Reflection

Verse 1 I ain't gon lie a lot of this is hard to take ... I'm watching em praise the ok and overlook the great .. I'm not saying that they ain't straight ... I'm just saying that... NVM no matter what they gon turn this into some hate ... So fuck it, left it alone, headphones dead in a zone Like Rick and Mashonne I'm feeling better on my own Took a second for me to except that next time I'm on the road Won't be no Crook, won't be no Royce, won't be no Joe I'm just looking at the Hudson River right now sitting on the rocks Feeling like my reflections life reflection is it not? Some people board the ferry, other people dock a yacht But the waves keep movin while the ducks just sit and watch Sometimes I daydream about me sitting at the top I see the club going crazy every time my record drop I see plaques on the wall, glass cases for awards that I done got Performing for like a million a pop But truth is.. it's like one in a million to pop And the only artists that truly touch them millions is pop Being simple is a yes, being skilled is a not Having substance is lame, using substance is hot So here I am, still the hottest nigga in the barber shop To get a number one but not a number one spot I'm in a weird place where fans don't expect me on the charts Guess when u gifted, sometimes u rap yaself into a box Reflection Verse 2 4 Chicken wings fried hard with pork fried rice Egg roll 2 duck sauces will suffice Filled my stomach now it's time to get nice 5 cent cups, a juice to chase it, a bag o ice And whatever we decided we gon sip on that night Pocket full of work so feens ca come and get right 2 green one red dice call ya point through the weed smoke Hammer underneath coat ya AB could lead to C ya later when that DE choke just leave broke Keep minutes on ya cell A sneaker box to dig in for ya bail And a team full o hittaz who wouldn't tell Wanna get it off quicker don't be stingy on the scale Stuff them sandwich bags overpack them 1212s You on ya 4th re-up before they 1st flip sells That's the pre-music Joell, the Joell these check writing executives don't really know well I should win a nobel From carrying peices to guard my prize possession to Peace God yea that was Marshall in my session Now that I think about it, bring another bottle to my section Let's celebrate that my apartment ain't from section 8 no more ain't no more hungry nights momma we don't wait no more The 1st don't hold wait no more I tell the waiter wait no more Gotta watch my figure can't put on weight no more Cause Reflection Hook The way I put words together too complex or whatever but... Still I jot... Im just speaking from my heart My bad if it come off smart... Just tryna jot Down a couple of lines And see if y'all like a couple of rhymes As I Jot.. --- Reflection - Joell Ortiz and Apollo Brown
