Lyrics:
(Verse 1):
I be goin, through it, I be 'losin feeling, likewise, hopelessness stripped me of reeling, in the line, for fear of finding
An empty hook, deposit me in nooks
Where i spend, my time, dubiously 'stoopin to moods
Where i think, my existence should be stifled to improve
The lives of others, the signs are evident
My disillusions have me 'feelin stoopid, truly
Couldn't foresee this fateful encounter, how does one
Predict such, a meeting between two cowards
I realize now i'm both halves, and yes, this a cue to rewind back
To said, incident, I, ventured from secluded place
Peep the rectangular portal suspended in space
Scarily tiptoe to where said thing was located
Mystical crystalline portal glistened in front of my optics, paused
Stopped, awestruck, taken aback, because a figure on the other side stared at me in the exact, same, way, I kid you not, the connection between us made time around us stop
(Hook):
Analyze his eyes, He saw life through a TV screen ('Sho 'nuff)
Disconnected demeanor, His means of 'copin will keep him leashed
(Yea!)
(Not his fault, Not his fault, Ooh-oh)

(Verse 2):
He was still stuck in this stop-motion like occurrence, as to deter him
I tried wavin him off, cue, the ripple effect, he mimicked me to a fault
He's doing this to piss me off, surely, I leaned in close to show him what's good, the copycat reciprocated the action, his
Expression was a mangled mess of scorn and detriment
Had to sever his stare for a second
Oh, man... Them all too familiar traits, he had the gall to showcase
Them, the trauma, longing for a friend, loneliness, scuffles with love
And women, left me skittish, had me greatly offended, taken aback
I blew my stack, and whizzed through the air, was my fist
With a crack, to that, seemingly familiar world to mine
The portal disconnected, my brow creased, cuz out of my knuckle jutted multiple pieces of said crystal gate, slightly miffed, I swiftly ripped the shard from outta there, rueful stupor
At that moment, characterized my stare, as i eyed the piece
A flare of recognition churned inside, I dry-heaved
Cuz the brotha starin back, an inscrutable face equipped, but was scared shook, you see, was the one from before, but i realized, it was me!
(Hook):
Analyze his eyes, He saw life through a TV screen ('Sho 'nuff)
Disconnected demeanor, His means of 'copin will keep him leashed
(Yea!)
(Not his fault, Not his fault, Ooh-oh)
