Man in the mirror by El steve Lyrics
[Intro]
Man in the mirror
He taught me how to put my trust in God
Depend on him no matter what the problem is
He taught me how to put my trust in God, I mean, I really hope you listen to this
[Verse 1]
I remember times when I strayed away
Then I looked to the mirror he told me come and stay
Close to me, what kinda call is this?
So I looked through the window hoping that no one noticed this
At some point I was scared, so i took the battle in
I found this courage not the one seen on the TV screen
So I went close by, series of conversations and we talked about these things, we talked about these things
Highs and lows, ways opened, ways closed
Doubts and fears, my happiness and tears
And all these things that bring me down
And how these people see me now
My pain is what you're hearing now
I'm craving for God's healing now
Talk about the times when people used to betray me boy,(uh)
Put your trust in God but homie I put these people on
Stuff gon' hit me hard still thinking 'I gotta walk alone or give these guys a chance?'
But they gonna hurt me more
Trust issues awakened(yeah), how they all gon' stake me
Epiphany of my illicit ways they gon' disgrace me
I see Visions of me boy, I'm tryna face it
Maybe i wasn't real ,but I am no longer faking
Take a deep breath he told me
Is it you, or people around you that harm you?
Still thinking i got this? No no no, no you don't
There's a God above you Steve, your stronghold
[Bridge]
Time when I was talking about what's going on in my head, and I was complaining about stuff that I wasn't supposed to complain about as a child of God, he drew my attention back, telling me there's a God who's willing to walk with me if only I trust in him, if only I trust him, I mean like...but I still complained tho', I was like....
[Verse 2]
See I've been stressed, this life is stressing
That if a man die meh, I feel like next
Buh in my head I always underline this text
'I ain't scared to die, but I'm scared to live'
Look are you listening, or you disregarding
The words that I spit out ain't normal, these are emotions
But I ain't gon' take my life simply because i pass through hard times
Hard times are lessons, they are our primes
But when you read through these lines
You gonna find out in time, that I ain't the only one of these kinda people in town
That's why i keep all my struggles enclosed inside of my head
But i ain't gon' talk about these struggles when my stressed life is dead
What kinda mindset is this? Bro you negative
I told you God is always with you since your genesis
What, you tried complaining that this life is frustrating?
All you do is keep it in your head you don't even pray about it!
They try to ask me 'how's your life bro?'
I always tell them that im fine tho'
At times I lie, i hate the question wen it pops up cos
I'm about to let a lie go
Smiling faces on the outside (yeah)
But we crying on the inside
I thought this beat was long enough
That I try to put my story on
Sorry you couldn't, but you ain't alone
We gon' be okay
