Mirror
How would it feel
to wake up and look in the mirror
and see that your face is a woman's?
Prob pretty good,
cause you wouldn't have to shave and
you could paint up your new face
any way ya wanna.
How would it feel
to wake up and look in the mirror
and see that your face is dark chocolate colored?
Prob pretty good
cause it's such a beautiful color
until you run out of gas after dark and have to
walk the streets to a gas station knowin' the first cop sees ya will harass ya.
How would it feel
to wake up and look in the mirror
and see the face of Jesus?
Prob would be freak-out
cause chances are Jesus don't
look anything like how he's been pictured.
