Man in the Mirror Rhymefest

[Verse One: Rhymefest]
Can't you see? When the pain goes deep
You need an IV, bomaye, El Che to Ali
It's all good, Jamaicans say, "I'm irie"
Nah, that's not me
It's all irony, I'm tryna be down to Earth, India Arie
Without the oils and beads, but where I'm free
From the wars and haters tryna stop me
No, it's not me, I swear it's not me
I blame my father for running out when I was three
Born in the ghetto, I'm a product of society
I blame my eighth-grade teacher for tryna silence me
Yeah, I act violently
I used to feel like God don't love me
Maybe the problem is I don't love me
I was livin' wrong so my mom don't trust me
But I know who I am, God don't make ugly
Or mistakes or lies, my mistakes is mine
Told my girl pack her bags, no more wasting time
Any excuse is lame, if you stay, we dying
I ain't look to nobody for help, I'm, I'm—

[Hook: Michael Jackson]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
