Through my eyes by X LaAfrica Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Sometimes I wish I was someone else but I'm proud to say that I made it here with no one else but me
Family is all I got, even though momma never understood that it's an art
And it's kinda hard explaining it to my dad how we making money from all things I never said to him
But I'm really glad that I went through it, and I'm really glad that I ain't sewage
But never did how my friends did, but I ain't judging cause I ain't suing
I remember how I did for a different code all I did was turn into Pinocchio
Man this ain't a joke making money selling dope
Waking up with a feeling like I'm all alone
Is God listening man I don't know or maybe I gotta use a different code
And I've been on the low so I get high
Lost a lot of friends even though they never pass by
I ain't mad about it but I don't skip the topic even though when I think about it I get nauseous
Two years ago I slept in front of a shop cause my ex girl kicked me out shit
That's the same year I met a girl who saw the vision, when one door closes another one opens
So I shift the focus forgot all about the show biz
But I missed the feeling when I saw myself on YouTube
And my boy kev telling me this is what you do
Didn't know what to say I just said it's voodoo
(Verse 2)
Walk a mile in my shoes and you'll understand that I takes more than balls to be called a called a man
Got my first job at the age of 17, knew how to pay Bill's at the age of 18
So I moved out at the age of 19, 20 I was thinking about big things
Hitting shows man it felt like a day dream when I realized that my manager had played me ( fuck it)
Been thinking about lately
But let bygones be bygones
What goes around comes around like a cyclops
I never needed no body to lean on
No hand outs but they hands out
If it don't make money it don't makes
If it don't make sense than it don't count
If it don't count than we go south
But I'm still here if you need me though
Man I never stop keep believing bro
Sometimes I wish I was someone else but I'm proud to say that I made it here with no one else but me
Family is all I got, even though momma never understood that it's an art
And it's kinda hard explaining it to my dad how we making money from all things I never said to him
But I'm really glad that I went through it, and I'm really glad that I ain't sewage
But never did how my friends did, but I ain't judging cause I ain't suing
I remember how I did for a different code all I did was turn into Pinocchio
Man this ain't a joke making money selling dope
Waking up with a feeling like I'm all alone
Is God listening man I don't know or maybe I gotta use a different code
And I've been on the low so I get high
Lost a lot of friends even though they never pass by
