reflections - k-squared (rapper) lyrics

[hook]
gimme a mic, sit back and listen as i flow
got these thoughts up in my mind i feel the need to let you know
sip some water, mind your business if it’s toxic then it goes
and opinions they ain’t facts we take them in then let them go
there are things that i have seen and i’m just thankful i’m alive
it’s like i’m always battling with pride
i stifle sighs. i’m tired of running from the things i keep inside
the mirror staring back see the reflection never lies

[verse]
yo, end of a decade, end of an era
what can i tell ya? reflecting on all of my failures
all of my victories, lessons i learned ’em. the tables, yeah, i overturned ’em
i severed some ties but the bridges intact. felt there was no need to burn ’em
time’s an illusion, they say. 2012 we moved from the uk
i remember getting p-ssed at my parents still but home is home so you say
oh you gon’ love it (mm-hmm), oh you’ll be fine (well, okay)
said that everything was cool but how i wanted to stay
cause the things i saw on tv kinda shaped my views on africa
sad to say that the media misrepresents the diaspora
start to feel like an outsider, stupid questions they asking ya
cl-ssmates made fun of me ’cause i struggled with the vernacular
that’s everyone but my 3 homies, yeah, i made friends for life
it’s cause of you that my love for making this music came to life
long, long way that i came from, i still got love for my day ones
i swear down if you ever need something from me just tell me, say nun
check it. 2014 i’m balling. form 3, really starting to settle
my body going through changes now i speak with less of the treble
man’s got a bit of b-ss now, testestorone in my vessels
boarding school builds character so that’s the year i switched levels
listen graduated in ’16 took a gap year on the low
spent the next year playing football i came this close to going pro
meanwhile they all pressured me “yo, when you going university?”
all the while i was making music as happy as i’ve prolly ever been
2018 i’m in turkey i’m in uni now
they say you growing man you no longer a juvenile
i seen some things that year, wish they could disappear
from memory, but these are reminders of everything i should not be
international student, engineering first year weren’t easy
nothing like high school. over here a-s ain’t sh-t believe me
natural selection, you either adapt or you lose
i came this side on a scholarship so i feel like there’s something to prove
2019 was hard i lost my cousin, then my aunt
made some choices that were wrong then paid the price with broken hearts
but i try my best not to dwell on things that i cannot change
cause doing so’s like prison, it’s like choosing to put on chains
who am i to be giving advice? i am but a student of life
so take it or leave it, i could care less whether you think i’m wrong or i’m right
grow through what you go through. this is my only advice
take it or leave it, that’s on you i’m just a guy with a mic

[hook]
so, lemme use this mic, sit back and listen as i flow
had these thoughts up in my mind i felt the need to let you know
sip some water, mind your business if it’s toxic then it goes
man, opinions never facts we take them in then let them go
there are things that i have seen and i’m just thankful i’m alive
it’s like i’m always battling with pride
i stifle sighs. i’m tired of running from the things i keep inside
the mirror staring back, see the reflection never lies
