Reflections
B.B. Manik Lyrics

You steady trapped in a maze
You are consistently stuck in a confusing and difficult situation

Stirring the pot
Causing trouble or instigating conflicts

Thinking you gave all that you got
Believing that you have given your maximum effort

Not really trapped in a maze see
Actually not trapped in a confusing situation, contrary to belief

You must've forgot who
You seem to have forgotten about

Turning the page you
Moving forward or progressing

Who calling the shots
Who is in control or making the decisions

I need a little bit
I require a small portion

I ain't wanting a lot
I don't desire a large amount

That's inconsiderate
That lack of concern or thought for others

Just give me the guap
Simply provide me with the money or resources

Ain't speaking knots I'm illiterate
Not speaking in complicated or unclear terms; I lack understanding

I do this for block must've forgot
I do this for the neighborhood or community; you must have forgotten about it

Not for self so ain't no way I'm gone flop
Not for personal gain, so there's no possibility of failure

I'm a man of my words
I am someone who keeps their promises

But a man of my flaws
However, I am also someone who possesses imperfections

Want some actions reversed
Desire to change or undo certain actions taken

After damage they caused
After the negative consequences brought about by those actions

Who don't wanna rehearse
Who doesn't want to practice or prepare

For when you get out the dark
For when you overcome difficult or challenging times

I put my fears in a hearse
I no longer let my fears hold me back

I put my tears in a jar
I collect and keep my emotions bottled up

See I struggled a bit
It is evident that I faced difficulties

Stumble don't trip
If you stumble or make mistakes, don't fret

Nowadays it's your life
Currently, your life is under your control

That's the cost of a slip
That's the consequence of making a mistake

Putting caution to wind
Acting without being overly careful or cautious

I know my cause to the end
I am aware of my purpose or goal until its completion

I'm a dog with no den
I am a person without a stable or permanent home

I made a home with the sin
I have become accustomed or comfortable with wrongdoing

I get it done
I successfully complete tasks or achieve goals

Eating all that I can ain't leaving crumbs
Taking full advantage of opportunities without wasting any resources

When they asking where I'm from
When people inquire about my origins or background

I lead a path into the dung
I pave a way into unfavorable or unpleasant situations

In the lab I'm super sav
In my creative space, I am extremely skilled or knowledgeable

Do the dash into the sun
Move quickly and energetically towards success or personal growth

On the humb no subtle brag
Humbly achieving success without boasting or being arrogant

I ain't flashing just for fun I ain't wid it
I don't show off or display extravagance just for the sake of it; that's not my style

Pulling strings like I'm knitting
Exerting influence or control over a situation like a skilled knitter

See my grave in the distance
Acknowledging the inevitability of death in the future

So I play my position like I was training Olympics
Therefore, I assume my role or responsibilities with dedication and determination

Homies going for gold
My friends are striving for the highest level of success

We ain't selling no souls
We refuse to compromise our values or integrity for personal gain

Track meet for the dough
Engaging in a competitive race or pursuit for money

Miss a step and you
If you make a mistake or falter
