Reflect by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Always aimin' high, wanna be the best
The rat race is a never ending quest
All the time and the money I invest
All the messages written and addressed
The people on the other end thinking I'm obsessed
No one gettin' back, feel a bit depressed
Tryin' to get the universe to manifest
But I never would've guessed that I'd have her on my side, down to ride
I also never would've guessed that I'd make it this far and it doesn't matter who you are
'Cause you know that I'm bringin' home a sound that you've never heard before and I got one foot in the door
I'm about to break it down by force and those who wouldn't vouch will be forced to endorse as I alter the game
Tryin' to tell me that you didn't see me coming?
I'm a wolf in a sheepskin and I'm bout to fuckin' run it
[Chorus]
Gonna take some time to reflect on some of the things that I've wrecked
As well as what I'm to expect from the next step
Sometimes you have to take a step back and reflect
[Verse 2]
Now I got a little surprise
But I'm not one to advertise
But I'm about to start a franchise
And I've always got my eyes on the skies
And I only want you to recognize what's goin' on
Inside of you where the pain lies, never tellin' the truth, it denies you a real life just 'cause of some shit that you went through
I get it, like said I wouldn't sweat it, don't regret it if I met you then I'd bet you that I'd get to know you for a couple minutes
I could tell you not to let it upset you 'cause it'll pass, I can see it in your eyes, you're gonna put this on it's ass
Now you gotta hit the gas and take it on you can do it even if you fail, no
It isn't a defeat we all get a second chance if we're standin' up on our feet
[Chorus]
Gonna take some time to reflect on some of the things that I've wrecked
As well as what I'm to expect from the next step
Sometimes you have to take a step back and reflect
[Verse 3]
Down to ride with those really by my side even if I'm busy or pre-occupied
Still stragglin' alongside so it's hard to hide all of the feelings I try to keep inside
'Cause I've met so many people and the lot of 'em were fake, just trying to eat a piece my cake
Now I make damn sure that whether you're a him or a her that you're always on the up and up, yup
And it doesn't matter how you view the cup 'cause now it's overflowin' and whether it was half gone or full isn't the example
When you're the one that put the liquid in the glass fool so now I'm gonna ask you if you're still blamin' all your lack of progress on the girl in
The red dress when the world around you isn't what it seems, that's why we're sharin' memes cause we're all on a path to destruct
Yeah, we're probably fucked
[Chorus]
Gonna take some time to reflect on some of the things that I've wrecked
As well as what I'm to expect from the next step
Sometimes you have to take a step back and reflect
[Bridge]
Yea, I'm always reflecting to be the best version I can be
Loyal to myself, but always down to ride
Yea, I'm always reflecting to be the best version I can be
Loyal to myself, but always down to ride
Yea, I'm always reflecting to be the best version I can be
Loyal to myself, but I'm always down to ride
Yea, I'm always reflecting to be the best version I can be
Loyal to myself, but I'm always down to ride
Always aimin' high, wanna be the best
The rat race is a never ending quest
All the time and the money I invest
