ELZhi, Monica Blaire - Smoke & Mirrors lyrics

Vow to make my reflection proud nigga
You should kick rocks and then
Take the cloud with you
If we have a record shot
It's not allowed on silence
Don’t talk louder than
My preaching giving the crowd scripture
Have thoughts of running wild and being
Profiled with you then I smile as I if stand
In my future child's picture
I was exiled to put it mild
Probably caught up in common curveballs
Life was profound

Used to work at UPS
Moving boxes, shoes and watches
See my distant future in a vision
I ain't use binoculars
In my eyes I seen dollars signs, joy
Disappointment african to son of god
Every blessing is anointed
I can see a prodigy i can see Miletus
I can see a see a humble servant-hеaler
I can see in loss wasn’t taught to be a boss
Go to school make your A's
Gеt your masters find a job
Settle down take a raise
Behind the knob there's a door
For decisions you can open
Hoping that you pick the right one
And quite done
Coping with the fact that you
Picked the wrong one
It hit you a like a strong ton of bricks
And you can't fix a shortcut in the long run
Your friends who were foes
Who didn't know you were chose
You're a king, you're a
Diamond, you're a comet, you’re a rose
You’re a pyramid you appear up in Madrid
You appear in the Mid' life crisis

All I see, in the mirror while I smoke
To get in the proper headspace
In case there’s a test I gotta ace
Cause the racist thought I would be dead
In jail, or at home with an ankle brace

When I'm top tier from angle spaced
Dropped here made a splash in the great lakes
Note the gator fashion
Players play the game till
They fade and crashin'
Pray they pass the police to go east
Off of eight mile a mile
I've seen a businessman
They killed em where his trials is
See a scientist, an alien
The purest form of savagery
The strategy is plain - get on
Some land an live lavishly
I told a nigga crew
Sometimes I see a failure
Other times I a see a warrior
I can see euphoria and
Flashbacks of Gloria who said
I wouldn’t be shit in my living room a month
After my mom's passed
Pops held her back though he
Fed into her lies
Years go I'm still affected
I can see it my eyes

Like the marijuana leaf that kief by myself
In a mirror for a clearer
Understanding of my health
Mentally I can see I was meant to be a threat
Its in my eyes I see
Red when I'm physically upset
Getting lost in my reflection
I can see respiration then I see recollection
Now I see resurrection

I'm a champ I'm a leader I'm
A prophet I'm a rebel i'm a dragon
I'm a beast if a stoop to your level
On my block I'm a paradox I'm a pandora's box
Filled with rocks couple Glocks
Blood money for some stocks
I can see an open mic off of 7 mile and 40
Used to battle up in Coney
They don't know me
Y'all destroy your student body
Catch a case and I might
Have to call a lawyer just to beat it
You don't see a phoenix?
You don't see my aura?
You don't see a legend
You don't see a glow as
It's turning as it's turning
Can you see what I see?
I can see a passion burning

Like the marijuana leaf that I kief by myself
In a mirror for a clearer
Understanding of my health
Mentally I can see I was meant to be a threat
Its in my eyes - I see a
Red one when I'm physically upset

Getting lost in my reflection
I can see respiration
Then I see recollection
Now I see resurrection now I see

Ohhh ohhh ohhhh oh whoooa
Yeahh yeahhh hey hey hey yeah
Ohhh ohhh ohhhh
