Shadows in the Mirror

Yeah, talkin’ to my younger self, shadows in the mirror

Facing all these scars, gotta tell 'em, gotta hear ya

Once I was bright, man, I played it straight, stayed on the grind

Good kid with a dream, in my mind, I was destined to shine

Now I look back, see the fall, see the cracks in my soul

Streets took control, lost the role of a man, that’s the toll

Burdened with regret, try to reset, but the past’s heavy weight

Trying to fix what’s broken, yeah, the price I gotta pay

Can’t be the father I’d want to, can’t show the way

Caught in the storm, I perform, every night and day

Still reachin’ for redemption, but it’s hard to find

In the darkness, I’m remindin’ myself, I was once divine

But Satan once a angel, now the devil’s on my side

Change is necessary, gotta shed the lies, can’t hide

Yo, younger me, don’t hate the man I’ve become

Remember when I was young, full of hope, full of love?

Life’s a struggle, but don’t let it define ya

Make a change, find the light before you lose the line

Searching through the pain, tryna find my way

From good kid to lost soul, I’ve gone astray

If I could go back, tell my younger self to stay

Hold on to hope, let the past fade away

You say I was good, but I feel the hate inside

Hate for the man I’m turnin’ into, can’t run, can’t hide

Struggles made me bitter, streets gave and then took

Now I hate the mirror, don’t recognize the look

Wish I could flip the script, change this destiny

But I’m trapped, lost in the chaos, can’t see the serenity

You say I was divine, but I see the cracks, the pain

Wish I could erase, start again, escape the rain

Old me, how did we lose the way?

From hopeful to hopeless, day after day

But I hear your words, they cut right through

Maybe it’s time to change, time to make a move

Searching through the pain, tryna find my way

From good kid to lost soul, I’ve gone astray

If I could go back, tell my younger self to stay

Hold on to hope, let the past fade away

It’s a cycle, a spiral, gotta break free

Angel to demon, what about what I used to be?

Change the story, rewrite the history

Find the strength inside me, start to believe

Yeah, gotta pick up these pieces, mend what’s broken

Facing my reflection, truths unspoken

Once an angel, now a shadow cast

But maybe in this darkness, I’ll find the path at last
