This track here "Mirror" was originally meant to appear on Earl Sweatshirt's 2015 I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside. But for unfortunate reasons, it didn't make the final cut.
"The tracklist got fucked up." Earl explained in an interview with Pitchfork last April. "There was a song that’s so crucial for the balance of the album called ‘Mirror’ that was supposed to come right after ‘Faucet.'"
Thanks to the advanced internet-scrounging skills of those who frequent KanyeToThe.com, the track has now surfaced, 10 months after the release of the album. It showcases some intricate sampling work. Where Earl found that sample, only Jah knows.
Quotable Lyrics
High and level-headed, so I'm treading when the tire switch
Self-medic always to restless to let the time tick
Hit the door when it hit 7
Big Thebe, thickheaded, the ink in my pen heavy
Default friendly, but shit can get number ten, Messi
