Mirror
Lil'Wayne Lyrics

With everything happening today
With all the chaos and confusion going on in the world

You don't know whether you're coming or going
It's hard to keep track of what's happening and where you're headed

But you think that you're on your way
You believe that you're making progress towards your goals

Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it
Your life is reflected in the mirror, don't mess it up

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
Pay attention to what I'm saying

You looking at me but I'm lookin' through you
You're physically looking at me, but mentally you're elsewhere

I see the blood in your eyes
I can tell that you're angry or upset

I see the love in disguise
You're hiding your true feelings of love behind a mask

I see the pain hidden in your pride
Your pride is masking your pain

I see you're not satisfied
You're not happy with your current situation

And I don't see nobody else
I don't see anyone else around who can empathize

I see myself I'm looking at the
I see myself in you

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
I'm reflecting in the mirror yet again

Through my rise and fall
Through my successes and failures

You've been my only friend
The mirror has been my only companion

You told me that they can understand the man I am
The mirror tells me that others can relate to who I am

So why are we here talkin' to each other again
Why do I find myself talking to the mirror again?

I see the truth in your lies
I see through the lies you tell yourself

I see nobody by your side
You're alone in this struggle

But I'm with you when you re all alone
The mirror is always there for you when you're lonely

And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
The mirror reminds you when you're making bad choices

I see that guilt beneath the shame
You're ashamed of what you've done, but the mirror sees the guilt

I see your soul through your window pain
The pain in your life gives me a glimpse into your soul

I see the scars that remain
The emotional scars from your past still haunt you

I see you Wayne, I'm lookin' at the
I see the real you, Lil' Wayne

Lookin' at me now I can see my past
Reflecting on my life, I see my past mistakes and triumphs

Damn I look just like my fuckin' dad
I resemble my father, both physically and emotionally

Light it up, that's smoke at mirrors
Don't be fooled by illusions and deception

I even look good in the broken mirror
Even though I'm broken, I still have value and worth

I see my momma smile that's a blessin'
Seeing my mother happy is a blessing for me

I see the change, I see the message
I see that things are shifting and there's a lesson to be learned

And no message could been any clearer
The message couldn't be any more obvious

So I'm starting with the man in the
I'm starting with myself

MJ taught me that
Michael Jackson taught me the importance of self-reflection

Hey BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time
Lil Wayne successfully transported his listeners to another place through his music

So why are we talkin' to each other again
Why am I talking to the mirror once more?
