Lyrics

Mirror mirror On the wall Who's the blackest of us all I said Mirror mirror, Ooh On the wall Who the blackest baby, Yeah Well well well well well I know your soul Huh You're the place I call home I know who you are, baby I've been known Since the day you were born Since the day you were born The Return The Return The Return The Return The Return The Return The Return The Return Yeah yeah yeah yeah Bringing me in on back Bring me in on fast Living with my armor I'm tryna find me fast Take me to my soul Everything I know I just want my spirit to wander off no more Everything is here Everything familiar Everything I've seen and it's everything I hear Bring me in on near Bring me to my soul Take me to my spirit And Bring me in back home because I'm coming back, I'm coming back I'm coming back home I'm coming back, I'm coming back I'm coming back home I'm coming back, I'm coming back I'm coming back home I'm coming back home I'm coming back home I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming back home I'm coming home Broken, bruised and battered Wandering this world aimlessly As the house nigga of this country As the house nigga of this country I'd better find myself Before I breed my self hate into this world I'd better better find myself Before I breed my self hate into this world I'm not here to plead Or ask for your sympathy Are you too blind to see Who's the blackest? Is medicine your sole benefit Did you develop it to for your menacing? You wave your arms in victory The cost of your opportunity I don't want 'em You're so clean and brown So clean and brown Ooh To tell yourself the truth Is hard to do Ooh The little lies That build up just to get me through Ooh My day to day My day to day My day to fade away Hide these eyes away From the hard truths that you have to face The world keeps on turning It will always change Accept yourself Return to late Return to self Return your fate Return to love Return to love Return return The return The return The return The return 'Cos tomorrow's not promised for me Seeing my single momma Surviving to struggle this way The return The return Of myself to myself Yo, this is the real story I just wanna be back man I just wanna be back I wanna be back in the right state of mind I wanna be back to my happy self I wanna be back to my passionate mindset I wanna be me again you know 'Cos I This sounds like I'm tryna do that RnB shit But yo, Let me slow it down Yo, It's hard out here for a brother and sister Going through this immigration mindset You know, we tryna find our own spot in here And music is my way of expressing My return, my self, my beginnings I just wanna be me I hope you can understand that And that's where I'm at So, Return to oneself Return to the motherland Return to your mind Return to everything Return
