rare of breed - reflection lyrics
[hook]
reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
i’m lookin’ at myself but all i’m seein’ is my soul
i know i need to change
you can see i’ve done it wrong
please! put me back in place honestly i’m feelin’ lost
reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
listen, envision
i’ve been gone for so long
i need you in my heart and i need you in my home
until then…
mirror, mirror on the wall
[verse 1]
she stands alone, self-esteem is all of gone
22 but if you guessed it you would prolly get it wrong
she’s been through h-ll and back, a feen to crack
hew stomach pumped, 2 heart attacks, and dss removed her 3 children because the way she acts!
and she’s the least expected getting on her feet
cuz her father told the “truth” therefore she “lies” between the sheets
medicated, eyes bruised, t–th gone, half deaf
cuz the pimp busted her eardrum when he struck her in the head
with the illusion she was being taken care of
and all she had to do was sell herself and change her name to “habenera”
she was feisty, but a pisces, so she read the finer writing
on the wall outside the car as she left it without replying (praying)
reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
save me and change me before i lose it all
i’m crying to you lord i just hope you hear my call
then a light shined before her with a new life that had shown
[hook]
reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
i’m lookin’ at myself but all i’m seein’ is my soul
i know i need to change
you can see i’ve done it wrong
please! put me back in place honestly i’m feelin’ lost
reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
listen, envision
i’ve been gone for so long
i need you in my heart and i need you in my home
until then…
mirror, mirror on the wall
[verse 2]
i met a man who said nothing’s ever goin’ right
used up all his energy and now he’s too tired to fight
the same month he lost his job, family, and his wife
it got so bad to the point that he made the decision to take his life
put down the pipe, picked up the gun with n0body in sight
shaking recklessly it was the coldest of december nights
“i’m serious! i’ll k!ll myself and end it where i stand!!!”
he put the barrel to his head and yelled, “is this your plan?!”
saw his reflection in the gl-ss with the funeral plan
his daughter, abbie, crying out and reaching for his hand
he fell apart and emotions had taken over
remembering all the words in the promises that he told her
that he’d never leave her side, “baby, you’re my little soldier.”
“pray before you go to sleep even when you get older.”
been 6 months now praising god that he’s been sober
with his family in a church on sunday morning looking over

reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
i’m lookin’ at myself but all i’m seein’ is my soul
i know i need to change
you can see i’ve done it wrong
please! put me back in place honestly i’m feelin’ lost
reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
listen, envision
i’ve been gone for so long
i need you in my heart and i need you in my home
until then…
mirror, mirror on the wall
[verse 3]
last but not least, somebody i know all too well
you probably know him in a sense, he likes to story tell
goes by the “rare of breed” way too long he’s been in a spell
plottin’ for the fame, dreaming of money while he’s gettin’ sh-ll
a lot admit his talents high and his lyrics were ill
and couldn’t understand he hadn’t caught a break or got a deal
they its all about who you know in this business man
do you have a market? can you fit inside a business plan?
was so conseited
could compare his ways to eden
where the first sin was established when adam & eve had eaten
this apple was like his music, eat it up or learn the meaning
that his gift was sent from jesus and was purposed for his teaching
the problem was he didn’t care and went about his way
almost died from what he tried, i guess the devil doesn’t play
but the mercy of his god had given him another chance
and finally he saw the truth to follow christ and live is plan

i’m lookin’ at myself but all i’m seein’ is my soul
i know i need to change
you can see i’ve done it wrong
please! put me back in place honestly i’m feelin’ lost
reflection, mirror, mirror on the wall
listen, envision
i’ve been gone for so long
i need you in my heart and i need you in my home
until then…
mirror, mirror on the wall
