Reflections
Rahn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know a lot of people living in the past tense 
See everything changed but my address 
Say that she remember when I had less 
Now I'm looking for somebody I can tag next 
Through my reflection 
Through my reflection 
I know a lot of people living in the past tense 
See everything changed but my address 
Say that she remember when I had less 
Now I'm looking for somebody I can tag next 
But she just wanna stay and cook food for me 
She can go and tell her friends 
What she do for me 
And I can't even get my brain off of you shorty 
I keep on thinking bout you and them 
Through my reflection 
I couldn't see why she received me 
I prolly played my keys like Stevie 
Maybe I treated you sweet like kiwi 
Through my reflection 
What I see give me the heebie jeebies 
You gone see me on the tv screen 
I'll make all this shit here look easy peasy
Time go fast 
But I'm Moving like I run a 40
4-flat 
Shit changed 
Feel like I would never go back 
Now I need a few chains and a gold plaque 
Couple cold raps 
Cold cut 
No sandwich 
Shots steady go up 
No damage 
Pops told me roll up 
No cabbage 
Cops wanna pull up 
Roll cameras
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be this cold
Thought it was but it wasn't and I should've know
Could of sworn it was a dub it ain't set in stone
Know that we could fuck it up 'till they send us home
We used to post up no caption
We used to make love no fabrics
Through my reflection 
I couldn't see why she received me 
I prolly played my keys like Stevie 
Maybe I treated you sweet like kiwi 
Through my reflection 
What I see give me the heebie jeebies 




You gone see me on the tv screen 
I'll make all this shit here look easy peasy
