[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Sometimes, I look in the mirror
And ask myself, what I'm scared of
How dare the media portray me this way? I can hear the
Crowds screaming the weirdest of chants
They all in my ear or that's an error
Role model, I can't, it's like I'm a parrot
Apparently, I'm marking the dance
I seen done with the devil such a ghetto romance
[Verse 2: Lotus]
Here I go questioning everything I do, yeah
Then I found you, would this be cool?
Should I give up? Should I be through?
Thoughts keep running through my head
[Pre-Chorus: Lotus]
But something inside of me is making me believe
That I can do anything, do anything, yeah
[Chorus: Lotus]
When I look, when I look in the mirror
I see the hero inside of me
And I feel no fear, no fear, no fear
I'm flying the way I'm supposed to be
[Post-Chorus: Lotus]
Looking for a feast, yes, but we can find out
And I can see my reflection when I look in the mirror (Look in the mirror)
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
What do you see?
[Bridge: Glasses Malone]
Take your shit, that's what I won't do (Won't do)
Out here doing what I want to (Want to)
You do what you can't
That's the difference, I'm a **** man (I'm a man)
Well indite, I won't take that
Out here doing what I want to (Want to)
You do what you can't (Can't)
That's the difference, I'm a **** man (I'm a man)
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Time and time again, I find myself
Inside the cerebellum of several felons
Orion's Belt couldn't live in my world
I seen tigers, lions let loose and spooked
I'm next door to Earl
I guess I rely on Jesus to save us
Before our referral to man as my neighbors
Witness ski masks, the masses don't know
I'm packing this four and harassing your ho
[Verse 4: Lotus]
Now, I'm done searching for answers
Thinking of medicine I need to go
When it's over, will I know?
Should I hold on? Should I let go?
Sometimes it's better left unsaid
[Pre-Chorus: Lotus]
But something inside of me is making me believe
That I can do anything, do anything, yeah
[Chorus: Lotus]
When I look, when I look in the mirror
I see the hero inside of me
And I feel no fear, no fear, no fear
I'm flying the way I'm supposed to be
[Post-Chorus: Lotus]
Looking for a feast, yes, but we can find out
And I can see my reflection when I look in the mirror (Look in the mirror)
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
What do you see?
[Outro: Lotus]
When I look, when I look in the mirror
I see the hero inside of me
