[Intro:CHL]

CHL

It's about to get real serious


[Hook:CHL]

Mirror Mirror on the wall

When I look into you

I don't see myself at all

Mirror Mirror on the wall

When I look into you

I don't see myself at all

Mirror Mirror on the wall

When I look into you

I don't see myself at all

Mirror Mirror on the wall

When I look into you

I don't see myself at all


[Verse 1:CHL]

Grew up

Idolizing and NWA

Lived the street life

Thought I would die that way

Twenty Three

But I say back in the day

Because back in the day

I used to get that pay

Everything was peaceful

Till I got kidnapped

Went and got that click clack

Ready to pull your wig back

Nine years old

And I am fronting with my tool

While all my classmates

Were out acting a fool

Playing B ball

Making all the shots

While two blocks over

I was running from the cops

My parents switched my school

For Security

So young

Wasn't ready for this maturity

Grew up fast

I was the man of the house

Before I could legally

Even have a damn spouse

Never thought

That I would make it this far

Thought I would be dead

Or either locked behind bars


[Hook:CHL]


[Verse 2:CHL]

Couple years later

It was all good

Hard work and hustling

Got us out the hood

Happy for a while

Till granny got sick

Then lots more emotions

Got thrown in the mix

Family fighting

Over Bullshit

Love my relatives

But it made me sick

Meanwhile

Back at my mama's house

Abusive bastard

Trying to be her new spouse

Trying to be my dad

Like I don't have one

Pops worked his ass off

You a lazy bum

Only trying to be my dad

Because you were one

Till all three disowned you

You little fucking scum

I was my family savior

Looked out for everyone

Trying to make peace

Because I was the only son

Never thought that the sinner

Would become a saint

Even god was surprised

Yeah he had to faint


[Hook:CHL]


[Verse 3:CHL]

Went away to college

Trying to be a better man

Work in music change lives

That was my better plan

Until I realized

The Awful truth

That lead me rapping

Here up in this booth

When you help them

The only time they care

You're just a piece of shit

If you not there

After all I did for my family

They left me begging for change

That's insanity

Select few

Help me off my back

And I love them forever

That's a real fact

Started dealing again

Just to eat food

My cousin attacked me

Wasn't in the mood

And a few girls ruined my life too

No children

But I was supposed to have two

Went a little crazy

Talk about it next verse

Just know that this the truth

And the truth hurts


[Hook:CHL]


[Verse 4:CHL]

They say when you look in the mirror

Things are supposed to get

A little clearer

My life is foggy

Like I had a seizure

Because I have epilepsy

And it's not a leisure

Working hard

All these late nights

No sleep a trigger

So I'm risking my life

Search for happiness

In the wrong places

Do whatever drug I want

Ain't worried about the laces

Back when I was dealing

No high on the supply

Now I do a line of Coke

And I start to fly

Recognize the dangers

Don't care if I die

Recognize the dangers

Don't care if I die

When I'm sober

I start to think

I stare in the mirror

But I never blink

Got my eyes tested

Made sure that I could see

Because what I'm looking at

Is a different me
