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..
