[Verse 1: Arson Child]
Cautiously learning how to craft my art
Sitting on tracks for months just plottin’ that’s the hardest part
Giving em message just to keep em from falling apart
Self-improvement isn’t easy don’t know where to start
I’ll go and show my scars- maybe accept myself
I’ll learn to love myself- but nah my egos large
And these ain’t lines they bars, their quick poetic stunts
Rogue Poet, hip-hop junkie- really just a punk
But I can take a punch, take one so you give it
And I’m not talking child’s play man I’m over dissin’
I’m reppin’ Jesus mission like the Lazarus effect
Self-confidence is crucial we don’t need to second guess
I often wonder why I stress, like ignorance is bliss
And I ain’t talking love, I’m too young to fall again
I’m not strong enough for this, like this game will beat you up
Words can be so painful but you gotta learn to brush them off, that’s growing pains
[Hook: Arson Child]
I just gotta face the man in the mirror (I just gotta face the man in the mirror)
But I ain’t likin what he say to me (I ain’t likin what he say to me)
It’s really clear
I’m goin through these growing pains (Goin through these growin pains)
Honesty is over fake (Honesty is over fake)
Man in the mirror, I’m just tryna face the man in the mirror
[Verse 2: Arson Child]
Opened for Ruslan and Th3 Saga that one night in Brooklyn
Met Jeff and DZH, the door was open kicked my foot in
The door ain’t open, but window closed, so I booked it
I’ve had to fight since day one, and I ain’t ever shooken
Enjoy the high for just one night, than its back to bookin’
July I did 2 shows, summer 17 we cookin'
Just trust the process, I rep that like my motto
Just learn to count ya blessings feelin’ like I won the lotto
There’s a lot of junk that follows, but I ain’t talkin’ back down
Rebrand I’m back now, duh-dut like a smack down
But let’s be clear, that’s lyrical, I ain’t a boxer
But if you put my music in a ring you better watch out
Me and my girl went separate ways, ya that’s growing pains
Gotta learn from my mistakes, ya that’s learned traits
Gotta be the bigger me, rise above the fakes
Mirror mirror, hear it talking- call that scared straight
[Hook: Arson Child]
I just gotta face the man in the mirror (I just gotta face the man in the mirror)
But I ain’t likin what he say to me (I ain’t likin what he say to me)
It’s really clear
I’m goin through these growing pains (Goin through these growin pains)
Honesty is over fake (Honesty is over fake)
Man in the mirror, I’m just tryna face the man in the mirror
[Verse 3: Young Noah]
Allow me to keep it 100, I was getting blunted
Looking at the man in the mirror and what be becomin'
I was doing well until Jezebel was summoned
Outer Shell excelled, entrails plummet
Living a lie I can’t deny- honest
Wanted to die, but I’m alive-running
From the man in the mirror can’t get any clearer
That he and I are one, he and I are done
If change doesn’t come will we reign with the Son
Trying to figure it before a bitter end
Trying to figure out why his ego getting bigger then
Plethora of things that he need to be delivered in
Pride coming way before the fall
And I done fell harder than I’ll ever tell at all
And I done fell harder than the people that’s involved
So I don’t know why I point the finger back at ya’ll (hmm)
[Hook: Arson Child]
I just gotta face the man in the mirror (I just gotta face the man in the mirror)
But I ain’t likin what he say to me (I ain’t likin what he say to me)
It’s really clear
I’m goin through these growing pains (Goin through these growin pains)
Honesty is over fake (Honesty is over fake)
Man in the mirror, I’m just tryna face the man in the mirror
