[Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]
Tell me, what do you see when you look in my eyes? (Yeah)
Got a lot on my mind
Hopin' I never be goin' out of my mind
Been tryna mature without growin' out of my prime
I thought I was ready, it really wasn't my time
I know, I live in my head
I said I'd be rich and I did what I did
But I don't do this shit for me, I do this shit for my kids
I teach 'em how to go and get it when they ready to leave
Been tired of livin' up in hell when I know heaven is free
And nothin' really more important than protectin' they peace
I wanna teach 'em how to grow up and be better than me
When I was chasin' all the paper, with no second to breathe
And I tell myself to never give up and accept the defeat
And my premonitions already written indefinitely
But I never listen, I know my vision and never could see
And truthfully, I wasn't even supposed to make it this far (Ayy)
Or take it this far
I know that God got me, I'm thankin' Him for it (Yeah)
Soon as I get it, then I'll be payin' Him for it
You know you made it when all the haters support (Haters support)
The haters support (Yeah)
Joyner been workin' and I ain't takin' no shorts
When they tell me be humble, then I'ma take in too far
Shit, I used to feel like Will, now I'm feelin' like, uh
Made mistakes, can't get it right, yeah
Niggas can't stand me, I'm livin' like, ooh
Tryna win the Grammy like Killer Mike, uh
I'm a underdog like Killer Mike, yeah
Took a lot of L's tryna win the fight, ooh
Got back up, I'm still alright, yeah
I'll be alright, I'm still alright, yeah
And I don't really care 'bout nothin' except for keepin' my legacy
Hopin' I'll be livin' long enough to see what the end'll be
Had to take a shot for every nigga tryna get rid of me
I wish they could look inside my soul and see what they did to me
I got a fire inside me and it's seepin' within me
When I look inside the mirror, all I see is the little me
Wishin' I could break out, but I hope the evil don't hinder me
If I overcome it, then I'll be achievin' the victory, yeah
Tell me, what do you see when you look in my eyes? (Yeah)
Got a lot on my mind
