The Demon in the Mirror

歌詞

Well, I'm diggin’ in the crates Like O.C.And we gotta learn from The greats like OG, you know MeBack in the days when The cadence was amazing Now Money Pussy, fame instead of a Good TapeIf Big and Pac were Still in This motherfuckin’ Game, how Many fake thugs are gonna Fade away?Things done changed And rap’s got a bad nameI hate To see ’em hit a stain for CocaineDrugs and guns get us Stuck in the slumsShit is rough And tough, but we never get EnoughWhen I’m hustling, they Be busting guns for NothingYoungins still struggling And suffering for somethingTryna Stay alive, but crime is on the RiseDo they fight to live or Live to fight?I gotta surviveWe All gonna die, but everybody Wanna shineOpen my book of Rhymes again tonightThey say ”The higher you go, the harder You fall”I keep climbing on my Own even if I die aloneThey Never knew the view from The topcuz they stoppedDropping Hot shit like drones is all I knowThey say ”The higher you go, the harder You fall”I keep climbing on my Own even if I die aloneThey Never Knew the view from the topcuz They stoppedDropping hot shit Like drones is all I knowI’m Driven by my villains on a MissionTrying to make a couple Million and it’s for my VisionNow they all know that I’m writing the blueprint Like Jay-ZEverywhere they go My footprints are what they SeeIt’s hard to follow cuz my Motto is ”For Tomorrow”While They get the bottles and fuckin’ With the modelsI be working as The fire is burning inside meYou Better do the right thing like Spike LeeSo we gotta stay up This life ain’t as easy as a LayupNo matter what may come Fuck it, I’m all the way UpAlways being straight UpBitches better wake upYou Never truly get away with a lie That you make upThis shit is So real,but you always on the BullshitYou can try to steal But my verse isa full clipI Fiend for the mic like crack CocaineHolding it so tight in This rap againThey say ”The higher you go, the harder You fall”I keep climbing on my Own even if I die aloneThey Never knew the view from the Topcuz they stoppedDropping hot Shit like drones is all I knowI Came so far, it was hard, didn’ T know how to startWas it smart To follow my heart for my art? It doesn’tmatter what answers I getTo write the real chapters I couldn’t half stepThe pages That I write are my life and I RepSomeday you’ll find how Soon it could endSo I paint a Bigger picture for my baby in The futureHoping one day he’ Ll dream like Martin Luther But if you dream in your sleep It’ll never come trueAnd if You laying in the sheets no One speaks for youEvery choice You make always makes your VoiceThe only thing you need to Get rid of the noise Sleepless Nights, I know the reasons why I be staying on my grind and It’s always on my mind The demon in the mirror Sometimes he whispers”Who you Trying to be? Now you look Like me”They say ”The higher you go, the harder You fall”I keep climbing on my Own even if I die aloneThey Never knew the view from the Topcuz they stoppedDropping hot Shit like drones is all I KnowThey say, ”The higher you Go, the harder you fall”I keep Climbing on my own even if I die AloneThey never knew the view From the topcuz they stopped Dropping hot shit like drones Is all I know
