I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry my vision was blurry but everything got clearer
Mama I got you forever you know that your boy gon' go get it
It ain't nothing I'm fearing I gotta provide the right life for my children
I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry my vision was blurry but everything got clearer
Mama I got you forever you know that your boy gon' go get it
It ain't nothing I'm fearing I gotta provide the right life for my children
I done got money and thought that my problems would all disappear
And take a nigga's whole life to do shit I did in a year
I do it for Daisha, I do it for Nyla, I do it for men
I do it for Casey and Kyrie and Kobe they know that I'm near
The time that it took me to get where I'm at niggas couldn't compare
I think of Jabari, I think about Jay and I gotta be there
I know the influence, I got it inspired and walked out of fire
So much around me not hard to think that I supply it
Whatever you want you can buy it, it then got harder to deny it
Got one of them souls they never could buy it
You play with your nose, I never could try it
But you could come cop it if it's in your diet
You know I smell like I came out to dryer
Gonna write my name, sure that got some pride
Standing on base I'm pious
Smoking right here if you feel like he got on a wire
I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry my vision was blurry but it then got clearer
Mama I got you forever you know that your boy gon' go get it
It ain't nothing I'm fearing I gotta provide the right life for my children
Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry my vision was blurry but it then got clearer
Mama I got you forever you know that your boy gon' go get it
It ain't nothing I'm fearing I gotta provide the right life for my children
I'm going to war so I'm the chosen one
I'm pulling the sword out the stone, providing the light
But I can't always be there to see it with you so my heart always torn
Cut from a different cloth and it's the same one to keep the family warm
And every time I see you smile it's like a crack of sunshine and a crazy storm
If it's us against the world everybody getting buried
Everywhere you step gon' be a cemetery
And there's angels round us for preliminaries
Plus cash rules everything around me
So they see us like we been in jail
We're trying to catch you slippin' but I taught you five P's
Poor performance gets prevented by the proper preparation
Long as I'm here we haven't had one
We seeing doves everywhere we go like we Raekwon, ODB, Ghostface
And you know it's methods to the madness
Hardhead I ain't getting patted
From here on out I'm going John Madden giving game every year
But it still **** the system though I put it on the album
I really think I'm going ghost status
I really think I'm matching my potential from the product of me
Just finally locking in and dropping old habits
Buddah's for the crib, you know where to find me
Doing this here for Noah, Hasani and sisters
Mommy and all of his aunties, they always can count on me
I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry my vision was blurry but it then got clearer
Mama I got you forever you know that your boy gon' go get it
It ain't nothing I'm fearing I gotta provide the right life for my children
Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry my vision was blurry but it then got clearer
Mama I got you forever you know that your boy gon' go get it
It ain't nothing I'm fearing I gotta provide the right life for my children
Man in the mirror
I used to worry my vision was blurry but it then got clearer
