Mirror Lyrics

Dear God, can you make the vision clearer

Cause lately when I'm looking in the mirror

I don't even recognize the person staring on the other side

I see a man broken down by the grind

It's something about it that look different in his eyes

Even when he tired he gon' show a fake smile

And when they ask him how he doing

He gon' say he doing fine but inside he going through it

How can he rest if he committed to the movement

AC need a leader so somebody gotta do it

And he ain't saying that he trying to give it up

It's just his brain on the move while his body giving up

But you know he gon' keep on climbing cause he tough

To be honest he just feel like he a diamond in the rough

He see plenty people around him trying to make change

But every time he look around he barely see a change

Deep down that be bringing frustration

But at the same time he be feeling motivation

All his mentors saying be patient

But he ain't about to listen cause you know he hate waiting

He the type that's really down for the community

The key to that word that he focus on is unity

UNITY, don't worry you gon' see

UNITY, that's all about you and me

All his loved ones saying slow down

You gon' make yourself sick if you don't chill out

It sound good but he confused on how

How he supposed to rest when he worried about the whole town

Don't get it twisted he ain't trying to be the savior

He just know that he supposed to be more than an educator

He a disruptor, a youth motivator

One thing about the kids you can't wait until later

We gotta focus on them now give them direction

They need a place to call their own away from the aggression

A place that they can open up and share reflection

A place where they can break their dreams down into sections

Where they can talk about it without a lecture

A place that they can bring their issues that need addressing

Y'all need to know that mental health is a priority

For all of the youth it ain't just about minorities

That ain't no shade to MBHG

Cause they doing great work from the things I seen

To be honest with you we need more like them

When we build this new building we welcome them in

All I'm saying is you gotta stay tuned

We ain't at the table yet but we surely in the room

And that's what keep me going even though I'm tired

We always climbing so you know we going higher

On my way up

Got my weight up

I can't wait up

On my way up

On my way up

On my way up

I can't wait up

On my way up
