I’m looking in the mirror and I’m bout to have a chat
I’m looking back like I don’t know who I’m looking at
but in fact the fact is that I know that
the man in the mirror is me and I ain’t think I know that
Blow Back (nope) It won’t hit me
But I know the dirt we did when we was in the city
Clearly, so don’t lie when we talk
Stand up straight don’t break character to walk
Cause it takes character to walk on
The journey you and I bout to embark on
The road is long it’ll get hard dog
you’re not talking me out of this (Aw Naw)
I’m on another level and I won’t let
Haters come in and hate saying they hope that
I’mma quit so I’mma quit listnin to dumb shit
Dumb bitch you gone be the reason why I run shit
with a lit fire you’re pouring gas and ignighting
I’m burning the boats walking with my back to the light
and I’m back to the fight chillin sittin in the field of battle
I planned for the war so I’mma do just what I have to
Strap up and get ready to go nuts
No luck needed I’m going until I blow up
Hold up the white flag or don’t show up
Know What? It’s best you don’t get your hopes up
