[Intro]
I keep lookinâ in the mirror, lookinâ in the mirror
I keep lookinâ in the mirror, lookinâ in the mirror
[Verse 1]
Reflections of a 5-year old lookinâ in the rear view
Wonderinâ why she ainât got a father like her peers do
Instead they gotta babysit it, ten years later, been a minute
But before you learn to lose trust, it takes a certain limit
Product of a single mother, fucked up, when I think of love âcause
Father figure packed up, itâs never been enough
So Iâm duckin when I catch a feelinâ, hate is what my heart is spillinâ
Papa killed this fate, a million times, so how do I forgive him?
Pop a pill when pain is killinâ, poppin veins, the proper feelinâ
People poppinâ-up are just a prop to me, to hurt Iâm willinâ
Porcelain turned poison venom, probably wonât prosper when Iâm
Seed without the poppy, prophecy's the problems pourinâ in and
Pop that pussy, my position, lyinâ more than politicians
Call âem daddy, guys are billinâ, opposite the opposition
Papaâs never far from vision, carbon copy popâs reflection
Fuck a mirror, it paints a villain, 'cause its always papa in 'em
[Hook]
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - why do I just hate myself?
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - I canât even find myself
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - why do I just hate myself?
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - I canât even find myself
I canât find, no, I canât find me, I canât find, I canât find me
I canât find me, I canât find, I canât find me
[Verse 2]
Reflections of a 18, daydream in a motel
Bruises and they both swell, heâs toxic, but she wonât tell
He promised but she knows well, heâs talking just to cope well
And often they donât go well, but options never go well
Now Iâm laying lifeless, my eyes canât even cry, itâs
Distracted by the lights that a reflection of my iris
Staring at these mirrors on the ceiling
He holds me, I canât feel âem
These bed sheets feeling haunted when we in âem
They say âcause she's tall and the way that she dresses, right?
He rapes itâs her fault, she should've been dressinâ right
Like when they catcall, she shouldn't be out at night
But fuck âem, itâs all of them that's been taking away her light
So close your eyes, you feel like you stuck
Take those hips, you nip and you tuck
No consent, he feelinâ the rush
Feel the burn with every touch
Open wide to bruise in the guts
Deep inside, you feeling the cuts
All these mirrors never enough until you feel you never enough
[Hook]
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - why do I just hate myself?
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - I canât even find myself
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - why do I just hate myself?
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - I canât even find myself
I canât find, no, I canât find me, I canât find, I canât find me
I canât find me, I canât find, I canât find me
[Verse 3]
Reflections to a young girl, a queen, and a young me
Glass ceilings and these mirrors, these fixtures try to shut me
They hope my light broke or maybe I might choke
And wait I âshift weightâ like walking a tight rope
Mirrors that we use ainât a reflection of truth
But a direction of you or a correction of you
Expectations vs. you, how do you separate the two?
When the one inside the mirror ainât as beautiful a view
So please, baby donât fold, baby donât go
Maybe we losinâ control, but donât lose soul
When we breathe, feelinâ so cold, stories untold
âCause what these broken mirrors donât show is my soul
Please, baby donât fold, baby donât go
Maybe we losinâ control, but donât lose soul
When we breathe, feelinâ so cold, stories untold
âCause what these broken mirrors donât show is my soul
[Hook]

Lookin' in the mirror like - I canât even find myself
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - why do I just hate myself?
I keep lookinâ in the mirror like
Lookin' in the mirror like - I canât even find myself
I canât find, no, I canât find me, I canât find, I canât find me
I canât find me, I canât find, I canât find me
