THROUGH MY EYES

(album: GOD SAVE THE STREETS - 2023)

If you could see through my eyes

Then you would understand me a little bit
Three white, one brown that's a little mix
All the youngers got nuff sweets on them its pic n mix
Mums in bits, she don't wanna be in the bits
Uncle told me I'm the man of the house, I was still a kid
Getting growing pains from the shit I was carrying
Yeah

If you could see through my eyes

Yeah, I see the olders on the block in a drop top
It made me wanna drop out of school so I dropped off a bit
Fuck a professor I ain't listening, I'm not profiting
Never had a had a job, I was on job
Getting rid of work every day, I did not stop
And I really set the bar most high and that's on God

If you could see through my eyes

Yeah, you would've seen a lot
Self-sabotage, I told myself I wouldn't be a lot
Really took a gamble on myself and I beat the odds
Man are really tryna aim at you when you're beaten shot
Tryna get this fast money got me speeding off in a Punto
With goods on me like we never came from a good home
Push me to the limit and am still gonna push though
'Cause too much will never be enough

If you could see through my eyes

Yeah, and you would've had PTSD as well
VVS's on me, I don't need CV as well
From tryna make a killing, you can die in the street as well
In the T thinking, am I ending up on a T as well?
I went off the rails back when I was on TFL
They tried to box me in but I delivered, I'm DHL
My dreams didn't shatter, the glass ceiling fell

If you could see through my eyes

Yeah, then you would understand why I had a vision
Really could've stayed in OT but I had a mission
Trapping nearly trapped me in the cycle and that was vicious
Man were getting's AM's 'cause they never had ambition
Instead of smoking ammi or rolling with ammunition
I really had a target and first it was hit and missing
Till I dropped my first hit and that's when I went missing

If you could see through

Yeah, then you'll be blinded, diamonds
Bro flooded, women wanna dive in
Sat on heat in seats I'm laid back so I reclined it
They been sleeping on me, I can see it on their eyelids
Shootouts, they woke us up when they would rise
We was outside but we still was outsiders
All those flip decision but they still couldn't divide us
I'm glad valued brotherhood and all my guys did

If you could see through my eyes
