Smoke & Mirrors

[Intro] Vow to make my reflection proud nigga You should kick rocks and then take the cloud with you If we have a record shot it's not allowed on silence Don’t talk louder than my preaching giving the crowd scripture Have thoughts of running wild and being profiled with you Then I smile as I if stand in my future child's picture I was exiled to put it mild Probably caught up in common curveballs Life was profound [Verse 1] Used to work at UPS Moving boxes, shoes and watches See my distant future in a vision I ain't use binoculars In my eyes I seen dollars signs, joy, disappointment African to son of god Every blessing is anointed I can see a prodigy I can see Miletus I can see a see a humble servant-hеaler I can see in loss Wasn’t taught to be a boss Go to school make your A's Gеt your masters find a job Settle down take a raise Behind the knob there's a door for decisions you can open Hoping that you pick the right one And quite done, coping with the fact that you picked the wrong one It hit you a like a strong ton of bricks And you can't fix a shortcut in the long run Your friends who were foes, who didn't know you were chose You're a king, you're a diamond, you're a comet, you’re a rose You’re a pyramid You appear up in Madrid You appear in the Mid' Life crisis [Chorus] All I see, in the mirror while I smoke To get in the proper headspace In case there’s a test I gotta ace Cause the racist thought I would be dead In jail, or at home with an ankle brace... [Verse 2] When I'm top tier from angle spaced Dropped here made a splash in the great lakes Note the gator fashion Players play the game till they fade and crashin' Pray they pass the police to go east Off of eight mile a mile I've seen a businessman, they killed em where his trials is See a scientist, an alien, the purest form of savagery The strategy is plain - get on some land an live lavishly I told a nigga crew, sometimes I see a failure Other times I a see a warrior I can see euphoria and Flashbacks of Gloria who said I wouldn’t be shit In my living room a month after my mom's passed Pops held her back though he fed into her lies Years go I'm still affected I can see it my eyes [Chorus] Like the marijuana leaf that kief by myself In a mirror for a clearer understanding of my health Mentally I can see I was meant to be a threat Its in my eyes I see red when I'm physically upset... Getting lost in my reflection I can see respiration then I see recollection Now I see resurrection [Verse 3] I'm a champ I'm a leader I'm a prophet I'm a rebel I'm a dragon, I'm a beast if a stoop to your level On my block I'm a paradox I'm a pandora's box Filled with rocks couple Glocks Blood money for some stocks I can see an open mic off of 7 mile and 40 Used to battle up in Coney They don't know me Y'all destroy your student body Catch a case and I might have to call a lawyer Just to beat it You don't see a phoenix? You don't see my aura? You don't see a legend You don't see a glow as its turning as it's turning Can you see what I see? I can see a passion burning... [Chorus] Like the marijuana leaf that I kief by myself In a mirror for a clearer understanding of my health Mentally I can see I was meant to be a threat Its in my eyes - I see a red one when I'm physically upset Getting lost in my reflection I can see respiration Then I see recollection Now I see resurrection Now I see...
