition When I dont like what I see I tend to cover it up But got the nerve to talk about women with makeup? We all put on too much and feel we're not enough Been pushin way Lady Luck but Im cravin her touch Now what is Love if it don't come from your Self So many suffer depression so emotional health Seems to be more important than we choose to admit My reflection tells me the Truth as I maneuver through split Personalities/ yo/ no matter your locality We all in Mortal Kombat/ it ends in fatality spoiler alert/ royal or serf/ loins in the dirt Stop raping Mother Nature/ loyal to Earth That's how were meant to be from birth/ everything is temporary Center your inner temple/ everywhere's a sanctuary

Verse 2
Perception tends to be an enemy When we dont live authentically what we pretend to be Manifests as a phantom/ holding morals for ransom Novus Ordo Seclorum is deeper than we can fathom Vanity's still in fashion / automatic action grasping at whats lackin/ pimp predictable passions That’s what the masters of propaganda have manufactured Question every moment the masses are chasing after Tell me/ would you recognize your soul? Have you truly taken time to figure out whos in control? We occupy our time gawking up at the stars and ponder the possibility of living on Mars but do you know the Cause of your very existence? Before your parents met what was the purpose of your lineage? we live in effect/ villains respect/ nothing, but check Your Self in the mirror now what does it reflect?

Verse 3
We look into the world for the things we need to seek within/ External learning will have you running from all your friends Life that we lead is only gonna be reflection You're the/ source of all energy received in each direction Point the powerful mechanism we call attention Obstacles that you hop over strengthen all of your comprehension Cultivate the proper vision to demolish competition Plot twistin kicker is we free from all division Unify our consciousness/ at first it seems monotonous Reach into the dungeon/ you'll see our thoughts have been hostages Better to know what we need to let go And then make it official in order to grow What I'm on is so potent you don’t need to smoke it Just look in the mirror to get with the flow Amazing we made it this far without bleeding To death/ it's a wound that we never been treating The way that we should and dopamine opened me Up to the bevy of possible reasons Many fall off and they suffer demise Wont take the time to deciper the prize Hidden within em/ deliver the prism That's spinning and shining the glimmer eyes Will give you the message you need to accept Who do we run to when no one is left Holding your breath/ eventually kills Blood is like oil the way that it spills Many project and don’t know respect Begins deep inside with the soul you must check No matter the weather we keep it together The storm is a form of its own dialect Dissected/ selected/ my aura's protected Democracy's obsolete/ I manifested The things that I dictated straight from the heart Take it to yours but I'm making my mark An artist must harvest but all of us farmers We reaping the season/ releasing the karma Collected detected a new eave energy instantly when I respected my enemy
