Reflections in the Mirror by The Game Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see Donnie from the block try’na stay afloat
He in the middle of a lake with no paddle boat
With no safety, they try’na take D
To a place where suicide is healthy
Stuck in a one-man box filled with anger
Luger to his temple with a bullet in the chamber
Suicide note to his mom and his brother
Text to his dad and another to his lover
Life gettin’ heavy on Donnie, he couldn't take it
Mind started eroding, body couldn't take it
Gone off them Ecstasy tabs and evеn Heroin
Everyday drug - treat it likе it's medicine
Gone off the deep end, six-feet sleepin’
Death around the corner, Rigor Mortis crept in
Body turn cold, heart stop racin’
Sow no more - life's been taken
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
It's like Sherry from the Hills had a good escape
Until she ran into the pain of bein’ raped
She never told a soul, kept her mouth closed
Too afraid of her secret bein’ exposed
Her father took advantage at an early age
Momma never knew but if she did she'd turn in her grave
Nowhere to run to, feelin’ like god's mistake
She sold herself to the streets as life's escape
No trust for men, that was broken
Stay soft spoken goin’ thru the motions
Body turn cold, heart stop racin’
Sow no more - life's been taken
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Some men don't and some men got it
Find yourself and start cleanin’ out your closets
You see the devil in the mirror
You're lookin’ at yourself and your vision’s gettin’ clearer
Seen it from a mile away you can't tell me
Kill yourself like the 'Marshall Mathers LP'
Go ahead and do it, it's goin’ down
Grab the TEC, spin the barrel, cock it back
You know what's next
Let me guide you, an angel is beside you
Follow me, don't do it I'll revive you
I'll bring hope in your life - you're needed!
You're necessary to this world - believe it!
He try’na steal your joy, he try’na take you
I follow your path to try to save you
Stay true, stay wise, stay you - stay loyal
Don't let it break you!
