[Verse]

I'm feeling like I need to write this song

My mind cluttered like the space on the desk that I write this from

Filled with half-empty glasses from late nights sitting in darkness

Spent wondering where I went wrong

Been a minute since I didn't feel like I'd been gone

Somewhere in your city limits wherever the mic is on, you'll find me

With my man A Diddy right beside me

Hand on heavy heart I don't take this shit lightly

Pen in my hand from a four-star joint in a foreign land

Bought with the words of an honest man

Keep your dollars man, this ain't no cash for comment scam

Tryna document the mess we're in since the comet landed

For better or worse, we ride tandem

Whether it's fall or fly, I'm just that sort of guy

True kings don't demand respect, they command it

And inspire when all hope has been abandoned

But all I ever want to do is sit on the couch

Twist my worries in a spliff and blow em into the clouds

I'm sorry, you looking for Nick?

Well he isn't around

I ain't seen him, been a minute since he visited now

So if you see him would you give him a pound, tell him we miss him

Tell him his mama love, she wanna hug him and kiss him

Tell him not to think about doing nothing stupid

Just to go off the map and come up missing-listen-

My ears ringing from the bombs that I've dropped

But you can hear the crowd roar, they don't want me to stop

And what would I do if I did? This is all that I got

That feeling I get up my spine when I'm rocking the spot

So honest to God, you gonna get it whether you want it or not

Johnny on the spot, representing for the Horrorsquad

I'm on and on till the break of dawn, I flow deep

My crew's No-Doz so don't sleep,

Till you lost your sheep like Little Bo Peep

Now you're tryna solve some problems that you just don't need

While I conquer obstacles and proceed

To my sweet release as I go free


[Hook]

So when you're looking in that mirror what you gonna see?

Is it who you are? Who you pretend to be?

Facing off with your own worst enemy

The same as it's always been, you gotta set yourself free

So when you're looking in that mirror what you gonna see?

Is it who you are? Who you pretend to be?

Facing off with your own worst enemy

The same as it'll always be, you gotta set yourself free


[Bridge: Solo]

I can see it all from right here

I don't know what's holding me back

Vision blurred but I'm seeing so clear

I wonder if I missed my chance

And I can see it all from right here

And I gotta push through it

"I'm living for the one day whatever may come"

I wanna see it done so I'll be the one to do it


[Hook]

So when you're looking in that mirror what you gonna see?

Is it who you are? Who you pretend to be?

Facing off with your own worst enemy

The same as it's always been, you gotta set yourself free

So when you're looking in that mirror what you gonna see?

Is it who you are? Who you pretend to be?

Facing off with your own worst enemy

The same as it'll always be, you gotta set yourself free
