Speaker A
Rise and fall. Still, I'm standing 10 feet tall. Mirror, mirror, don't lie. I can see it in my eyes. Truth surfaces every time. Even when dancing with my shadow in a room full of gold, trying to count on my regrets like the stories I told. Mama said, "Boy, don't sell your soul for applause." But the silence is louder than a million gods. I've seen kings fall quick for a hit on a rail. Seen queens trade crowns for a six-figure deal. I don't blame them, I just pray for us all. Mistakes from the cage out the graveyard. Living like a movie, but the credits never roll. They going to crop you out the frame.
