Reflection - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Every night up, far away from sleeping/

Something bothering my being, a part of me is being/

Devouring my thoughts, consumes my art like a museum/

Blind to what you never knew, maybe its time I let you see in/

On the way to my heaven I'm dodging demons/

That seem to have been with me since I have been on D shit/ (shit)

That's since a child or whatever/

Since a child I have learned that I should smile through whatever/

Extinguished candles on a cake don't mean a wish is made/

Or wishing well, I wish you well when you skipping change/

Its hard to know if you are working hard enough/

When you ain't sure if ya own pops give a flying fuck/ (what)

Tryna ruin me as I'm blooming/

Like stepping on flower during spring showers/

And though we've made up that shit has stuck with me/

Staring at my emotions as they trouble me/

This is just reflection

Will everything be alright/

This is just reflection/

Will everything be alright/

This is just reflection/

Torturing myself with old memories/

Or were they nightmares seeing I live a dream/

I remember breaking down thinking I can't take it now/

Why the hell is all of this happening to me/

I was just young, dumb and hopeful/

Banking on the unsure while being boastful/

I thought I lost it all a few years back/

About the same time that I got my tears back/

Cuz lord knows that I hadnt cried since the year my brother died/

Emotions, I couldn't feel that/

I felt like my world had gone up in flames/

Til I woke to tomorrow and made sense of this change/

I ain't expressing my misery for sympathy/

This is to identify, see what you could live to be/

Hear the beauty in my lines, audio caligraphy/

Truth got you feeling like you mirror me/

This is just reflection/
