Lyrics
I'm flowing with a note they done given me
I'm expressing myself with a musical note given to me
With that motherland in my throat like shinning up in me
Feeling a deep connection to my African heritage
Cape Town I been throwing down with a rope do they could lift me
Engaging in Cape Town, facing challenges, and seeking support
But I woke in a frenzy
Woke up feeling intense emotions or excitement
Had a nightmare my mirror was missing
Had a distressing dream where my reflection was absent
Used to it being right there close enough for the light stare
Accustomed to my mirror being close, now it's missing
Just to see what's up in me Truth or dare
Contemplating self-discovery, truth, and challenges
Neither here nor there but I might get my wishes with NG
Uncertain about wishes but hopeful, possibly referencing NG
Clean them up with what I write here
Cleaning up or refining thoughts through writing
And make sure they ain't stingy
Ensuring generosity in my expressions
11 11
Repeated reference to 11:11, a moment of significance or desire
Thank my scars the mic right there
Grateful for the scars that contribute to my art
Thanks to God he gave me enough to share
Thankful to God for the ability to share my experiences
Truth or dare
Reiteration of the theme of truth or dare
From my lips to your ears
Expressing personal truths to the audience
And to all who can hear my youth came with some tears
Reflecting on a youth marked by both joy and tears
Walking smiling my boots came with some breaks and some tears
Overcoming challenges, indicated by boots with breaks and tears
Romeo with my jewels like some Shakes with some Speare
Comparing oneself to Romeo with jewels, navigating life
Talk some miles til you cheer
Encouraging others to talk and share their experiences
I'm a prodigal child looking for my mirror
Searching for identity and connection with a mirror
So I can follow my unborn child til he or she appear
Anticipating the future and the arrival of an unborn child
I done paid for my dues
Having paid the price for experiences and lessons
I done stayed for them booze
Enduring hardships related to alcohol (booze)
Closed my eyes until them picture perfect picture with a pen
Creating vivid imagery with a pen on stage without rules
On a stage with no rules
Embracing creativity on stage, breaking conventional norms
Pop a beer can then make a wish and eat my pain for thought
Symbolically dealing with pain through wishes and reflection
Then clean my dirty dish 11 11 take a wish
Utilizing 11:11 as a moment for positive transformation
Use it like heaven on earth
Transforming wishes into a heavenly experience on earth
I'm a fool with a sin
Acknowledging personal flaws and sins
Mirror mirror where you been
Searching for self-awareness through a mirror
I can use you like my skin
Viewing the mirror as essential as one's skin
All them bruises covering life is losing while she win
Recognizing life's hardships while persevering
Like a clueless musician
Feeling lost, similar to a clueless musician
Like I'm Judas but I'm 10 then 11
Referencing biblical themes with Judas and the number 10, 11
Heaven and talk to God
Turning to God and seeking spiritual connection
No more selling him just guitars and shallow in to win
Rejecting materialism and shallow pursuits for spiritual growth
Then blow that shit hard
Expressing intensity and passion, perhaps in performance
Likes it's a party time about to begin
Preparing for a joyous celebration or event
Spit that hope like it's more than my in the end
Sharing hope and positivity with others
Yeah I row my boat like it's forty nine til my mirror back again
Rowing through life's challenges until self-reflection returns
11 11
Reiteration of the significant moment of 11:11
Soon to see all the cracks in me my friend
Acknowledging personal flaws and vulnerabilities
Soon as y'all hear these tracks I needed man
Expressing the need for understanding and acceptance
11 11 until then
Continuing the journey of self-discovery until the desired state
