Reflectย 

When you gon’ learn!?ย 

Seems like youโ€™re never fiโ€™n get it!!ย ย 

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

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

From someone who canโ€™t recognize their purpose, donโ€™t have a vision;ย ย 

You say: you hear me, but you donโ€™t listenโ€”all these words are meant to hurt;ย ย 

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

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

Worse;ย ย 

You find pleasure seeing other people in pain… you reallyย ย 

Need some work;ย ย 

You need some soul-searching!ย ย 

You need some guidance!

You really need some help!ย ย 

You think you got it all figured out, but you canโ€™t do it by yourself;ย ย 

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

You love that feeling you feel, but Iโ€™ma tell you it ainโ€™t real;ย ย 

It’s all in your headโ€”just learn to control your emotions and thoughts;ย ย 

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

and the same applies to the message in your raps;ย ย 

‘Cause when you abuse that influence, you canโ€™t reverse that impact!ย ย 

 

Reflect

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

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

I understand how you feel, I know it seems your lifeโ€™s been spiraling;ย ย 

And youโ€™re just trying to get a grip, like youโ€™ve been rock climbing inย ย 

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

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

Focus on the big picture andโ€ฆย ย 

Donโ€™t worry about them photo-bombing;ย ย 

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