[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
