Mirror Talk

Lyrics

[Intro] They talk when the door stays closed I walk in and the whole room knows [Verse 1] You built your throne from borrowed lines I built mine from overtime Every little rumor that you throw Turns to another number on my show You want the crown but skip the climb Copy the pose, can’t copy the mind I don’t need permission from a crowd My work speaks first, my name speaks loud [Pre-Chorus] I kept the receipts in a silver case Turned every doubt into polished taste You can keep talking from the cheap seats I’m already where the ceiling breaks [Chorus] Look up, look up, I’m above that noise Made my own lane, made my own choice You bring a spark, I bring the whole flame You chase the wave, I became the wave No, I won’t shrink so you feel tall I built this shine from every fall Say my name, then watch me rise I’m the standard in your eyes [Verse 2] You count my steps like a daily chore While I add one more to the scoreboard Talent isn’t something you can fake It’s the hours nobody sees me make Pretty little comments, paper-thin Fold them up and frame another win I don’t wrestle with a hollow claim I let the finish line explain [Pre-Chorus] I kept the receipts in a silver case Turned every doubt into polished taste You can keep talking from the cheap seats I’m already where the ceiling breaks [Chorus] Look up, look up, I’m above that noise Made my own lane, made my own choice You bring a spark, I bring the whole flame You chase the wave, I became the wave No, I won’t shrink so you feel tall I built this shine from every fall Say my name, then watch me rise I’m the standard in your eyes [Bridge] Quiet now, hear the room change One breath and I redraw the frame If you wanted me to disappear Why am I the only name you hear? I don’t need your seat at the table I brought my own, I made it stable From the floor to the highest view Everything I have, I made it true [Final Chorus] Look up, look up, I’m above that noise Made my own lane, made my own choice You bring a spark, I bring the whole flame You chase the wave, I became the wave No, I won’t shrink so you feel tall I built this shine from every fall Say my name, then watch me rise I’m the standard in your eyes [Outro] Keep your talk, I’ll keep my pace No borrowed crown can take my place
