By The Look
Yeah yeah
Just keep your eyes on me
And not for the prize
Authenticity got people thinking it's a disguise
But the truth is I don't step out of the booth
My mental health steady dipping people think it's a fluke
I'm not okay
But I keep a smile on my face
Being a quitters not an option I think that's a disgrace
People speak on me but can't ID
A single trait that I possess that's making me unique
They'd rather
Spread the rumor for a laugh, where's the humor
Skill was laying dormant I see imma late bloomer
Long as I keep pushing I know it'll come sooner or later
Like Ryu squaring off with Akuma
My fight or flight delayed
Would rather write on the page
That gave birth to the songs that I quote
I cope with jokes
I don't know the cause but I hope
To get through
To get through
Just cause they think that they know who I am
Don't mean that's who I gotta be
Tell me to run away
If I run then how will I reach my destiny
They judging a book
Just by the look
But I'm more than the eye can see
They judging a book
Just by the look
I tell em to keep their eyes on me
Just keep your eyes on me
Shame shame
Things don't change
They still talking down own my name
Lame lame
This no game
Fortune or fame I'll remain the same
Back to the honesty
Things that people promised, they lied
Kept the modesty, but I had to ditch all the pride
Can't decide if they wanna be Biggie or Pac
Let em rest
You just trynna reenact getting shot
I'm bout peace
So I'm confused about your motive
Talk behind my back
Know you praying I never notice
Way that I've been working you'd think that I'm meeting quotas
You in competition that means you standing below us
But I'm not
Trynna look down on you bro
Wanted everybody winning
I was counting on you bro
Got it on my own
You surprised to see
How I'm gon keep all eyes on me
A lot of people, black, white, Mexican, young, or old, fat or skinny
Have a problem being true to they self
They have a problem looking in the mirror and looking directly into they own souls
The reason I sell 6 million records
The reason I can go to jail and come out without a scratch
The reason I can walk around
The reason I am who I am today
Is because I can look directly into my face and find my soul
Just cause they think that they know who I am
Don't mean that's who I gotta be
Tell me to run away
If I run then how will I reach my destiny
They judging a book
Just by the look
But I'm more than the eye can see
They judging a book
Just by the look
I tell em to keep their eyes on me
Just keep your eyes on me
Just keep your eyes on me
And not for the prize
Authenticity got people thinking it's a disguise
But the truth is I don't step out of the booth
My mental health steady dipping people think it's a fluke
