"TWO WAY MIRROR" lyrics
(performed by nobigdyl., Torey D'Shaun & Mogli the Iceburg)
[nobigdyl.:]
Who do you say I am? (Who do you say that I am?)
Mirror, mirror on the wall (Well, alright)
Mirror, mirror on the wall (Uh-huh)
Mirror, mirror on the wall (Yeah)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Look into the mirror and what do you see, Doc?
A man ruined by influence of Hip-Hop (Uh-huh)
Mama tried but couldn't do it with Kidz Bop (Uh-huh)
A son of God that made Sodom a pit stop (Phew)
Saw forbidden fruit, decided to lip lock [*Kiss*]
And when they said jump, they didn't mean Kris Kross (Phew)
A couple Timberlands whenever the fist stop (Uh-huh)
A little bit of blood to make sure I kick rocks
Look into the mirror, and what did you see, God?
A soul trapped between fear and fear not
A black sheep that lost peace with his flock (What else?)
The heartbeat of St. Pete and Pete Rock (What else?)
My lost child is profiled, it's so foul and
Shared slop with pink sow since 2000 (Phew)
Come home to gold rings and see how what
Made Abraham and Moses now Gentiles
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
[Mogli the Iceburg:]
Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
Or further from the truth, whatever you wanna hear
A concave plane can twist the plain
To complex, what comes next
I'm too anxious to come near, uh
I often wonder how you look at me
Like, what's the difference in the way you see me now
And the way that you would see me otherwise
If I had made some choices differently
Is this a thing where I get agency?
'Cause if my wife told me that she loved everybody evenly
And didn't make an exception for me
(Let the reader understand)
I don't know the way I'd feel 'bout that
Although I know that your perspective like a tesseract (Don't let me go, Murph)
Your mystery to me is interstellar
I'm just tryin' to make a pale blue dot a little better
If I could see myself the way you see me
Then maybe I'd quit doing all the things you know that grieve me
[nobigdyl.:]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
[Torey D'Shaun:]
Look into the mirror, and what do you see, stranger?
A foreign land, a foreign man lookin' for danger
Third-world girl, might've been born in a manger
Good-for-nothin', low-down, despicable gang-banger
'Nother child without a father, that's his loss
Why can't he get a job, work harder to be a boss?
A criminal, menace to society, unredeemable
Repeat offender, so apology unbelievable
Look into the mirror and what do you see, friend?
A desperate man separated from close kin
An innocent baby girl birthed from gross sin
A quiet kid, villain arc started by evil men
Government secretly druggin' the ghetto the cause
Now he felon, so it's harder to be a boss
A hurt man been through so much, it's unbelievable
Jesus say, the repeat offender is still redeemable
[nobigdyl.:]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
