Story behind the song
It's about when someone takes a look into their life, into a personal mirror, and can see who they truly are and how it would be if you saw yourself as other people saw you.
Lyrics
(hook)
look inside i can see the mirror /
look outside i can see the world /
what becomes your reflection /
what becomes your perception /
who is holding your mirror /
is you're memory any clearer /
how have we caused this deception /
how has this been our protection /
(x2)
(verse 1)
when i look back i can see myself, alone like an empty bottle on the shelf /
struggling like an alcoholic who needs help, i'm lost in a bad realm /
this dream state to find oneself, a place where you don't need to scream and yell /
when you're looking for heaven and you find hell, pray and avoid the shrapnel /
Jesus conquered the grave, conquered death and took the keys /
a keepsake for the keeper who oversees life's enemies, give strategies /
helps us become who we needa be and see where we need to seize /
because i see no evil no hades and i'm in an infinite loop with a zero in the eighties /
i look inside to find out who i am and to see if you knew who you were /
its finals week in college, this is your exam, a self assessment of who you weren't /
slain, crucified on the cross was the lamb, a sword to the ground worshipped /
you changed to wicked ways my friend quondam you never listened to me as a wordsmith /
I'm praying to a king of infinite royalty of whom shows nothing but love and benevolence /
ruling fiercely but some people would disagree with me, its haunting but for(give) your hinderance /
this is all coming from within i am sayin honestly and its daunting you shove conscience /
so i commit to conquer agony this storm smooth sailin ahead and this dawn becomes a cadence /
(hook)
look inside i can see the mirror /
look outside i can see the world /
what becomes your reflection /
what becomes your perception /
who is holding your mirror /
is you're memory any clearer /
how have we caused this deception /
how has this been our protection /
(x2)
(verse 2)
so this is written about the calmness to be able to escape the darkness /
most people see the suns brightness but fail to see because of blindness /
they see color but in reality see grayness lack courage and boldness /
but for a second of briefness the darkness ceases and the metaphor brightens /
can you picture the scene back from nineteen ninety three a kid like me /
born without anything to eat and choked to death i could not breathe /
suffocation and affixation no oxygen to the lungs of this new born infant /
now do see how to become so distant but i was persistent and became infinite /
nineteen years later here i am rapping writing rhyming scheming forming /
a slew of words put together similar to a the chemical makeup of a molecular structure /
my mechanics are quantum and are ever going like space and the continuum /
reaching out going through like a phantom and creating this new theorem /
my mirror inside is the reflectivity of my daily life and the attitudes i portray /
I'm an artist, a rapper, a drawer, collectively this is my imagery my portrait /
but what a poor trait to have if not genuinely aptly using your talent you outre /
these words i use as a speaker, this kid jarred promptly cutting contingency of the cliche /
(hook)
look inside i can see the mirror /
look outside i can see the world /
what becomes your reflection /
what becomes your perception /
who is holding your mirror /
is you're memory any clearer /
how have we caused this deception /
how has this been our protection /
