Reflection Lyrics

You don't need to empathize, dwell on it

What part of the story you gon' emphasize

I lost ground tryna make it up like improvise

And then rise to how my daughter see me through her infant eyes

For the next generation tryna enterprise

From dead tired to the thought of you, I'm energized

My soul had holes, my heart scabbed, became hearted

I do the work, trade, got demand like James Harden

Flame retardant, my pen ain't the same

It's problems, feeling like insane asylum

Never been a victim, playing violins

Plain as violence, you remaining silent

Stay in your lane while driving

Leaving from Spain to the Cayman Islands

Man, you wildin, I'm giving you game

Like pinky ring with diamond, maintaining

Won't let the game change who I am

It's out your range, I can feel it's about to change

Without the whips, without the chains

Still slaves without your names

Roots dug up, no lineage

Still the trenches like vimy ridge

Other cultures, you see how long the memory is

Penny pinch, 20 inch rims, and a Hemi in it

Bottle full of yak, but no Henny in it

I was pap, she could've been my Remy in it

But all the drama, she could've been Emmy winning

So I was outside, could've had plenty women

But how many was worth the time I was investing in them

So now I don't make appearances

Rather focus on paper and parenting

And building up inheritance

All the damage that was done, it was embarrassing

I went from transparent to hiding all the evidence

They see me as a leader, I reduced myself to follower

Insecure and hollow, and the pride should've swallowed up

Pause

Had to move on, it's just bars I bottled up

I'm not Charles Barkley, and I'm not no role model, but

I'm a father, I should make you more proud of what

Footprints I left behind, I don't get extra time

Depression and all the stress that press my mind

I want the best on repeat and make you press rewind

O-W-E, own worse enemy
