Mirror
Lil' Wayne Lyrics

Uh, with everything happening today
With all the chaos and confusion in the world right now

You don't know whether you're coming or going
You feel lost and uncertain about life

But you think that you're on your way
You believe you have a purpose and direction in life

Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it (woo)
Your life is reflected back at you in the mirror and you need to make the most of it

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
Pay attention to what I'm saying

You lookin' at me but I'm lookin' through you
You're not really understanding the true meaning behind what I'm saying

I see the blood in your eyes
I can see the pain and struggle in your life

I see the love in disguise
You're trying to hide your true feelings of love and affection

I see the pain hidden in your pride
You're putting up a front of pride, but really you're hurting

I see you're not satisfied
You're not truly happy with your life

And I don't see nobody else
I'm the only one who truly understands you

I see myself, I'm looking at the
I see myself reflected in you

Mirror on the wall (woo), here we are again (yeah)
The mirror reflects our lives and struggles

Through my rise and fall (uh)
Throughout my successes and failures

You've been my only friend (yeah)
The mirror has been the only constant in my life

You told me that they can understand the man I am
The mirror has shown me that others can see and appreciate who I truly am

So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
Why do we continue to have this conversation?

Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I can see through your deceitfulness and understand the truth of your situation

I see nobody by your side
You feel alone and unsupported

But I'm with you when you're all alone
The mirror is always there, even when no one else is

And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
The mirror helps me to see my faults and mistakes

I see the guilt beneath the shame
You're feeling guilt and shame for something you've done

I see your soul through your window pain
I can sense your emotional pain and connect with you on a deeper level

I see the scars that remain
I can see the lasting effects of past traumas in your life

I see you Wayne, I'm lookin' at the
I see Lil' Wayne as his true self, not just his stage persona

Lookin' at me now I can see my past
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lil' Wayne reflects on his past and how it has led him to where he is today

Damn I look just like my fuckin' dad
Lil' Wayne realizes how much he resembles his father

Light it up, that's smoke at mirrors
Lil' Wayne recognizes that what seems real and tangible may just be an illusion

I even look good in the broken mirror
Lil' Wayne sees the beauty in imperfection and brokenness

I see my momma smile that's a blessin'
Lil' Wayne reflects on the love and support of his mother

I see the change, I see the message
Lil' Wayne sees the positive changes in his life and realizes the message he wants to convey to his fans

And no message could been any clearer
His message is clear and powerful

So I'm starting with the man in the
He's beginning with himself in order to make a positive impact on the world

Ayy BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time
Lil' Wayne is proud of his artistic achievements and references the concept of reaching beyond our world and limitations
