THE HAND IN THE MIRROR:

I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND WHAT DO I SEE?
Am I THE HAND I WANTED TO BE?
DO I RESPECT THE OLD HANDS
WHO BUILT THE TRADE UP FOR ME?

OR say fuckTHOSE OLD FARTS CAUSE ITS ALL ABOUT ME.
DO I ANSWER THE PHONE WHEN IT RINGS LATE AT NIGHT? 
OR STAY WARM IN MY BED KNOWING SCARED CHILDREN ARE HOME WITH NO LIGHTS?

 WHEN THE ShiT GETS REAL DO I TAKE THE LEAD?
OR DO I DIVE IN A BIN AND SAY HELL NO, NOT ME.
WHEN AN APE NEEDS HELP DO I GIVE HIM A HAND,
OR DO I MAKE FUN OF HIS ASS TO FEEL LIKE A MAN?

DO I DO MY TRADE WITH QUALITY AND PRIDE?
OR THROW SHIT IN THE AIR AS PEOPLE GO BY?

WHEN I GO TO WORK DO I CARRY MY WEIGHT?
OR DO I SIT BACK AND LAUGH AND SAY  MAN THIS IS GREAT?
SO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND WHAT DO YOU SEE?
ARE YOU THE HAND YOU WANTED TO BE?
SO TO ALL MY BROTHERS OUT THERE, THIS IS MY PLEA,
LET'S ALL HELP EACH OTHER BE THE HANDS WE SHOULD BE?
