This that mirror talk And that mirror talks Look So I was rappin in the mirror It's an every night tradition 2AM or 3AM See it don't really make a difference Man Said it don't really make a difference I stay up that late to show rappers what really makes us different If I ain't pass you while you sleepin I just shortened up the distance Damn I just shorted up the distance But they know what's coming Fuck it I ain't even gotta finish Man Said I ain't even gotta finish I'm replenished Ain't a gimmick You know that I'm bout to kill again Since when did rapping turn to acting They tell stories that ain't happen You wont find nobody Realer than Me I'm so dope I flow dope Even Mike Myers hit my line to get some mojo I used to watch the major leagues and now I'm bout to go pro Two middle fingers for my logo I swear I'm going loco I'm going chi town crazy Cuz I'm a chi town baby And chi town raised me I said I'm chi town crazy So all them shots cant phase me Bitch stop hating I told em bitch stop hating To keep it real I lost a lot of sleep Was toss and turning To concerned of what they thought of me Oh the irony Damn I love the irony They never would reply And now they never hear replies from me.(beat pick up) See I'm just giving back the energy that I received Pouring henny while I'm swimming through some memories I grind my teeth thinking back to how they slept On me They Flipping scripts But never take a peak behind the scenes Some of the rappers got me fucked up They talk tough But if your asking me dawg they just confused On the gram bragging they've been rappin For Like TEN YEARS? Ten years Bitch I got more songs then you But that's the life we livin See peopled rather tell the world what their going for then ever actually try to get it Guess that's what makes us different Cuz if I ever told somebody what I'm bout to do I guaranteed I fuckin did it I cherish every minute Some people work a 9-5 All their life And they never get around to live it Man that's so depressing Might change my lane But never change the mission Always had that faith like I was superstitious. I tried to show em love but fuck it I'm on kill mode You came into the devil's crib The door behind you sealed close So now I'm thinking I should stomp em with my steel toes They always trynna flex I bet those bruises make em feel swoll So mirror mirror on the wall I'ma need your help I got one request, and then I wont ask nothing else Can you show me everyone that Hope's that I don't fail Damn that's crazy I can only see myself
