Mirror

Song: Mirror

Artist: Lil' Wayne feat. Bruno Mars

 

I don't listen to a lot of rap music but I really like this song. I like the lyrics. I like the overall message of trying to understand yourself. About trying to really see yourself and who you are. How your life experiences have shaped you and made you the person that you are today. That know one really knows you the way you know you. That sometimes, you're the only one who's been there for you. But most of all, and if I'm being real here, it's because of this part: "I see the change, I see the message. And no message could've been any clearer so I'm startin' with the man in the...mirror on the wall...MJ taught me that." MJ FOREVER! Favorite Michael song referenced. I approve this message ;)

 

*WARNING* I couldn't find a clean version of this song with the youtube link .... please MUTE the song in the third verse that begins: "Looking at me now I can see my past, I look just like my dad." I'm so sorry for the explicit word used, that kind of language is not welcome here at MIMT!! This is such a great song, why go and ruin it using a word like that Wayne!? Why!? One major reason I don't listen to rap music in the first place.....#soannoyed

 

 

With everything happening today

You don't know whether you're coming or going

But you think that you're on your way

Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it, woo.

Look at me when I'm talking to you

You looking at me but I'm looking through you
I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you're not satisfied
And I don't see nobody else
I see myself I'm looking at the...

 

Mirror on the wall (Ooh), here we are again (Yeah)
Through my rise and fall (Uh)
You've been my only friend (Yeah)
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?

Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I'm with you when you're all alone

And you correct me when I'm looking wrong

I see the guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pane
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne, I'm looking at the...

Mirror on the wall, here we are again (Yeah)
Through my rise and fall (Uh-Huh)
You've been my only friend (my only friend)
You told me that they can understand the man I am (they can understand)
So why are we here (misunderstood) talkin' to each other again?

Looking at me now I can see my past

I look just like my dad

Light it up, that's smoke in mirrors

I even look good in the broken mirror

I see my mamma smile–that's a blessing

I see the change, I see the message
And no message could've been any clearer
So I'm startin' with the man in the...

Mirror on the wall,

MJ taught me that. :)

Here we are again
Through my rise and fall (Uh)
You've been my only friend

Take 'em to Mars man

You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we talkin' to each other again?

Uh...

Mirror on the wall (Ooh), here we are again (Yeah)
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend (Any questions?)
You told me that they can (I come to you)

Understand the man I am (You always have the answer)
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?

Mirror on the wall.

Ay, B.P.

Looks like I did take 'em to Mars this time

So why are we talking to each other again?

 

 

P.S. Guess what? Today marks my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of getting my driver's license!! Wow. I've come a long way since a year ago .... at least when it comes to driving.
