Broken Mirror - Jon Connor

They say the good die young, so the bad die old

Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul

All I want to do is right, but all I’m seeing is wrong

And I’m trying to stay strong but its taking its toll

And I ain’t no better than you so when you playing this song

And you feeling how I’m feeling, just know that you ain’t alone

Everyday you wake up, another day that it’s on

So we got to wake up before what we seeing is gone

Since the beggining, the mirror of what I’ve written

Real has been my description, ain’t never been nothing different

Love me or hate me, just know its me you lovin' or hatin'

So there will never be an issue with what judgement your making

High school, I knew who I was, I had direction

A leader, I don’t follow nobody, always progressing

So every girl in highschool a ho, was the perception

Coz lame niggas lied on their dick, to get accepted

Takin' a girls purity to get a sense of security

Now she insecure, she get older and she ain’t sure of me

And I ain’t sayin' I’m an angel or saint

But one of these days I might need her to be wifey, but she can’t

Coz now she don’t trust niggas, all the time fuck niggas

Coz if she don’t she thinking then no nigga gon' fuck with her

Both male and female, lost in misdirection

It’s a crazy world when you live in a misconception

She had the university trying to fit in, blowing intuition

Was a good girl back at the crib, but now she different

Blowin' trees, she was never into it

It’s the influence of her roomy, she with it coz all her friends do it

Back home she knew people, now she with these new people

She don’t know herself no more, now she feeling like two people

Niggas in the dorm, 3am, thinking they cool people

Trying to keep up with this bullshit can consume people

Talking loud, wrong crowd, ya’ll fucking the same dudes

Feeling like you can’t move, this painful, this ain’t you

You stay loose, cranberry juice and grey goose

Can’t shake ya head at them hoes, coz you doing what they do

Niggas play you, too far gone, who gon' save you

Funny how shit could have been, if you had stayed you

Out of control on the path of misdirection

It’s the crazy life when you live in misconception

The coolest nigga in high school, was exactly that

The coolest nigga in high school, time passed right by you

Passing days of glory, keep telling them war stories

Leaching off baby mommas, he never set his priorities

Already finding, his best days is behind him

The hoes that he used to fuck, is what defines him

Sleeping on different couches, got seeds in three different houses

But if you ask about him, he barely know nothing bout em'

I don’t want him around me, all I know about him

Is he broke and he brag about being in and out the county

And since when is not being shit, the shit?

When there’s only one life to live, I hope you listen huh?

Still alive, done living at twenty five

Stuck in the hood, but never got out coz he never tried

Look, check your brother, but check yourself first

The truth hurts, but we can all change after this

Shits real… It’s too real
