The Reflection

[Intro from Noriex Valley's YouTube podcast interview with Joey Zen]
...Your mind. Which means - I really have all faith in your mindset and mental, so you can do anything you want if you just apply yourself and just believe in it. Really, its crazy to think of all the things you can do if you just believe in it and put your mind to something and like - I know that will go over a lot of people's heads but like, manifestations and all of that is like true. Everything is created within your mind and the universe lies within your mind. So, The fourth and seventh chakra...

It's just me
Unh

[Verse 1]
Now at this point in my career it deserves some reflection
Staring at the mirror asking God where I'm headed
I know the powers of my mind have all been manifested
No GPS, but Got Plenty Success in my direction
Waking up daily really be my biggest blessing
Only got these two bars but I hope you get the message
Life be a cycle what you give is what you getting
First place finishes you still second guessing
Huh
But I guess that's how life go
We know just what we don't know
And don't know what we do know
All I know is Imma do me
And all I can do is teach peace
Still overthinking all my strengths in this life
When I know it's really me pulling all the strings tight
Sewing up the seams as I reap all in sight
Do you know just what it means to feel like you can't die
Do you
Everlasting be my soul
Had to plant it in this song so you could see it grow
Killed off all every part of me that made my ego
To fertilize my mind and unlock the keyhole
Breaking down the doors to all the thing we know
But still truly, what is it we know

Look there I go again, questioning my pen
Interrogate my thoughts just to never make amends
And as I start fall I remember who I am
I am Zen, I meditate for ten
Hours on end just to show em that I can
Ask God to show a sign
And these lines are what she sent
I ask God to show a sign
These lines are what she sent
This probably the greatest verse I ever wrote
Transpose the flow so y'all can see my notes
Never seen the promise land but always seen the hope
Of life in the palm of hands without a telescope
Funny how life can get without telling a joke
It's all smoke and mirrors so I'll take a heavy toke
Cry me a river, give a dam the levy broke
I give em food for thought and just wait for them to choke
And just wait for them to choke

[Verse 2]
These boys always been some fakers, me I've always been a taker
Of the life I that I wanted so I penned it all on paper
21 years of age, I thank the holy maker
Yeah I thank the holy maker
For the man he made of me
I see the plan that's made for me
Alphabet boy, I do it all from A to Z
The L stand for love so never can I lose
I'm stuck to my roots so excuse me while I bloom
So excuse me while I bloom

Sit back and read the room and analyze who's dishonest
Plotting on my moves only make me go the hardest
Concocting conversation with my contradicting conscious
Really test my patience when I question all my progress
Like since I ain't made it yet then I'm actin lazy
Actin out of line when they start to actin shady
Acting out of character when they try to play me
Think life ain't fair but just look it how it pay me
So just open up yo eyes
I got 47, you can take some of mine
And 48 laws of power running through my spine
And 50 naked women tryna do the bump and grind
I don't show em no mind, nah I never let em in
Since we dropped Fine, I been feeling like a veteran
But I rap for sport so someone grab my lettermen
Plus yo favorite rapper just another dude I'm better than

Zen (And I know I know I know)
47 Eyez On Me (And I know I know I know)
47 eyes on the team (That I'm the GOAT the GOAT the GOAT)
Let's go

[Outro by J.R.C]
You know what Zen?
Been watching your career for awhile now
I-I think anybody would've been able to tell how far you could come
How much you could grow, but, I don't think anybody knew it would happen this fast
You got the album, the clothes, what don't you have?
God damn, 47
