Description
Sometimes a mirror is not glass, but a conversation partner who knows too much. It has seen the highs, the misses, the doubts, and yet it reflects someone who is still holding on. This is not about vanity, but about a conversation with one's own reflection, when there is no filter left between “who I was” and “who I have become.” Sarcasm is hidden between the lines, confidence is mixed with vulnerability, and behind the rhythm you can hear a tired but lively “You can do it.”
This beat is therapy without a psychologist. A conversation with yourself, where every word is like a stitch on an old scar: it no longer hurts, but the memory itches. Pride and self-irony go hand in hand, like old friends after a long quarrel. And it seems that all the noise around can be drowned out with one simple admission - “I deserved it.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
Hello.
Bel-Air.
Baby X.
Mirror, mirror on the bands, who the flyest in the room?
Who inspired everybody that's aspiring to you? I won't toot my own horn, I'm just clearing it to you. And
I know you just a mirror, but my fair is only you.
Therefore, them lil' boys ain't nowhere near you. Don't care, but just annoyed how they be playing you.
Those years of paranoia probably took a toll, but depression a toll, mirror, it ain't only you. Mm, mm, mm, you deserve everything you do.
Mm, mm, they gon' try get you on the move. Mm, mm, mm, they gon' try 'cause it work, right?
Mm, mm, shoulda never stopped listening to you. Oh, mirror, don't you forget, remember
Glenn Lewis?
Don't feel like you really him, but I'ma see to it that you feel like you really him. 'Cause I'ma need you, 'cause now we see what this really is.
We gotta see it through to it, right? You deserve everything you do.
Mm, mm, they gon' try get you on the move. Mm, mm, mm, they gon' try 'cause it work, right?
Mm, mm, shoulda never stopped listening to you.
Okay. Mirror, mirror on the legs.
The coach sent you home, you don't know what's coming next.
You thinking boys stay cool, you always been a dog, but the porter wasn't knowing. They gon' send your home 'fore you even get to stretch.
Mirror, mirror, mirror, look at all your transgressions.
think you crazy, crackers think you too aggressive. The people think you mad, I ain't mad, just reflecting.
But since Flower Bomb dropped, ain't nobody give you attention.
Been a few years, see what we going through. Yeah, so many peers have stopped calling you.
Yeah, let's make it clear on who you loyal to. Uh, yeah, save all your tears.
See, what we going through is mirror. Look at me. No mirror, look at me.
They try to bite your style, they walk out with crooked teeth.
No self-sabotage, know the opps like awake.
If you ever need to talk, know I always be in your face, saying you deserve everything you do. Mm, mm, they gon' try get you on the move.
Mm, mm, mm, they gon' try 'cause it work, right?
Mm, mm, shoulda never stopped listening to you.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
Can I get a. . .
Now I'm good enough. Now I'm stacking up. Now I'm rich enough. I can bag it up. Now
I'm good enough. Now I'm stacking up. Now I'm rich enough. I can bag it up. Ooh.
