Reflect

from The FREE EP by MC MJD

about

This track is something I wrote just after having a long hard look on all the good and bad things in my life n where it has taken me so far, I think we all need to reflect every now n then.

lyrics

Chorus:
Reflecting on my life
N I will never know why
The reasons that I lied
Until the day I die
Take time to reflect, take time to reflect, take time to reflect so that you can say you have no regrets.

Verse one:
Reflecting on things that I've done so far
I used to quit a lot of shit cos it got too hard
I'd pick it up, put it down, I took the easy way out
Left myself with nothing but self doubt
And it felt like shit, so I changed my life n the way that I lived it
Kept telling myself it's gonna get better
But inside I felt just a little bit deader
I put the mask on that you call a smile
It's been this way for a very long while
I can't find a place to call my home cos I lived in fear of the unknown
They say you gain culture, as you get older
But I feel like I'm stuck like a chain on a bolder or like I'm trapped n a prison, but with experience I gain more wisdom
But it's just not enough, I gotta push through when life gets tough
Instead of whinging n feelin sorry for myself
I'll focus on things like my own mental health
And maybe one day I can help someone else
Cos life with a purpose is what it's all about
To me every year they get a bit faster, So it becomes harder to be my own master.

Chorus

Verse two:
In case you haven't noticed I'm not one of you
I'm a little bit different in every point of view
I get out of bed on the right side
This world can be so ugly sometimes I'd rather hide
It's like I'm not movin fast, you're just stuck in slow mo
Or it seems that way to me cos I'm so small though
Either way I shouldn't really care, cos we all have to share the same air
I used to let insults get the very best of me
Felt sorry for myself like my life was a tragedy
I woke up one day n I shrugged off the apathy
Now I soak up all the peace n serenity
I don't expect you to understand where I stand
Or why I'm even here with my pen in my hand
To be honest sometimes I don't either man
I jump in the deep end without a back up plan
Lucky for me I don' t take life seriously
I feel bad for people that do ridiculously
It's your choice if you wanna live happily
Too many people choose to spread hate, yeah sadly
Make time for reflections
Cos some things need more attention
N other things need no mention
This is why I'm always stressin'

Chorus
