Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, hello?
Uh, where, where he at?
I think he awake though (hol' up)

There's somethin' knockin' loud on my window, ooh (oh, we outside though)
But mirrors all I see (yeah, ooh, hello)
Who could that be at my window? Ooh (we-we-we, we outside)
(Get yo' ass down here)
Said, all I see is me (ooh)

I don't ever trip, I don't ever sit down (hey)
Hit me on my hip, we gon' shut that shit down
Tryna get a grip, I don't wanna fall down (down)
Down (down), down, ayy, ayy
I don't ever trip, I don't ever sit down (bye, bye)
Hit me on my hip, we gon' shut that shit down
Tryna get a grip, I don't wanna fall down (down)
Down (down), down, ayy, ayy

Now look, I caught rabbits way before rappin' (fuck)
Way before they cared if I looked unhappy
I mean way before Michael Jackson looked nappy (yeah-yeah)
Way before the blonde hair, blue-eyed tactics, uh (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
I know mistakes get pushed to the masses
I read the how to's pushin' black magic
I'm hooded up stars and my view birth accidents
Seven months later, you be crawlin', my bafflement
Out the packagin', how to's nada
Press play, I recharge, so run, Roger
Planted that seed so my tree lives longer
My daughter got eyes on the prize like her mama, I'm ashamed

There's somethin' knockin' loud on my window
(Hey wait, somebody lookin' out the window) ooh
(I think he's lookin' there)
But mirrors all I see (yeah, ooh, hey, hey, my man)
Who could that be at my window?
(Hey, my man, somebody, somebody get the window)
Ohh, oh (you think he switchin')
Sayin' all I see is me (ooh)

I don't ever trip, I don't ever sit down (hey)
Hit me on my hip, we gon' shut that shit down
Tryna get a grip, I don't wanna fall down (down)
Down (down), down, ayy, ayy
I don't ever trip, I don't ever sit down
Hit me on my hip, we gon' shut that shit down
Tryna get a grip, I don't wanna fall down (down)
Down (down), down, ayy, ayy

We on the edge of my bed
You know I can't cut my dreads
You got me missin' my ex
I'll put the X on my soul
You know the karma I dread
I mean I love you to death
You know the butterflies roam
I took a trip to your home
I heard the stereotypin', I quit
Call me accountable, yes
Bury this out to my kin
Drown like a fish in the sink
Rappers in plastic, I waste
Look at me feedin' this kid, diapers all in my crib

(Uh, yeah-yeah)
There's somethin' knockin' loud on my window
(Hey wait, somebody lookin' out the window) ooh
(I think he's lookin' there)
But mirrors all I see (yeah, ooh, hey, hey, my man)
Who could that be at my window?
(Hey, my man, somebody, somebody get the window)
Ooh (you think he switchin')
Sayin' all I see is me (ooh)

I don't ever trip, I don't ever sit down (hey)
Hit me on my hip, we gon' shut that shit down
Tryna get a grip, I don't wanna fall down (down)
Down (down), down, ayy, ayy
I don't ever trip, I don't ever sit down (bye, bye)
Hit me on my hip, we gon' shut that shit down
Tryna get a grip, I don't wanna fall down (down)
Down (down), down, ayy, ayy

I just don't understand what this nigga doin' (well workin')
I guess he's just gon' ignore us (uh, uh)
Man, let me just go home (yeah)




Rude-ass nigga (who is that? Fuck that)
Said, all I see is me

Overall Meaning

The song "Mirrors" by Cam O'Bi, Snoh Aalegra, and Rejjie Snow is a reflection on self-perception and the challenges that come with self-awareness. The opening verse sets the stage with the sound of someone knocking on a window, and the artist wonders who it could be, only to realize that the only thing reflected in the mirrors around them is themselves. The chorus emphasizes this idea, that no matter who comes knocking on their window, they ultimately only see themselves, and they have to learn to navigate their own struggles.


The second verse touches on the idea of staying grounded in the face of success and not forgetting where one came from. The artist reflects on their own journey, having caught rabbits before they were ever a rapper or famous, and they caution against getting caught up in the hype of the industry. They talk about the importance of planting seeds for the future and pass that idea on to their daughter, who has "eyes on the prize." The final verse explores the complexity of relationships and the consequences of actions, as well as the struggle to stay true to oneself in the face of criticism and stereotyping.


Overall, "Mirrors" is a song about confronting oneself and the struggles that come with it, in order to move forward and grow. It's about balancing success with humility, and learning to see oneself clearly despite the pressures and expectations of others.
