(Intro) Yeah... just me. No edits. Look... (Hook) Mirror don’t lie, I’m learning to love what I see, Scars on my heart made a man out of me. Trials and tribulations, but I’m still on my feet, Crown on my soul, that’s the king in me. Mirror don’t lie, I’m finally proud to be free, Every chapter I lived wrote the man that I be. I’m just me, identically me, No apology, just me, identically me. (Verse 1) I made decisions I ain’t proud of, young and chasing the night, Stumbled through the darkness before I stepped to the light. But every flaw was a lesson, every loss was a class, Now I love the man I’m building, not just shattering glass. Some people loved me temporary, left me out in the cold, Some called me family but resented what my future would hold. They saw the glow, never saw me cry alone in my room, Smiling in my face while planting seeds of doom. I learned how to treat people through the fake and the real, Stay true to my spirit even when wounds wouldn’t heal. Mama, you’re the love that never faded on me, Even when I left early, your prayers still carry me. I don’t travel much, but my heart stay rooted, My brother know I got him, that bond ain’t diluted. Friendships peeled back, some were venom in disguise, Now I keep my circle small with trustworthy eyes. I been through ups and downs, ins and outs, love and hate, But I’m still standing, still learning, still trusting my fate. (Hook) Mirror don’t lie, I’m learning to love what I see, Scars on my heart made a man out of me. Trials and tribulations, but I’m still on my feet, Crown on my soul, that’s the king in me. Mirror don’t lie, I’m finally proud to be free, Every chapter I lived wrote the man that I be. I’m just me, identically me, No apology, just me, identically me. (Verse 2) Time waits for no man, so I’m making good choices now, Navigating my journey, not sitting idle, I’m taking my vows. Age is just a number, bad decisions don’t define my page, I turned my story into wisdom, put my growth on center stage. Taking care of my body, my mind, my soul’s alignment, When anxiety creeps in, I breathe and find my timing. Sometimes I get emotional thinking about tomorrow’s test, Then I remember, live right now, and let the future rest. I’m single but hopeful, still believe in love’s design, Heartbreaks taught me how to heal, not how to decline. No kids yet, maybe I wasn’t ready in those past chapters, Now I’m preparing for fatherhood, chasing what truly matters. Until then I’m still growing, still becoming who I’m meant to be, Loving the reflection of the man that’s finally free. Relationships came and went, some loved me, some just used, But I never let the bitterness become my muse. I love life, even when it’s heavy, even when it rains, Because the storms revealed my strength, not just my pains. (Bridge) Family bonds stretch far but never break, Even when I’m distant, love’s the tie that nothing shakes. I’m emotional, yes, I overthink, I doubt, But I calm my spirit down and let my soul shout. I love my mom like the sky loves the stars above, And my brother’s success is the thing I’m most proud of. Envy from the shadows, fake friends with hidden scars, But I release them with no anger, I just look up at the stars. (Outro) This for the nights I cried and rebuilt my spine, For every imperfect step that still led me to shine. I’m just me, identically me, and that’s the victory. No apologies... Polo energy.
