[Verse 1] It was my eyes that saw, all the torture and war And the all out brawls, and i've seen people crawl On the floor tryna get to the door to escape All the violence, and all the crime that goes on No one knows where the line's at, when will this time pa** I've seen people fight, i've seen peoples knives I've seen people handle beef and strife And most of it turns out to be outrageous it's dangerous And it's hard to evade this, everyone's looking for a place Where they can be the safest I've seen people get arrested, i've seen people get a record People care more about being cool than profession People are just recklessly pulling out weapons and Weaponry is handled so much separately In the facility of their own houses d**hs each year are increasing by thousands [Hook] What my eyez have seen x2 [Verse 2] My eyes have also seen things that were good Showing love and helping people in the hood Yeah there's a lot of bad but the good is exceptional I saw people helping people during a crisis it's acceptable I've seen good people lend a hand and support
Not people who would leave you stranded at the airport I've seen organizations to help like food drives And if someone pa**es they have a heart to care who died I've seen people who had hardships succeed And vow to help people with their needs for as long as they breathe I've seen people graduate at the top of they cla**es After a hard days work take a rest on the mattress I've seen a young girl with dreams blossom into an actress And young kids with talent blossom into rappers I've seen people donate millions to hospitals And help so many people you'd swear it's impossible I've seen people overcome trials and obstacles And are inspirations to people with rocky roads And are there for people who come from rocky homes I've seen people help out and give back to the community And donate money that they would have spent on j**elry People are steppin' up puttin' and end to tomfoolery And finally realizing the world should live in unity [Hook] What my eyez have seen x4 Yeah, what my eyez have seen
