Kendrick Lamar: Mirror

I choose me

The pressure's taking over me, it's beginning to loom
Better if I spare your feelings and tell you the truth
Lately, I redirected my point of view
You won't grow waitin' on me
I can't live in the Matrix, huh
Rather for sure than your graces, huh
This time I won't trade places, huh
Not about who's right, who's wrong, huh
Evolve, the only thing known, huh
Ask me when I'm coming home, huh
Bleed twice again, I'm gone

I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry

She woke up in the morning for the daily news
I was all low in the morning due to family feuds
Baby, I told you a story and I'll lay down all the rules
Still, you wasn't gon' wait on me

I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry

'Cause all of us toxic
Girl, I'm not relevant to givin' on profit
Personal gain off my pain, it's nonsense
Darlin' my demons is off the leash for a moshpit
Baby, I just had a baby, she need me
Workin' on myself, the counselin' is not easy
Don't you point a finger, just to point a finger
'Cause critical thinkin' is a deal-breaker
Faith in one man is a ship sinking
Do yourself a favor and get a mirror
The mirror grieving
Then point it at me so the reflection can mirror freedom
She told me she need me the most, I didn't believe her
She even called me names on the post, the world can see it
Jokes and gaslightin'
Mad at me 'cause she didn't get my vote, she say I'm triffiln'
Disregardin' the way that I cope with my own vices
Maybe, it's time to break it off
Runaway from the culture to follow my heart

I realized, true love's not savin' face, but, unconditional
When will you let me go?
I trust your fine independence
If not, then all is forgiven
Sorry our things saved the world my friend
I was too busy buildin' my redempt'

I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
I choose me, I'm sorry
