Mirror Image

Lookin' at the mirror

Can't believe who's standing there

Like a big screen movie, except it's horror

He don't got the pulled out hair,

Or the stressed out color

Man, this ain't fair!

 

The very thought of him terrifies me

Pennywise the dancing clown

Would sit right down in his deadlights

Caught up in the headlights

See 'em coming closer and all I do is stare

Move out the way, the car's right there!

 

Except I'm the one driving

Tryna run down the imposter

He done turned me to a monster

People ask if I'm sick because I'm half green

I'm just always angry, tryna smash

The vision of me into dust cuz it ain't me

 

Take a closer look and you will see

That thing in front of you is what you may most desire

But it's actually my deepest regret

Shoulda never opened the door and tried to use it

Bury it deeper than the best beat I ever hit

Put it on a pyre with the fire lit

 

This thing cannot be controlled

It's too manipulative, you'll get steam rolled

And made into a road, he don't care what it takes

He's taking the next step

Get every cake and eat until he's full

Making everyone sit and watch

Yep

You know it's cruel, he thinks it's cool

We are worth more than all y'all

 

Wait, that wasn't me, I swear it!

This ain't even my jacket, why's it straight?

No, I ain't crazy things are just a bit hazy

Stop calling me lazy, I'm trying hard

Better than a running back, I mistake a block for a yard

Next thing I know, the whole street run past

Now I'm at the last road, tryna crack the code

As to where I went

 

How'd I end up inside looking out

Watch him go to school every day

Fightin' it like a heavyweight bout

But takin' it all the wrong way

Please, just stop and think

 

He's the opposite of what I wanna be,

Can't blame it on my ADD or the money

Cuz I don't have either

Won't hit a blunt but I'm higher

Got you thinking, am I a liar?

 

No, I'm just trapped in the mirror

Swapped places with a killer who likes licking silver

I'll stand and deliver

That is not who I am, I swear

Just let me clear the air and cut it square

That curvy looking fool

With the stupid grin is nothing but a tool caught up in sin

I'll take the bad luck just break this mirror

Cuz I've been in a drought more than the seven years

Thirsting for a drink of something more than tears

I've been torn apart and put back together

Every time he looks in the mirror and walks away from the glass

Watch the next time you pass

You'll see me calling for help

Tryna bury my guilt and get out to rebuild

The places he has filled

 

He was the mirrored me

The opposite, the wrong way around

Holding me hostage

But my time has come to make the sound

Trust me, it'll be loud

 

Next time you see that version of me, he's in the garbage

I'm reincarnate

And tell you what

 

Damn, I'm feelin' great.
