Reflection

[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I feel like the wall's closing in
Must be the greaze, I'm masking pain
Through the hard times, I walk with a grin
But late nights, battling thoughts in my mind
I don't even know what I feel inside
Look in my eyes, you can see no feeling
Too many dramas, I can't find a reason
Let alone tryna sit down with a meaning
Sleep in the hood, always tryna get out
Bare man fire like there's only one exit
Know how I feel but I don't wanna talk
So I put it in a song, I was born with a blessing
Money started out as a thought
Now it's got the whole world stressing
Me, I touched down with the torch
Now I've got the whole ends finessing
Don't wanna reach, you got too much pride
When there's no one around but you're feeling alone
Sometimes, you've gotta just say how you feel
To the right person, it's like more than gold
I've had low ones myself
Too much stress ain't good for your health
Kinda felt like I came back from the dead
Cuh all I saw was red on bare things I read
Now I feel like I came back for the throne
Walk in the game like "honey, I'm home"
Man, I sit, think about the world that I live
Where knowledge ain't worth half the price of a brick
Yeah, I don't owe you shit
Hearing my bars, you can know that it's real
Some man move in the game like a crackhead
Everything you do, you're tryna find you a deal

[Chorus]
Know about stress, know about pain
Know about a friend and I know about snakes
Know about rap and I know about grime
Know about patience, know about time
Know about H•A•M and I know about rest
Know about life and I know about tests
Know about beef and I know about war
Know about mine, I don't know about yours

[Verse 2]
Life is good but as human beings
The one negative that will get your attention
Too many times, I was on the wrong road
Then I came back for redemption
Brain going round like a tornado
Me, I come through like a loaded shotty
Nuttin' but silence before they blow
Diamond flow like a rolling stone's
Rockstar life like a Rolling Stone
Can't tell man twice, gotta know who's home
Me, I stay low when the police roam
Can't get me nicked, I gotta drop that life
I say it all the time but I'm still in the cut
Cuh life be a bitch and I've been in a rut
If I don't die from a natural cause
I pray it ain't shells that's filling my gut
Cause I've been on the grind tryna double up Ps
Look outside and the sky's still grey
I was on the road tryna live that life
But I'm tryna show man I've been here from day
I came back out, put pressure on the game
If you wanna come against me, I'll fight for the name
That I've built, came back from the hills
Pshh, that's another MC killed
Yeah, no time like the present
New tune, I've got the timeline a present
I smoke an MC twice
That's the weed and the resin
Too many tunes stacked up in the file
Stand it up and that's taller than Nico
We all chase money, get paid in full
Don't snitch like Rico

[Chorus]
Know about stress, know about pain
Know about a friend and I know about snakes
Know about rap and I know about grime
Know about patience, know about time
Know about H•A•M and I know about rest
Know about life and I know about tests
Know about beef and I know about war
Know about mine, I don't know about yours

[Chorus]
Know about stress, know about pain
Know about a friend and I know about snakes
Know about rap and I know about grime
Know about patience, know about time
Know about H•A•M and I know about rest
Know about life and I know about tests
Know about beef and I know about war
Know about mine, I don't know about yours

[Chorus]
Know about stress, know about pain
Know about a friend and I know about snakes
Know about rap and I know about grime
Know about patience, know about time
Know about H•A•M and I know about rest
Know about life and I know about tests
Know about beef and I know about war
Know about mine, I don't know about yours
