Reflection Lyrics

Reflection, praying for some protection

If I end up veering and straying from my ascension

A tendency for steering myself in the wrong direction

Please keep me from all the bad vibes and deception

Redemption, ever since my conception

Feels like I've been paying for sins of a past life

These moments we grasp tight

And hope that we don't regret them

All these blessings and lessons, I won't forget them

Confessions, some feelings I've been surpressing

But if it's meant to be, it'll be cuz it's destined

So I just go with the flow, I'm no longer stressing

Sick of searching, trying to find answers to all these questions

Possessions, don't always equal progression

I used to be

Filled with anger, hate and aggression

Depression

Played havoc with my perception

Hindered my expression

But now I sit here reflecting

Just trying to clear these thoughts

Trying to free my mind

But my path is laid out

If I just read the signs

But I think I lost my way

I probably need a sign

Just trying to get myself straight

I need to realign

But I ain't sticking to the script

I read between the lines

I know my flaws

Jealousy, rage, greed and pride

How come sinning

Tends to be when we most feel alive

But we can better ourselves

Yeah all we need is time

Yeah

Just reminiscing on past days

As more and more roaches fill up these ash trays

As the Henney and lemonade in the glass drains

I'm just sitting and praying, hoping that rap pays

I'm old school, but ain't focusing on my past grades

Cuz more often than not, I never passed grades

But still I grew up around plenty class A's

Back in my teenage years, that was a mad phase

A lesson planner with lyrics scrawled on the back page

Watching Up In Smoke, dreaming of being on that stage

Last scene of 8 Mile, rhyming to Onyx - Last Days

Gaining experience, trying to get all my stats raised

I'm grateful for all these paths paved

By the legends that led me straight to this rap game

Still trying to fuck, and give lady luck

My last name

Cuz I've spent years just reaching and trying to grasp fame

To no avail, maybe I'm prone to fail

And that's why all those close to me go and bail

It's just the same old story

All pain no glory

But I deserve some credit

The way I came up surely

Almost gave up purely

Due to impatientness

And the fact it seems not too many are rating this

Got me feeling like

Why the fuck am I even making this

I don't know

What more can I really say I'm just

Trying to clear these thoughts

Trying to free my mind

But my path is laid out

If I just read the signs

But I think I lost my way

I probably need a sign

Just trying to get myself straight

I need to realign

But I ain't sticking to the script

I read between the lines

I know my flaws

Jealousy, rage, greed and pride

How come sinning

Tends to be when we most feel alive

But we can better ourselves

Yeah all we need is time
