Mirror mirror 

What is this reflection I see 
That of 
This man whos image is just like me 
Enriched melanin skin 
Strong features 
Same bulb eyes staring back at me 
More silver upon his crown 
Other than that 
The carbon copy of me 
Where you been 
O.G 
O.Geez 
Its been hard out here 
alone on these 
CoLd harD streetz 
With 
No one for me 
To model myself after 
For a long time these 
Mirror Mirrors 
Had forgotten 
The image of me 
Took a while 
To come to terms with 
Features so unique 
Ignoring that the source 
Was ever so strong in me 
O.g 
Oh geez 
Where you been 
I battled demons alone 
Inherited unto me 
By a forebearer unknown 
without a throne 
Astrology alone 
teaching me 
what a lion king I truly could be 
Pushing aside all sadness 
Inviting in all badmindness 
Just to survive this madness 
Product of a broken home 
Asphalt paths roamed 
Incorrect figures followed 
Holding on to hopes 
That knowledge would flow into my wide open dome 
It was never so 
Continued to wander alone 
Dashed dreams 
Lost hope 
Lost days 
Mirror mirrors 
Reflecting plenty of rain 
WIthdrawn deep within 
Masking all my pain 
Mind swirling 
Asking the same questions over and 
Over again 
O.G 
Oh geez 
Where you been 
I had been on a vertical dissension 
Downwards 
Deep within the valley of sin 
I pulled myself up from the ashes 
LIke a phoenix 
Rising high above men 
Resurrected 
Mentally reprogrammed 
Re booted and 
corrected 
No physical assistance 
Mental strength 
Ambition and persistence 
Genetically imprinted 
Gifts passed down unto me 
Inadvertent traits 
Mirror mirrors 
Where unable to see nakedly 
Genetic imprints 
That helped uplift 
A soul lost and alone like me 
O.G 
Oh geez 
If only you had been here to see 
No explanation necessary 
For through my mirror mirrors 
Much has been seen 
I realize 
you have lived and survived 
the same stress and strife 
just like me 
I had been awaiting this day 
Still my 
mirror mirrors find it hard to believe 
The image that they see 
That of a man who looks just like me 
Enriched melanin skin 
Strong features 
Same eyes as me 
More silver upon his crown 
Other than that 
The carbon copy 
of me 
O.G 
Oh geez 
Where you been
