Man In The Mirror

Pen to the paper watching my thoughts bleed.
I want to change the world , but I got to start with me.
You win some ; you lose some that’s the way it goes.
I’m the future right now it’s just that nobody knows,
But I keep pushing because persistence is key,
I’m just trying to make a better living for my family,
But it’s hard in a world that keeps getting colder,
Living life constantly looking over your shoulder.
Dust in the wind not dusting the wind.
I haven’t been to church in a while to cleanse my sins.
I want to believe in faith and live it strong,
But ain’t it funny how we only pray when something goes wrong.
I’m trying to change with God and build up our relations,
But I keep falling for the devil’s temptations.
Seems like the evil manifests in my brain.
I want to get my life on track,
But I keep missing the train.

(Verse 2)
For every cut there’s a scar.
For every rhyme there’s a bar.
For every failure there’s star.
Nigga know who you are.
We were taught the sucker is the working man.
So our job opportunities is contraband.
Education never our mine….priority
Living life as a stereotype….minority
For every action there’s a consequence….tough,
But niggas want to see you up in them cuffs.
Life is a big puzzle, but you never find the pieces.
Like how they always lie to us about the white Jesus.
I haven’t slept for days, I’m up on the lean.
No caffeine I’m just living off of dream,
But some people can’t change they always doing the same dirt.
Until they end up on that R.I.P. shirt.
But until the day my life get’s a little clearer,
I got to make a change with the man that’s in the mirror.
