BBOY ZERO - I SEE THE MIRROR Lyrics

So when I see the mirror
And stare at my reflection
All my mistakes are clearer
My thoughts, they no exception
Can I? Can I? Can you? Can you?
Will I? Will I? Will you?
Will you reflect in retrospect? Please
Render me useless, soon I'll be stuck on the wall
We're in a point of contention about the point of it all
I think we're all a bunch of losers singing for our survival
A tidal wavelength, where people play pretend like a doll
Sunny day, I was 8 selling lemonade
Saving up for the next Nintendo game
'09 filled life thought I'd never age
Well I guess some things'll never change
Now I know why you wasted your years
Putting that loud into your lungs every second you weren't in earshot
Of your mama, she was yelling up the stairwell
Always so depressed looking for that fresh air, well
I guess it's hypocritical, a teenage boy who's cynical
I told you in the single I'm too focused on the digital
Media controls my every thought and every word
And despite it all, my heart is a lovebird
So when I see the mirror
And stare at my reflection
All my mistakes are clearer
My thoughts, they no exception
Can I? Can I? Can you? Can you?
Will I? Will I? Will you?
Will you reflect in retrospect?
I feel like competitive melee
When they tryna do circuited gameplay
The community always get shut down
Last year was a comedown
Robbing us joy but it gave us a gift
And I don't know what it is
But I know that every season everything happens for reason, yo
I know there's more to life than waiting at an IHOP
So I'll create the illest shit, leave you ass with eyedrops
Like I see on TV and MTV
That's kinda where I wanna be, but not really
See I like programming beats, dope piano melodies
EQ and compress, man I think it's a test
Will I make it to the industry or rot?
Cause I'm not tryna lose I got everyone to prove wrong
How do you tell all of these Hoosiers that you like to rap?
And that the homies that you work with don't live in a trap?
And that the culture is a culture and they've helped you through
Thick and thin fuck my fin is coming into view
What's it gonna be like when I do my first interview?
I don't really know, all that I do know is the waters blue
The game's competitive and some fuckers are out for you
But zero I'm the hero and I'm here to scoop up all the loot
Every time I did a gig I'd play Fiancé last
Just a promise I had made with you way in the past
First love and the last time I'll make that mistake
Either way I'm watching every step you and I take
So when I see the mirror
And stare at my reflection
All my mistakes are clearer
My thoughts, they no exception
Can I? Can I? Can you? Can you?
Will I? Will I? Will you?
Will you reflect in retrospect?

So when I see the mirror
And stare at my reflection
All my mistakes are clearer
My thoughts, they no exception
Can I? Can I? Can you? Can you?
Will I? Will I? Will you?
Will you reflect in retrospect? Please
