Mirror
Lil Wayne Feat. Bruno Mars & Rick Ross Lyrics

Uh, with everything happening today
In the midst of all the current events, it’s hard to keep track of what's happening around you

You don't know whether you're coming or going
Life can be confusing and it’s easy to feel lost

But you think that you're on your way
Despite the confusion, there’s still a sense of direction

Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it (woo)
Take a good look at yourself and your goals, and don't mess it up

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
I need your full attention

You lookin' at me but I'm lookin' through you
You're not being genuine, and I can see right through that

I see the blood in your eyes
You're angry and hurt

I see the love in disguise
You're trying to hide your emotions behind a tough exterior

I see the pain hidden in your pride
Your ego is getting in the way of dealing with your pain

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

And I don't see nobody else
You're the only one in the room right now

I see myself, I'm looking at the
We're both looking at ourselves in the mirror

Mirror on the wall (woo), here we are again (yeah)
We're facing ourselves in the mirror once more

Through my rise and fall (uh)
Through my successes and failures

You've been my only friend (yeah)
The only one who understands me

You told me that they can understand the man I am
You've been the only one who has believed in me

So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
We're questioning why we're having the same conversation again

Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I understand that you're not being truthful

I see nobody by your side
You're alone and don't have anyone to turn to

But I'm with you when you're all alone
I'm here for you even when no one else is

And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
You call me out when I'm not behaving properly

I see the guilt beneath the shame
You feel guilty about something even though you're trying to hide it

I see your soul through your window pain
I can see the pain in your eyes, and it's a window into your soul

I see the scars that remain
There's still evidence of the pain you've experienced

I see you Wayne, I'm lookin' at the
I see you Lil Wayne, I see what you're going through

Lookin' at me now I can see my past
Looking at my reflection now, I see my history

Damn I look just like my fuckin' dad
I'm starting to realize I'm becoming more like my father, for better or worse

Light it up, that's smoke at mirrors
I'm trying to conceal my true self behind a façade

I even look good in the broken mirror
Even with my flaws, I can still find something to like about myself

I see my momma smile that's a blessin'
Seeing my mother happy is one of my greatest joys

I see the change, I see the message
I'm starting to understand the lessons I've learned and the progress I've made

And no message could been any clearer
The message is crystal clear

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

Ayy BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time
Looks like I finally did something that paid off
