Starring at your reflection
thinking this is who you are...
but this isn't who you are
it's who you're pretending to be...
Put that gun down man
pick up that book
why don't you read?
knowledge is your power
not how many gun shots you take and surviving after you bleed

That's not what makes you a man
take another look in the mirror...
why you look so mean?
you want people to fear you
so many dudes like you i've seen

That doesnt make you a man....
tell me... do you hear me?
listen to what i'm trying to say ...
i know he hears me cz this man cried today

He stood infront of the mirror
and remembered everything i said
he stood there crying
and said "lucky i'm not dead"

The new man in the mirror put his gun down
picked up his pen
it was his new weapon now.....
