[Verse 1: MCsk** ThaPreacha]
I'm staring at the man in the mirror
I'm telling him you can do it son, be the public figure
The one known for the good life
The one who never leave your thoughts black, check my roots man its all white
And ain't talking about no skin color
I got my white tees on and Nike airforce, i can't stop
Rapping Its a religion
The man in the mirror, we of the same genes, now that's true religion
You stay talking about how the economy is all bad
You stay talking about how politicians getting fat
When you held public office did you remember that?
But when your tenure is gone, you keep saying crap
Exposing secrets, playing the hero villain
So you claiming you got balls now 'cos you watch AC Milan?
Be the change you want, cos it begins with you
Starting with the man in the mirror, son that's you
[Hook: Freeborn]
I'm not your reflection
In the mirror, that's you
Looking back at you
You're the man in the mirror x2
[Verse 2: MCsk** ThaPreacha]
You preach stop the violence
But later in the day, you gon metamorphize into an henchman
Spilling blood, nothing personal just business right?
I'm feeling hurt by the kind of wrong you do with your life
We all trust and love you
I mean we all trusted and loved you, now n***as curse you
Time to redeem yourself
Time to let go of the wealth that you made k**ing people, its depleting your health
Now you gotta listen to a brother
Who survived the shackles of life, a freeman i'm richer
I flow deeper now, richer with knowledge now
Doing everything possible to increase the mileage now
Look in the mirror, stare into your eyes
What u see? A good man in disguise of a k**er?
Be the change you want cos it begins with you
Starting with the man in the mirror, son that's you
[Bridge: Freeborn]
A caterpillar turns bu*terfly
An egg if you don't fry will fly
Evolution is what we require
Your thoughts you need to rewire x2
[Hook: Freeborn]
I'm not your reflection
In the mirror, that's you
Looking back at you
You're the man in the mirror x2
