[Verse 1: Mibbs]

Looking in the mirror everyday I get older

Learn from the past everyday I get stronger

I like to get high, but it’s great to be sober

Yesterday was hard, but it made me a soldier

You don’t get nothing if you don’t work hard

You can’t earn stripes if you never had scars

There’s way more to life than money and nice cars

You are who you are

You might be a bum, you could be a star

You might be a prisoner fighting behind bars

You tryna find peace, I'mma try to find God

You searching for your destiny we trying to find ours

The blood in my heart's pumping for the the right cause

And I get that same feeling when I hear that old Nas

[Verse 2: BeYoung]

He said the world was ours, just gotta play your part

Shoot for the stars like you trying to hit Mars

Shine in the dark and I bet you’ll never lose

Glanced in the mirror and I’d seen I had to the tools

Awake to my ways still I’d rather hit snooze

Can’t fuck with the news, let the channels flip through

Put us in a cage, what that habitat do

Try to break us down like we handicap fool

Fish out of water like we vandicamp dude

Nobody supposed to eat if the family can’t move

[Verse 3: Like]

And the family can’t lose, long as we got each other

Long as we all loyal, long as we all brothers

I called my pops the other day to tell him that I love him

For giving me the opportunity to make it out the gutter

A lot of us was fortunate to even have a mother

A lot of us got intuition that we ain’t discovered

A lot of us got fears that we need to overcome

We done seen too many tears fall underneath the sun

Don’t wanna see no blood shed in the years to come

So we praying up to heaven hoping that he is the one

When times getting nearer, the sky's getting clearer

You searching for the truth, that guy's in the mirror

Deep down inside, past the lies that you hearing

Open up your heart to the light and the spirit

Despite the appearance, have courage and pride

It’s survival of the fittest only for the wise and the fearless

Love's the emotion, vibe to the lyrics

Years down the line I’ll probably cry when I hear this

Embrace who I am, never try to be different

Mama seen the king in my eyes as an infant

Started off small, little guy on the benches

Fighting so long, felt like I was in the trenches

Destined for greatness, divine intervention

Discover who you are, define the invention in the mirror

In the mirror
