Lyrics to Mirror by Lil Wayne x Bruno Mars
[Lil Wayne:]
With everything happening today
You don’t know whether you’re coming or going
But you think that you’re on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don’t blow it
Look at me when I’m talking to you
You looking at me but I’m looking through you
I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you’re not satisfied
And I don’t see nobody else
I see myself I’m looking at the
[Bruno Mars:]
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You’ve been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin’ to each other again?
[Lil Wayne:]
Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I’m with you when you are all alone
And you correct me when I’m looking wrong
I see the guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pane
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne, I’m looking at the…
[Bruno Mars:]
Mirror on the wall, here we are again ([Wayne:] Yeah)
Through my rise and fall ([Wayne:] Uh-Huh)
You’ve been my only friend ([Wayne:] my only friend)
You told me that they can understand the man I am ([Wayne:] they can understand)
So why are we here ([Wayne:] misunderstood) talkin’ to each other again?
[Lil Wayne:]
Looking at me now I can see my past
Damn I look just like my fucking dad
Light it up, that’s smoke in mirrors
I even look good in the broken mirror
I see my momma smile that’s a blessing
I see the change, I see the message
And no message could’ve been any clearer
So I’m startin’ with the man in the…
[Bruno Mars:]
Mirror on the wall,
[Lil Wayne:]
MJ taught me that.
[Bruno Mars:]
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You’ve been my only friend
[Lil Wayne:]
Take em to Mars man
[Bruno Mars:]
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we talkin’ to each other again?
[Lil Wayne:]
Uh…
Mirror on the wall, here we are again ([Wayne:] yeah)
Through my rise and fall
You’ve been my only friend ([Wayne:] Any questions?)
You told me that they can ([Wayne:] I come to you)
understand the man I am ([Wayne:] You always have the answer)
So why are we here talkin’ to each other again?
[Bruno Mars:]
Mirror on the wall.
[Wayne:]
A.B.P.
Looks like I did take em’ to Mars this time
[Bruno Mars:]
(So why are we talking to each other again?)
