Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wear brands you could cop at mall nigga these ain't vans you
Don't wear revenge storms, clothes make the man,
Can't wear what I wore, Run it like a relay,
Run it on the replay, hunnid on the freeway, woah.
I don't wanna speed race,
Reason why I need breaks, I just can't slow down."
I don't wear brands you could cop at mall nigga these ain't vans you
Don't wear revenge storms,
Clothes make the man, can't wear what I wore
Run it like a relay,
Run it on the replay, hunnid on the freeway, woah.
I don't wanna speed race,
Reason why I need breaks, I just can't slow down.
Got designer cuz I could nigga these Raf simons,
Side step in my reflectors cuz' the chrome like a mirror,
Need me more a little I get a cot and a villa,
And still be Coolin' wit my niggas that was on Centinela.
Reading price tags is like reading terms and conditions,
Now why the fuck would i do that I don't be paying attention,
Niggas faking they digits cuz' no one liking they pictures they
Hate the man in the mirror I hate the man in the middle, Yeah yeah.
Going up under bright blue skies,
Every night a summer night & we up past 2 A.
M
And we'll waste the night away, and we'll waste the night away
I don't even really like to talk,
I don't wear brands you could cop at mall nigga these ain't vans you
Don't wear revenge storms, clothes make the man,
Can't wear what I wore Run it like a relay, run it on the replay,
Hunnid on the freeway, woah,
I don't wanna speed race,
Reason why I need breaks, I just can't slow down."
I don't wear brands you could cop at mall nigga these ain't vans you
Don't wear revenge storms,
Clothes make the man, can't wear what I wore.
Run it like a relay, run it on the replay, hunnid on the freeway,
Woah, i don't wanna speed race,
Reason why I need breaks, I just can't slow down.
In "Man in the Mirror" by JERHELL, the artist speaks about his preferences for a low-key lifestyle and not being swayed by consumerism. He highlights his disinterest in name brands and flashy clothing, preferring to run it like a relay and move efficiently towards his goals. There is a desire to maintain a moderate pace and avoid overindulgence, but at the same time, there is a sense that the artist is on the move and cannot afford to slow down. The lyrics also touch on aspects of the rapper's individuality, reading price tags and paying attention to terms and conditions not being one of them, but there is still a sense of reflection and self-critique as he acknowledges a dislike for both the man in the mirror and the man in the middle.
The song showcases the importance of individuality and the reality of being human with flaws and desires. The lyrics suggest that we should focus more on what we need rather than what we want and not be consumed by the pressures of maintaining an image in a consumerist society. The artist recognizes his flaws but still strives to continue and be successful without becoming blinded by material possessions.
