Lyrics
How can a broken mirror
Reflects on the challenges of self-perception and improvement.
Reflect good images?
Questions the ability of a damaged self to project positive images.
I work on myself
Expresses the commitment to self-improvement.
To repair these damages
Working on repairing personal damages and flaws.
But it's all good
Despite challenges, maintains a positive outlook.
Speaking broken pieces together
Struggling to piece together broken aspects of life.
Trying to fix my crew
Effort to fix personal issues before addressing larger problems.
Before we talk about the crucifix
Mentions the crucifix, suggesting spiritual or deeper reflections.
Random thoughts on these mics
Random thoughts expressed through microphones.
All alone in a mirror room
Loneliness in self-reflection within a mirrored space.
Got me reflecting on these lines
Reflecting on life experiences through lines (possibly lyrics).
Few true ones around
Recognition of a few genuine individuals amidst others who deceive.
These ones just feed you lies
Some individuals provide false information.
10 years old
Recalls childhood fears at the age of 10.
Caught up with these fears
Facing fears rather than enjoying typical childhood activities.
Never liked toys
Disinterest in toys and preference for deep thinking.
Spent time thinking more
Reflecting on life instead of expressing through play.
No time to say it all
Lack of time to fully articulate thoughts.
But why should I be afraid for 10 years
Questioning the fear endured for 10 years if it hasn't changed life.
If it never turned my life around?
Ruminating on the impact of past fears on life.
Got Got
Reflections on speech impediments, pronunciation challenges, and the persistence in overcoming them through practice.
Got a lot to speak
-But I've cursed with a tongue
-Can't can't turn ma thoughts into speech
-When ma teeth keeps fighting ma tongue
-Can't lift ma tongue
-When it feels like
-There is a dumbbell on ma tongue
-Yet me speaking won't work out
-And I don't even know
-What I'm about
-Worried about this speech impediment
-This pending in speech meant
-In my speaking there's a defect
-It's either I stretch these words
-Or pronounce the English words worse
-Reason my Thisable Album is delaying
-But first
-I've come to realize
-That to send ma message across
-Ma message across
-My pronunciation
-Doesn't have to be perfect
-Let's talk about this pair first
-Myself and poetry
-Have been practicing for 8 years
-Just to be perfect
-Yet when I pronounce an 'R'
-I took an 'L' first
-My 'H' silent as dumb
-And 'Th' came out as 'T'
-When ma speech
-Was put to the test
-But this did not discourage me
-I practiced
-Till I passed the test
-And if you didn't get me
-All I'm saying is
-Practice makes perfect
Emphasizes the importance of practice in achieving perfection in communication.
Ay!
Expression of affirmation or encouragement.
And so
Letting go of negative thoughts, self-doubt, and societal expectations.
I'm letting go of
-Wrong thinking
-Stinking thinking got me sinking
-It got me sinking
-In the oceans of misconception
-Wrong belief
-Always seeking sweet words to relieve
-To relieve myself of depression
-Wrong confession
-Still echoes
-In the deserted lands of my heart
-It all began on a Monday
-Everyone wants you to live their dreams
-But on the real
-Charley my mind no dey
-God you say we go make am
-But rydee I get make up kraa
-Ago sell
-Ano say we go win though
-But how long
-Do we have to look
-At success through the windows?
Questioning the prolonged observation of success from a distance.
