Reflect 

When you gon’ learn!? 

Seems like you’re never fi’n get it!!  

That gangsta stuff got you and your big brother life in prison!  

And at the end of the day, what can you do with recognition!?  

From someone who can’t recognize their purpose, don’t have a vision;  

You say: you hear me, but you don’t listen—all these words are meant to hurt;  

‘Cause we tried everything else, but nothing really seems to work;  

You always had a good heart, but you let prison make you  

Worse;  

You find pleasure seeing other people in pain… you really  

Need some work;  

You need some soul-searching!  

You need some guidance!

You really need some help!  

You think you got it all figured out, but you can’t do it by yourself;  

I know you battle with depression, so you love to take those pills;  

You love that feeling you feel, but I’ma tell you it ain’t real;  

It’s all in your head—just learn to control your emotions and thoughts;  

Be conscious of the energy that you put out, because it all comes back, 

and the same applies to the message in your raps;  

‘Cause when you abuse that influence, you can’t reverse that impact!  

 

Reflect

Damage done – bad karma comes, you just gotta face it then;  

Never look too far for answers, because they all lie within;  

I understand how you feel, I know it seems your life’s been spiraling;  

And you’re just trying to get a grip, like you’ve been rock climbing in  

rainy weather – rough terrain, comes with every walk of life;  

You made it this far, just keep moving towards the light;  

Focus on the big picture and…  

Don’t worry about them photo-bombing;  

Crop ’em all out and do you, without no photo-shopping.
