So there I was, washing my face, mirror screamed ugly   Said you ain’t gotta like me but you’ll learn to love me   I am the company that will forever keep you   The only existence that you can’t see through   I am your self esteem which your dreams feed through   The backtracks flashbacks and the previews   The concerns that burn ya firm reviews   And keep you from sleepin at night   Right then I was stuck, stood still, frozen   Tryin to find the fuck, but mouth dropped open   Knowin this was all for real, I kept my nerves concealed   As her words would steal my undivided attention   Her voice got a lot softer with each single sentence   She mentioned the lifestyle of a smile   The self portraits and the morbid side profile   The cornered and the docile, she said walk in the slow aisle   And ignore the mobiles but make sure you stay in touch   She said some of us are gonna end up corrupt   With abrupt brush strokes that dry lies, because the truth is harder to sell   And the smarter survive, the harder you strive the more they will run   Be careful not to lose sight on how far you have come   The numb feeling your dealing with, will fade   And it'll make more sense as you continue to age   This hip hop life might seem like a phase   But for you this is it, to remain engraved   The rage will build and the moments will spill      But you needs not worry, while they scurry to pile on dirt   And cover up the work you insert, there words won't be a worth   A thing, I felt a pin like sting seeping into each pore of my skin   Like boredom is a sin and then within several seconds   I saw my face start to melt within the reflection   Smile saggin, eyes baggin, ear lobes draggin on bathroom tiles   I was practically shittin myself   She said this is an image of a scene that needs help   But you are insignificant and must play with the different cards you've been dealt   The bitches in this business are only out for themselves   And that bitterness that dwells amongst your own personal hell   Is like heaven to many who stepped in with a rather large weight on their shoulders   You can see the faces get colder, and the soldier start to lose his mind   You've been given a living, breathin, self believing beauty, who is truly one of a kind   Find that content bench to park in, and you may bargain with the pardons   I’m sorry, the sorry excuse they use to spill a splash of juice   Will not hold up in your views, your truth is coming   While the sarcasm is flooding the dust ridden streets   Close your eyes and listen to me speak   Cos there's a point to be reached   I did as she wished and I swear I felt a set of cold lips kiss me   I opened my eyes to find there was no ME in that mirror   I scanned the glass, but there was no face, no body, just some cubicle doors   This was a nothing I'd never seen before, time stopped as I watched in aur   I paused and then gained composure   I was curious I wanted some form of closure   So I moved closer and I asked her “are you God?”   She replied “No I'm just that part of you your yet to get to know”   Your moment of clarity
