🔊 INTRO (spoken, low energy)
They told me stay quiet
Smile for the picture
But nobody asked me
How heavy the mirror feels
🎤 VERSE 1
Mama said, “Be patient, don’t rush your soul”
City taught me pressure turn hearts to stone
Everybody talking like they know the code
But they never felt hunger in a house that’s cold
I seen pride turn brothers into enemies
I seen love get lost in identity
Everybody scream for attention
But silence the truth when it mention me
I was praying for peace, got anxiety
Trying to heal while they monetize me
They want art, but they don’t want honesty
They want pain, long as it ain’t inside of me
🔁 HOOK (melodic, emotional)
I’m talking to mirrors, they talking back
Asking who I am and where I lost that
Too much noise in my head, can’t relax
Trying to find God where the sirens at
I’m talking to mirrors, they showing scars
Every broken dream made me who we are
Still standing tall with a heavy heart
Trying to shine light in a world this dark
🎤 VERSE 2 (flow switch)
They say “Stay woke,” but they sleep on truth
Scroll pain daily like it’s something new
We celebrate trauma like trophies now
Turn real life hurt into clout and views
Politicians preaching with empty hands
While the block still bleed, no ambulance
They build walls for protection
Then wonder why nobody understand
I ain’t perfect, I admit my flaws
I wrestle faith, I question God
But if my voice can spark a thought
Then maybe pain wasn’t all for loss
🔁 HOOK (stronger, layered vocals)
I’m talking to mirrors, they talking back
Asking who I am and where I lost that
Too much noise in my head, can’t relax
Trying to find God where the sirens at
I’m talking to mirrors, they showing scars
Every broken dream made me who we are
Still standing tall with a heavy heart
Trying to shine light in a world this dark
🎤 BRIDGE (spoken word – Kendrick style)
If pain made me honest
And scars made me human
Then maybe the broken pieces
Was the proof I was moving
🎤 VERSE 3 (calm, reflective)
I don’t need crowns, I don’t need chains
I need truth that can’t be explained
If I fall, let it be forward
If I rise, let it be change
Talking to God through a cracked cell phone
Searching for peace in a busy home
If they hear me when the beat gone
Then I know I finally spoke grown
🔚 OUTRO
Mirrors don’t lie
They only ask questions
The answer…
That’s on me
