[Intro: K-Rino]
Come walk with me
You might not like where I take you though
Yeah get ready, enter my mind
[Verse: K-Rino]
Yesterday morning I stood in the mirror, gazing into my own eyes
Knowing the life that I was living wasn't the one that I visualized
Half woke and half unconscious, I replayed my life over
Saw the image of a man with a mask standing over my shoulder
First I thought that I was hallucinating, I must be still sleep
Dreaming deep, I paid it no mind until I heard him speak
And the words he spoke were deadly, no love in them were meant
Said he was watching me and I would see him everywhere that I went
I got scared and broke the mirror, ran out feeling a buzz
Determined not to quit but once I looked up there he was
I was hoping I could take the mask up off his face and see
I had two questions, who is this man? And why is he chasing me?
I jumped in the ride and burnt off, doing my best to run
Pa**ed at least 11 bus-stops and he was standing at every one
Saw him in my rear-view mirror, thought my sanity's tryna pimp me
'Cause there wasn't no cars behind me and my backseat was empty
I looked at the clock and I noticed, it's 2:23pm
But I'm paranoid 'cause nobody was outside but me and him
I couldn't shake, escape or evade him no matter what corners I was cutting
Had a full tank of gas, but the car shut down all of a sudden
I bailed out and started running, I'm in my hood and I know it well
But the street signs had changed up, they had words on them like 'Hell'
And had words on them like 'murder', 'damnation' and 'lies' instead
And whatever street that I ran down, I went through what it said
I was in pain so I broke down, it all ended at last
The torture felt like 20 hours but only 5 minutes had pa**ed
Why was I going through this suffering? What was this man scheming?
Before he took me I woke up screaming and realized that I was dreaming
I was glad that it was over, so I stood up to my feet
Walked outside to get some fresh air and absorb some of the heat
I kind of laughed about the whole thing once the drama was complete
I almost pa**ed out when I looked up and seen him standing across the street
I took off was running full speed, as fast as I could go
But no matter how fast I ran, he was right behind my walking slow
With the same mask on from the dream with specks of blood on it
Tired of running for my life, he'd have to take mine if he want it
So I stop to turn and face him, no words were left to say
But once he saw my fear was gone, he took off running the other way
I was confused while I was chasing him, it wasn't what it seems
How can I fight something that hides in mirror reflections and in dreams?
Nevertheless, I got to take the chance and hope that I can stretch him
At that moment he stopped running as if he wanted me to catch him
All the psychological anguish that I went through was defined
I grabbed his head, snatched his mask off and the face in it was mine
I almost went blind, but it all came together step by step
I was being chased by my own sin, running from the dark side of myself
As I choked him in a tight grasp, I began to understand
Right then and there the man in the mask just disappeared inside my hand
It was all a sign for me to change and see the world clearer
I closed my eyes and when I opened 'em I was back in front of the mirror
But even though the man was gone, I still can't say that it's the end
'Cause I know that if I slip up, I'll see that mask again
