[Verse 1: Truth]
They say change is all we need
Quit feeling low, blow that weed and chase that pot of gold
What if that chase brings chains to your soul?
What if you renewed everything that you knew? Would that change make you feel like you're living life anew?
Or just popped out the blue?
What if you renewed everything that you blew? Would you then quit feeling blue?
You took me to the streets and you showed me that life. Told me "toughen up" and taught me to survive
Told me when life gets you down and you're living in strife, just smoke a lil some' to get by
You showed me the gangs and the guns and the prostitutes
And the law that the street constitutes
Said I was minute if I didn't contribute and I never rebuked that life on the grind
Time and time again, I think about that time, when I sat in the back of that police van
Thinking that time that I spent on the grind could've been the time that I spent with my fam
Sometimes you need that change to change from the way that you've changed and loosen those chains
I've seen my sins and the scenes that I've seen made me see that I'd rather be me... Id rather be me
[Chorus: MP Light]
Broken mirrors on the ground
I'm picking up one piece and I am seeing something different and I'm... trying to figure out... what's missing in the life I am living and I'm thinking that it's... Me ye-ah
What's missing in the life I am living and I'm thinking that it's... Me ye-ah
What's missing.. in this life.. that I'm living.. ye-ah
[Verse 2: Truth]
I look into the mirror and the mirror don't reflect me back
I lost who I am tryna be the man you demand and you tell me you can bring that back
What about the pain and the strife I endured? Went out my mind and you gon' tell me I'm cured?
You took one piece and broke it to pieces
Piece me back together and bring me to peace
And let me be me, for one second
Regret that second I let you own my life, at this second I'm sick of being second in my own life
Seasons seen me sitting on the sideline
Tried to get inside but instead I was sidelined
Now I seek in my mind that I might
Place my eye on someone mightier than I
To rest my mind and arrest my pride since the rest confide in everything He provide
Call Him Jesus Christ, He's the Son & the Light
I said, I seek in my mind that I might
Place my eye on someone mightier than I
To rest my mind and arrest my pride since the rest confide in everything He provide
You ain't never seen this side of me, no asylum here inside of me, still I'd rather be me
[Chorus: MP Light]
Broken mirrors on the ground
I'm picking up one piece and I am seeing something different and I'm... trying to figure out... what's missing in the life I am living and I'm thinking that it's... Me ye-ah
What's missing in the life I am living and I'm thinking that it's... Me ye-ah
What's missing.. in this life.. that I'm living.. ye-ah
