Nearsighted Illmac

[Intro]
It's like it's a beautiful thing, man
Like every second is an opportunity, you know?
Just whether you cash in on that, the window never closes
Look...

[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning and I'm thankful that I'm still alive
Never complacent with this hunger that I feel inside
No swishers, no herb, when tryin' to fill our high
Not a man govern by urges but what I feel aside
Tryin' to learn something new, absorb it all in
That's what I do and I'm all in
Cause I'm comfortable in my own skin
I try to give you the truth, they looking at me like, "come again"
Once again, I'm a man with flaws
But understand it y'all: we all have things we can practise on
Yeah and I'm sure we've all been there
Time to prove there's more behind my words than thin air
The greatest award follows the hardest struggle
That's what I keep telling myself
So, excuse me if what you say gets ignored
I'm just focused on me and not everyone else... I'm sorry!

[Hook]
I can't see past my own nose
I know I have my own flaws
I can only see what's in front of me
Why they looking at me like, "what's been up with me?"
