Mirrors
J.R. Donato Lyrics

Mirror mirror mirror mirror resting on wall
Addressing the mirror, asking it to reveal the truth

Please tell me who the flyest
Requesting the mirror to identify the most fashionable person

The most dapper of all
Referring to someone with impeccable style

It isn't you
Realizing that he himself is not the person with the highest style

Yo how the mirror start laughing
Surprised that the mirror is mocking him

Laugh at myself
Acknowledging self-deprecating humor

Should get the Oscar of rapping
Playfully suggesting his rap skills deserve recognition

Award season
Referring to the time when awards for achievements are given

I should get one for breathing
Humorously exaggerating his accomplishments by suggesting he should be recognized for the basic act of breathing

I passed the awkward stage
Expressing personal growth beyond an uncomfortable phase

I'm here for a reason
Believing in his purpose and significance

If only for a few
Recognizing that his purpose may only impact a small number of people

Just to share the message
His purpose is to spread a meaningful message

Got the antidote for the snake venom
Referring to his ability to counter negativity and deceit

Artist wit my words
Describing himself as skilled and creative with his lyrics

See how I make em blend with The beat
Highlighting his ability to seamlessly incorporate his lyrics with the music

This instrumental on crack
Emphasizing the high energy and intensity of the instrumental

If my mama here that line she'll say don't joke about that
Imagining his mother disapproving of his joking attitude

The families that suffered from the white cuz they black
Reflecting on the racial discrimination experienced by black families

Gotta gotta get used to my jargon
Encountering resistance or confusion due to his unique language

Yea I'm still poor
Admitting to his financial struggles

But don't have time for a bargain
Acting with determination and focus despite financial limitations

Life is rough but I'm a warrior Spartan
Acknowledging life's challenges but displaying resilience and strength

I promise not to break like some eggs without cartons
Committing to staying strong and not succumbing to difficulties

Maneuver kinda militant
Approaching life with discipline and strategy

Be doing due diligence
Taking thorough and careful action

I truly be killing em
Confidently asserting his ability to impress and captivate others

Starting office hours So I could be billing em
Adopting a professional mindset to monetize his talents and skills

What's the end game
Questioning the ultimate goal or purpose

Maybe touch a few million
Aspiring to impact and inspire a large number of people

Not talking about the money
Clarifying that the goal is not solely focused on financial success

I'm talking bout lives
Highlighting the importance of making a positive difference in people's lives

To lend a helping hand that's the greatest of prize
Recognizing that assisting others is a rewarding and honorable achievement

As I wrote that line got some water in eyes
Getting emotional while reflecting on the significance of his words

I gotta make it
Expressing the determination to achieve success

All the things I've been through
Acknowledging the challenges and experiences he has faced

Against all odds I've been labeled quite odd
Despite facing obstacles, he has been perceived as different or unusual

Trynna tell em Normal don't change the planet
Attempting to convey that conforming to societal norms doesn't lead to significant impact or change

That goes over their heads
Recognizing that others struggle to comprehend this concept

Yo they don't understand it
Expressing frustration that others fail to grasp his perspective

It's ok I didn't understand either
Accepting that he also used to be ignorant of these ideas

Had to do my homework
Engaging in self-education and research to gain understanding

Now I be a believer
Having gained knowledge and perspective, he now wholeheartedly believes in his message

Gotta watch the ones who quick to pick up receiver
Advising to be cautious of people who readily engage in gossip or hearsay

Just to talk gossip
Highlighting the negative and unproductive nature of gossip

Loose lips sink ships
Stating the well-known adage that careless talk can have harmful consequences

Mirror mirror Please keep it a buck
Requesting the mirror to be truthful and honest

Would life be easier if I don't
Wondering if life would be less challenging without certain qualities or characteristics

Mirror mirror Please keep it a stack
Asking the mirror to provide genuine and sincere feedback

Would life be easier if my skin wasn't black
Contemplating the potential difficulties faced due to racial discrimination

Not everything bout race is you kidding
Stating that not every aspect of life is solely defined by one's race

Not everything perfect like an unneutered kitten
Highlighting that perfection is not common or guaranteed in life

Things is outta hand just like losing one mitten
Comparing a situation getting out of control to misplacing one item from a pair

Or maybe a sock
Continuing the analogy of losing something small and seemingly insignificant

I'm all about the chance
Emphasizing his willingness to take risks and seize opportunities

Go up and down like the stock
Referring to the volatility and unpredictability of stock market investments

I'm taking stock
Assessing and evaluating his current situation

I'm taking inventory
Reflecting on his resources, skills, and progress

Fall to my knees
Expressing humility and surrender in the face of challenges

What does God want for me
Questioning his purpose or the path ordained by a higher power

I'm all up in your face
Asserting his presence and determination

It's kinda hard to ignore me
Suggesting that his impact is significant and difficult to overlook

When will I leave Time is winding up fast
Contemplating his mortality as time passes quickly

Mirror mirror How long will I last
Directly asking the mirror to reveal how much time he has left
