Vinni came up with the chorus and wrote like 4 verses to it. Somehow he managed to cut it down to two long verses, and he left room for me in the middle.

Story behind the song
This is a song about the mask that we all put up to the world, even when we have problems. The only person who can see through fake happiness, is the man in the mirror.
This is song is very metaphorical, so read the lyrics (Vin's verses especially) and think.

Lyrics
****Lyrics are not exact****
Vinni:
He feels like he don’t do shit right
So when he sits down to write
He knows He’s in for a long cold night
And he sits all alone with only enough light
To see the chicken scratch
Let the beat play then he mixs it back
just to see what has hatched
Then he can only ask yo, who can match
The kid that writes with an unstable mentality
The kid that has a about three different personalities
Watch his head bang to these melodies
He can’t help but commit these felonies
While he’s smashin’ mics and killin’ trees
He won’t let it show how hes killin’ me
I’m the voice inside that whispers in his ears
And I’m the one that takes the pain when his hearts gets hit by spears
I’m the one that cries but he won’t show it
He won’t get help, and no one will ever know it
He plays it off like he has a tough exterior
He never looks at himself cause then he sees clearer
When he takes a good look at the man in the mirror
Cause he sees me, the man inside
and I don’t understand this master disguise
and I don’t understand he’s the master of lies and
He holds himself back from his own happiness
I’m locked up in chains of pain damn right I’m trapped in this
So when you laughin with him when he’s laughin’ at this
I’m laughin’ at you, cause he plays you for the fool
But can’t play him for the fool cuz hes too smart for you
and Everything he does is for a reason
He won’t show the real him cause that’s me inside bleedin’
So you can keep readin’ try to give him what hes needin’
Plus he’ll tell you he was just tired and deny it
Don’t believe me you can try it
I’ve seen it done so many times
He has just fooled so damn many minds
Since he wouldn’t tell anyone, one day he was frustrated
He stuffed me inside and the man in the mirror is what he created
Chorus: x2
i see the man in the mirror, and the man inside
and i, can't help but let out my cry
cuz i see what you see and i know its a lie
but i don't understand his master disguise
P:
I can’t see through the man in the mirror
but I know that he’s hollow
yes i know, that he cannot follow
he just swallows my pride
spit out the word
the man has the same colored eyes
but his are filled with a curse
and his feelins are worse
he’s hidin my first
reactions and passions
puts it in my rappin
makes up for whatever im lackin
he knows all my anger
and he’s so full of danger
if i become the man, damn
you’d think i was a stranger
hangin onto my dreams
that are nightmares
thinkin and wishin that somebody just might care
see right there!?
i swear i saw the man wink
his hand moved
he hates me
tryn to break me?
nah, never that, imma let the man crash
all i gotta do to kill you is break the glass
here take that for heaven’s sake cat
imma rape that, man that lurks
he spoke to me once, and i cant stand his words
here, let me bang this verse
cuz ever since my birth
compared to the man, ive just had it worse
so mad and my thirst for rage
is gone lead to my hearst one day
on a direct course to lay with...
Chorus: x2
i see the man in the mirror, and the man inside
and i can't help but let out my cry
cuz i see what you see and i know its a lie
but i don't understand his master disguise
Vinni:
Its time for the man in the mirror to die
And for me the man inside to rise
when i sleep i only got just one vision
And right now i only got just one mission
The man in the mirror only has a slight intuition
While he sleeps i get him to sleep walk to the kitchen
His eyelids are shut, but i can see my vision
Every time down the stairs he stumbles and will awake
Which means for another night that i will have to wait
the next night comes, in my dream
its different now he runs
i’m tryin’ to get the check hold on his soul
In this dream everything is just out of control
Whats comin’ next, where will it go
Runs to his room, still asleep eyelids still close
