grey matter - reflect lyrics
[intro]
what is a better life?
if you really think about it, what is a better life?
a bigger car?
by the way, rolls royces don’t go faster than any other car, that’s just something that we like
that’s not a better life
a better life is being happy and understanding that, like, you can do anything you wanna do
[verse 1]
hey, you remember being little and never eating your food
and your mom would talk about less fortunate kids than you and how
they ain’t have no food but you couldn’t understand it
’cause you were just a kid so you wouldn’t finish your sandwich or
whatever it was that you had on your plate
the bottom line you didn’t want it so it didn’t get ate
but see now, you’re grown and old and maybe you got kids
and when they do the same thing you tell the story to them
it’s funny
how life does that, repeatin’ itself
just like what you saw in your parents you ain’t see in yourself
but see now when you see your parents you could see it yourself
you turned out to be just like them
good or bad
and hopefully good, mine’s good
i know i’ve made decisions i’ve hoped my mom would
and sh-t, i know i’ve made decisions my dad wished that he did so
he could be around back when i was still a kid
’cause back when i was still a kid i used to wish that we had money so
i could go to school without havin’ to look so bummy
but f-ck it, my mother loved me did the best that she could do
so i ain’t care what i was wearin’ to school
that sh-t is true
[hook]
that’s why i pause
look at my life and then reflect
i ain’t upset ’cause i’m alive
and i thank god that i’m still breathin’
’cause sh-t could be worse right now(x2)
[verse 2]
you know the times that you just wanna take a ride in the whip
but felt embarr-ssed each and every time you ride in the whip
but sh-t f-ck it, you’d suck it up and when you ride in the strip
you see another motherf-cker ridin’ by in his sh-t
and it’s clean
pristine, the rims don’t stop
all types of tv screens, plus an optional top
and the system, when he rolls through bumpin’ its mean
and with every kick of the b-ss it stays crushin’ your dreams
so you think
life’s tough and sh-t’s as rough as it seems
and it could bring you to the point you almost buckle your knees but then
right while you’re thinkin’ bout how bad life got
you see another motherf-cker spendin’ life in a box
and he’s homeless beggin’ for change, and most people don’t got none
you want another car and he just wishin’ he got one
but on the real, he’d probably trade it for a meal
so that momentary hunger he would never have to feel and it sucks
life is like a slap in the face
we need to change our way of thinkin’ take it back and retrace
because whether or not you may have made that many mistakes
seein’ that is all it takes to put you back in your place
[hook]
so just pause
look at your life and then reflect
don’t get upset ’cause you’re alive
and you should thank god that you’re still breathin’
’cause sh-t could be worse right now(x2)
[verse 3]
you ever known somebody that needed your help
and you wanted to help but help is what you needed yourself
even with the ebt you’re barely feeding yourself
just tryna stay above water, barely breathing yourself
and i know, you got a job but that job don’t pay nothin’
and your boss stay frontin’ like you won’t say somethin’
but sh-t, not that you won’t, it’s more like you can’t
’cause if you get fired then how you gon’ pay the rent
they got that squeeze on you
and the hold is like a python
you just tryna put some food on the table and keep the lights on and
water in the pipes so you can clean and bathe
and not get written up at work because you need to shave
and it’s not fair
how life works like that
you put in work and you supposed to get it’s worth right back
and i know
you don’t and sometimes you feel cheated
but smile, be happy that you’re alive and still breathin’ and while
sh-t is bad now it only gets better
even if it gets worse first don’t fold to the pressure
or succ-mb to the pain of the everyday struggle
we build character and muscle workin’ through the hustle so yo
keep it movin’ and just do what you do
regardless of the situations life is puttin’ you through
all you have to remember is that
you’re still alive and
breathin’ walkin’ eatin’ and capable of survivin’
[hook]
so pause
look at our lives and then reflect
let’s not get upset ’cause we’re alive
we should thank god that we’re still breathin’
’cause sh-t could be worse right now(x2)
