[Verse]
Saw the world cracked, through the prism of my skin
Rainbow in my veins, but the dark seeped in
Pride on my chest, but my heart had sin
Taught love for myself, but who’d I keep within?
Judged them fast, before their words could land
Color-coded minds, dirty on my hands
Pointin’ at the system, yellin’ "change the plan!"
But the bias in my mirror had a reprimand
[Prechorus]
Who am I to march with a flag in my grip
When my thoughts still drip, venom I can’t flip?
[Chorus]
Mirror of my shadows, who’s staring back?
Built a house of colors, but the foundation cracked
Tryna fix the world, while my truth distracts
Mirror of my shadows, reflection attacks
[Verse 2]
From the South, where the air gets heavy with hate
Learned love from struggle, but I carried the weight
Preach unity, yet my mind segregate
Lip-sync freedom, but the tune ain’t straight
Told myself stories, built them from the news
Assumed their chapters, never walked in their shoes
Woke one day, with a click, with a bruise
Realized my own chains, I’m the one to lose
