My Own Eyes

(I done seen some things)
(With my own eyes)
(With my own eyes)

I remember I was showing off
But wasn't going off
Now I'm ballin' killer with the J
Like my name Orenthal
It took time but least I'm on that
Like I had a stolen watch
Ya'll thought business
Was my grind
Til I showed y'all
It's personal
Prolly got misconstrued
How deep my heart in this
To overcome
Daily animosity and
Changes 'round me
It's my protocol sometimes
Things would get hard
But best believe I walked it off
Flaked out on some surgeons
I put bandages on broken bones
Over time my heart got harder
To break in like home alone
Learn things like bread ain't nun
If you can't cheese
And I got provolone
And some be try'na fake it
Over other faces, totem pole
See I made time for myself
Before the money ever showed

Money don't mean shit
Without self love
I done seen the richest
Deposit they pain to a club
I mean find a way for you
Just don't give up
I done seen some
Force it for some bucks
I done seen some lose themselves
Get mapped out by these drugs
I done seen some
Prove themselves
Get tapped out by a slug
I done seen the cleanest
End up right back in the mud
(With my own eyes)

I done seen so many things
But ain't turn out the same
Ain't fall for that pressure
Learned from those mistakes Taught myself the opposite
My off days still paid
And I don't mean shoutout
To a pharmacist
But I had the right aid
All the while I did it
With a happy face and
God knows my speed
Let him guide me
At a faster pace
Broke me out my comfort zone
Let those flowers free
He smashed the vase
So sugar sweet so young
Broke my complacency
Like amylase
Number 1 soon
Put that in ya data banks
My opps singing my songs
For me
Then I sing my amazing grace
You funnier than Eddie
If you think we'd be
Trading places
I can't stop and waste these years
I put in 'nd damn near
Slaved away

Money don't mean shit
Without self love
I done seen the richest
Deposit they pain to a club
I mean find a way for you
Just don't give up
I done seen some
Force it for some bucks
I done seen some lose themselves
Get mapped out by these drugs
I done seen some
Prove themselves
Get tapped out by a slug
I done seen the cleanest
End up right back in the mud
(With my own eyes)
