[Intro] When I close my eyes, then I free myself No matter where I'm at, I just be myself I can't see myself, I can't see myself I can't see myself, I can't see myself Yeah, sh** First I break it down, then I roll it up, yeah Then I light it up, now I'm smokin' again Take a little puff, then I breathe it all, in (sh**) Pray father forgive, everyday I'm sinnin Take it to the end, this just the beginnin' Yeah sh** I haven't seen yet sh**, I can't see myself yet [?] you n***a yet sh** Get some for my city, yeah Holla if ya hear me, yeah Sing [Verse 1] Yo If it wasn't for my reflection, I would be forever guessin' Swear I got a billion questions The essence of adolescence is purity The homie told me "sacrifices come wit' maturity" And it's clear to me now Rest in peace to those not here wit' me now If my granny saw this day, would shed a tear for me now If my uncle saw this day, would come and give me a pound Like "damn nephew, you really did that sh**, wow" Take a look around, I'm comin' from a town that most people don't make it out sh** that I think about, the people I hang around The things that I've seen that influenced me since a little child It's trippin' me out I mean, who can I be? Other than me (nobody) sh**, what would I do if I was you? (no clue) Man, where'd I come from? Where do I go? Mirror, mirror on the wall, let a n***a know Cause [Chorus] I can't see myself, I can't see myself When I close my eyes, then I free myself
No matter where I'm at, I just be myself yeah, yeah (Come find me) I can't see myself, I can't see myself When I'm all alone (I just wanna feel loved) I don't need no help, I believe myself (yeah) Smokin' and drinkin' all by myself Hopin' and wishin' I find myself (come find me) Lord willin' we won't die tonight, we gon' fly tonight [Verse 2] Yeah Okay I'm sittin' here, tryin' think of the exact words for me to explain to you That it is what it is and that's what it's gon' be Ain't no changin' me (nope) Ain't no maybes and no probablys, I gotta be (myself) That's what it has to be, I'm happily, gladly, gradually Changin' reality for my family They proud of me Could've, never imagined or fathomed things that had happend The good, the bad, and the tragic The happy moments, the sad ones, the cla**ics My first time in Miami Pharrell had me out on Collins Ave The studio rappin' The last n***a signed to Star Trak, might get that sh** tatted And then we shriveled up the contract, and still keep in contact We beyond all that bullsh** and that nonsense And besides that I ain't gettin' that time back n***as know where my heart's at I just gotta move on, sh** Gotta get my own, sh** So I pray with all my might I walk by faith, and not by sight Because [Chorus] I can't see myself, I can't see myself, yeah I can't see myself, I can't see myself When I close my eyes, then I free myself
