**Intro**
Yeah, uh,
Look, look,
It's easy to criticize, isn't it?
But sometimes the worst enemy is in the mirror.
**Verse 1**
I am the judge, I am the jury, I am the king of speech,
I point my finger, I don't care if it's fair.
I see everyone fall, but I never see the ground,
Because the one who is most broken, is me in this game.
I speak of greatness as if it were in my hands,
But I hide my flaws, I bury them under planes.
Success is sweet, but the poison is bitter,
And I don't see my poison until there is no more embargo.
**Pre-chorus**
I want to be perfect, but I don't know how,
I criticize others, but I have lead in myself.
I give lessons, but I don't learn anything,
And the mirror reflects my plays.
**Chorus**
It's so easy to judge, when I'm not the one who carries,
I blame others for my own burden.
But look at me well, don't you see the same fire?
The flame I criticize is the one I carry inside.
**Verse 2**
I walk between giants, but I feel small,
My ambition is high, but I stumble on my dream.
I throw stones from a crystal castle,
But when it falls, who am I going to blame?
I put on masks, so I don't see what hurts,
While I judge the rest for not being where they should be.
I look at his failures as if they were the end,
But if you see my soul, it's broken just like a violin.
**Pre-chorus**
I want to be perfect, but I don't know how,
I criticize others, but I have lead in myself.
I give lessons, but I don't learn anything,
And the mirror reflects my plays.
**Chorus**
It's so easy to judge, when I'm not the one who carries,
I blame others for my own burden.
But look at me well, don't you see the same fire?
The flame I criticize is the one I carry inside.
**Bridge**
Yeah, I look at you and I look at myself,
We are mirrors, we are enemies,
Everything I point out, is what I shut up,
Everything I judge, is what I fail.
**Other**
That's right, right?
What I criticize about you is what hurts me.
Sometimes the one who talks the most is the one who has to listen the most...
But you already know that, right?
Yeah.

This theme plays with the internal confrontation of judging others without recognizing one's own mistakes, maintaining the lyrical and self-critical style of Kanye West.
