Reflection
Reflections of Love and Betrayal: A Soulful Journey by Niya Imani
Lyrics
I know when I'm wrong
I am aware of my mistakes
Two wrongs don't make a right
Committing additional wrongs doesn't correct the situation
Pulled up past 12
Arriving after midnight
It's the reason why we always in a fight
This behavior contributes to our frequent arguments
Shit I know you far from a saint
I acknowledge that you are not perfect
Playing roles on how I think
Acting in ways that I assume
I take you back
I forgive you and reconcile when you meet my expectations
Once you do shit that I can
As long as your actions align with what I can accept
You a liar
Describing you as untruthful
Cheater
Accusing you of infidelity
And other things
Listing negative qualities about you
I know you know
Acknowledging that you are aware of my observations
That I know
Emphasizing my awareness of the situation
Ain't shit gon change
Believing that nothing will change
So I fight it
Despite this, I resist
Babyboy
Addressing you as a term of endearment
Take a dose of this pain
Suggesting that you experience the pain I feel
Cuz deep down
Because deep down, you are unlikely to change
You know your shit ain't gon change
Expressing a wish for change
I hope
Lowering your intensity along with your attitude
Turn your base down with that attitude
Responding to disrespectful language
Callin me a bitch
Stating that we both share negative characteristics
I guess that makes us two
Highlighting your hidden actions
You was fuckin on the low
Expressing anger due to my awareness
Mad cuz I know
Angry because I replicated your actions
When I pulled a you on you nigga
Pointing out a situation where I mirrored your behavior
You ain't think that I called that nigga up
Revealing that I contacted someone you didn't expect
To go sit on that mmm
Hinting at engaging in intimate activities
Hittin big waves
Experiencing success and enjoyment
All cuz you played
Because you played games with me
I'm just a reflection of you
Asserting that I am a reflection of you
You
Repeatedly emphasizing "You"
You
-You (Blame nobody but yourself)
-You
-You
-You
-Yea yea
-Mad at nobody but yourself
Telling you to be mad at yourself, not others
You
Repeatedly emphasizing "You"
You
-You
-You
-You
-You
-I'm just a reflection
Stating that I am a reflection
Don't go trippin on me babyboy
Advising against overreacting
Don't go trippin on me babyboy
-Ima have to pull a you
-On n you
-On you
-On you
-On you
-On you
-Don't go trippin on me babyboy
-Don't go trippin on me baby boy
-Yea
Confirmation or agreement
All of these streetlights they glowing
Describing moments with symbolism
And moments
-Happen to be
-Just like
-Moments when you passing
-Infront of me
-So I hope in
-In the cab and feel
Ending with a suggestion to reflect
