[00:00.182][Intro]
[00:07.046]My name's Alfonso
[00:08.178][Chorus]
[00:08.425]If I can't be who I am with myself in the mirror
[00:13.008]Lie to the world but can't lie to yourself when it clear up
[00:17.896]Gotta be real to yourself in the end, wit' yourself in the end
[00:22.046]Gotta be real wit' yourself in the end, get selfish again
[00:26.614][Verse 1: RJMrLA]
[00:28.030]You can lie to everybody but your self-image
[00:30.875]In crowd got you wallowing in self-pity
[00:33.126]Pinned down, boxed in like a jail visit
[00:35.497]Buying up designer drugs, get a belt with it
[00:37.819]To hell with it, tell 'em open up the flood gates
[00:40.056]All them lies media feeding us, need a buffet
[00:42.473]All this genocide, they hiding it with a court date
[00:44.338]Kill a nigga, lock a nigga and abort the babies
[00:47.359]Man, I gotta be real wit' myself
[00:49.610]Man, them bottles and them pills never help
[00:51.900]Put the nozzle on the drill, give 'em hell
[00:54.248]I decided, gotta kill to prevail
[00:56.437]Stop that, you run from the truth like it's combat (Stop!)
[00:59.686]You reachin' your heights off of contact (Hey)
[01:02.117]Bitch, I'm me, all my ice just define that
[01:04.147][Chorus]
[01:04.820]If I can't be who I am with myself in the mirror
[01:09.573]Lie to the world but can't lie to yourself when it clear up
[01:14.162]Gotta be real to yourself in the end, wit' yourself in the end
[01:18.529]Gotta be real wit' yourself in the end, get selfish again
[01:22.741][Verse 2: Mozzy]
[01:24.987]Ay, G-O-D, I never lie
[01:27.261]I been on my grind, I been taking care of mines
[01:29.592]Supported brother when I saw him on the rise
[01:31.635]Niggas hated when I made it though, I saw it in his eyes
[01:34.527]What's the hate for? Tell a youngin "Take notes"
[01:36.649]All my lil' niggas got a chain when they bame home
[01:39.035]That's from all them overnighters in the same clothes
[01:41.303]Gotta discipline yourself and learn to play broke
[01:43.707]I ain't up at ten million, but I'm straight, though
[01:45.956]'Nother 10K retainer for the case closed
[01:48.464]My dog lost a trial but he came close
[01:50.633]Contemplated suicide and he came close
[01:53.052]I wanna see my people but I can't, though
[01:55.185]They'll **** around, send the task wearing plain clothes
[01:57.875]Call you Theodore if you aim low
[01:59.885]Forever I remain focused
[02:01.303][Chorus]
[02:01.637]If I can't be who I am with myself in the mirror
[02:05.987]Lie to the world but can't lie to yourself when it clear up
[02:10.492]Gotta be real to yourself in the end, wit' yourself in the end
[02:14.834]Gotta be real wit' yourself in the end, get selfish again
