Thinking about my pass
All the things I wanted
Everything I never had
Ouu ima
Get it ima yea ima get it ima get it
Reflection
All the things I wanted
Everything I never

Reflection
Thinking about my past
All the things I wanted everything i never had
Ouuu ima get it
Yea ima get it yea ima get it
Ima get it If a nigga get in the way he gonna get it
Reflection
Thinking about my past
All the things I wanted everything i never had
Ouuu ima get it
Yea ima get it yea ima get it
Ima get it If a nigga get in the way he gonna get it

Reflections of the youth, I was smoking gas wit my kin
Fucked some stupid bitches, I ain't doing that again
Let a couple niggas slide, I thought that they was my mans
Till they turn bitchmade when you caught up in a jam
I press niggas nowadays, where your heart lie?
Seen true colors in my circle when my aunt died
Now I'm numb as fuck to the bullshit, mob ties
With my brothers out the fucking trap, set the bar high
For people who lack empathy, Niggas feeling me
Cuz I ain't gon' be doing this shit until I'm 50 G
I got up outta my bag, now I'm a bigger thief
Steal ya bitch heart, you still asking "Are you missing me?"
But she a hoe, lil bro let that shit go
We show compassion but we never being simps though
Off top, I knew I'd never understand
When I saw my bitch cuffed up, walking with another man
I got hopes of a woman with a bigger plan
Rather than, sucking niggas off for the dividends
I need a Rari and some bands in my bank account
Never told a lie to my mans, never chasing clout

Reflection
Thinking about my past
All the things I wanted everything i never had
Ouuu ima get it
Yea ima get it yea ima get it
Ima get it If a nigga get in the way he gonna get it
Reflection
Thinking about my past
All the things I wanted everything i never had
Ouuu ima get it
Yea ima get it yea ima get it
Ima get it If a nigga get in the way he gonna get it

I wanna be court side at the Nets (Floor seats)
Ima bring the whole squad to the Met (Luxury)
I wanna go so hard they can't forget where the fuck we come from (E N Y)
Throw my stamp on the map (Staple)
Tryna be a staple in your home (Staple)
The #1 played on your phone (Brrt Brrt)
On screen savers and all
I'm tryna conquer the world
And give back to my people (My people)
We above not equals (My people my people)
Reflecting on past
Hmm not right now
I'm focus on the future and where I'm at right now (Right now)
I need the spot light now
Heading to top like now (Right now)
No we can't stop right now (Right now)
Hoes who ain't want me on the cock right now (Now)
World is full of contradictions
I just don't get it (Cuz)
Speaking to y'all through lyrics (Cuz)
Hopefully a few could get (Cuz)
Cuz when talking face to face nobody listens
Reflection
Like when I'm looking in the mirror
Yea the vision getting clearer
I got vision in my ear like
My boy trust me you gon make it




You a star in the making reflection
