"Fighting the Mirror"
(Verse 1)
Woke up in the ring, but it’s not the crowd,
It’s the voice in my head screaming way too loud.
Gloves on tight, but it’s me I face,
Swingin' at the shadows in this empty space.
Coach says, “Kid, keep your eyes on the prize,”
But the prize feels far when the demons rise.
Every punch I throw, they counter back,
It’s a battle in my mind, keepin' me off track.
The bag don’t hit, but it tells no lies,
Sweat drips hard while my soul just cries.
A fighter’s heart, but a broken soul,
Tryna climb out of this endless hole.
(Chorus)
I’m fightin’ the mirror, it’s me versus me,
Tryna break free from the chains I can’t see.
Blood on my knuckles, tears in my eyes,
The battle’s inside where the truth lies.
I’m fightin’ the mirror, round after round,
Till the bell rings out and I’ve finally found—
Control, yeah, control of my life,
Knockin' out demons with every strike.
(Verse 2)
They don’t see the war when I step in the ring,
They see a young champ chasing the bling.
But they don’t hear the nights I scream,
Or the dark thoughts that haunt my dreams.
Every jab’s a prayer, every hook’s a plea,
Tryna knock out the doubt that’s killin’ me.
Anger’s my rival, fear’s my foe,
But I’m still standin’, blow by blow.
The crowd chants loud, but it fades away,
‘Cause the real fight’s inside me every day.
The bell don’t stop what’s in my head,
But I won’t quit till the fight’s put to bed.
(Chorus)
I’m fightin’ the mirror, it’s me versus me,
Tryna break free from the chains I can’t see.
Blood on my knuckles, tears in my eyes,
The battle’s inside where the truth lies.
I’m fightin’ the mirror, round after round,
Till the bell rings out and I’ve finally found—
Control, yeah, control of my life,
Knockin' out demons with every strike.
(Bridge)
Yo, this ain’t about belts or fame,
It’s about the kid inside screamin’ my name.
I see him in the glass, lookin' back at me,
Beggin’ for a fighter who can set him free.
I’m more than the punches, more than the pain,
Every loss is a lesson, every scar’s my gain.
The gloves ain't just leather; they’re my salvation,
Fightin' for peace, fightin' for liberation.
(Outro)
So I’ll keep swingin’, I’ll keep the fight,
Till I’m the one left standin' in the night.
The demons can scream, but they don’t own me,
I’m a fighter, a warrior, destined to be free.
(Chorus)
I’m fightin’ the mirror, it’s me versus me,
Tryna break free from the chains I can’t see.
Blood on my knuckles, tears in my eyes,
The battle’s inside where the truth lies.
I’m fightin’ the mirror, round after round,
Till the bell rings out and I’ve finally found—
Control, yeah, control of my life,
Knockin' out demons with every strike.
