(Verse 1)
See for yourself all your dreams on the shelf
I’m eager to help to understand these feelings you felt
When healing through hell with emotional dealings you’ve dealt
Just gotta believe in yourself, all you need is your health
But you’re nervous with agitation and yearning for validation
Indecisive, unsure, and searching for affirmation
And I’ll admit that I’m a Capricorn and I’m out of patience
But I just want you to acknowledge all your Godly greatness
Do what your passion is, the stuff that made you laugh as kids
No point in being skinny if it’s fucking with your happiness
Sensitive slightly, not to be taken lightly
Cause I think it might be messing with your psyche
You already know you’re gifted and your blessed
But can always count on others to convince you that you’re less
Refusing others help, place your health above your wealth
I wanna love you but it’s hard cause you don’t love yourself
(Chorus)
Shatter All The Mirrors Baby
Cause You Don’t Need Them Anymore
If You Could Only See Your Beauty
I Like You Just The Way You Are
(Verse 2)
So now you’re over stressing, too upset to show regression
Do regret the spoken tension, take a sec and hold your breath in
Sober sex with no protection, need a better coping method
Alone with no reflection, focused on a hopeless ending
Photo shopped false images of us
Stop measuring your worth through the opinions of others
But you managed to maintain till grass sprouted greener
But carry the same pain as a black ballerina
And it’s embarrassing how arrogant these parents get
They swear and spit this careless shit that rarely should be said or did
Genetically inherited the heritage her parents give
Unfair comparisons to paler kids with fairer skin
So why try to please a menacing a crooked judge
Knowingly knowing that you’re never gonna be good enough
By whose standards are you living by?
You can’t be your own kind living life through your critics eyes
(Chorus)
Shatter All The Mirrors Baby
Cause You Don’t Need Them Anymore
If You Could Only See Your Beauty
I Like You Just The Way You Are
(Verse 3)
Girl I’m so into you, quit acting like you’re miserable
If only you thought of yourself the same way that I think of you
If only you saw what I see every time I’m in sync with you
Living in your pinnacle, your presence is a miracle
Measure your worth by your blessings and burns
The depths of your words in every single breath you exert
Protect and preserve to ponder on these lessons you’ve learned
Facing all of these stresses and different pressures from birth
Perfectionist curse, she fathomed it, captured it then mastered it
Her craftmanship’s immaculate, she’s admirate and passionate
But yet she’s agitate, saddened and unimaginative
Her confidence is whack and I’m attracted to her lack of it
Listen I know it’s deep, it’s dark and the road is steep
Your heart has a broken piece, a scar with an open crease
So when you fall asleep to wake from provoking dreams
You’ll change from woe is me, to see that whoa it’s me
