&quot;Federal Agents could be tracking you right now for even considering the name Muhammad.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Dad, you were like a father to me.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You are on crack, alright? And not the good kind.&quot;

I’m breaking down,
I’m screaming out loud,
“This isn’t who I am,
This isn’t who I ever was”
But right now I don’t even give a da**,
Cause you took the girl in the mirror,
You damaged and destroyed her.
You left the pieces,
For her to put together again.
She did it all wrong,
Now she’ll never be the same again.
Cause you took the girl in the mirror.
