Oddisee - Saw Myself lyrics

[Hook] Look into my soul When you do, can you let me know: What do you see When you're looking at me? We can lose control If you're ready, then I gotta know Where you wanna be Where you wanna be? [Verse 1: Astonish] I'm trying to be a better me Poetically, there ain't a n***a that's ahead of me I better be the one you come to see when I'm in town And you can start acting like we're more than just friends now, and make love Not war cause we're losing a lot more Confusing the youth in the booth like we're not poor Cause I don't make it rain, but can bring a little sunshine Kick your pain, let you unwind I got a fire that they can't put out, that's why I stood out And you're the next DMX, bringing the hood out Astonish gonna k** it, who don't feel it? Covered in weed smoke, it cover the floor, ceilin', I'm so chillin' [Hook] [Verse 2: Jay Vega] Where you wanna be is wherever I are Like a shooting star, she spot me from far The twinkle in your eye sets my heart ablaze Where you wanna be is right here with Jay She tells me that she loves me, but not with words Her action speaks louder than a booming system, word Bodies connect like ethernet connection It's that 4G love and you gotta respect it I let her do her; in turn, she do me Can't ask for anything better, it's a beautiful thing In complete silence, we vibin' Presidential suites for my sweets, let's hit the island Taking trips without leaving the crib, yeah, we wildin' From the looks of things, my sense of humor got her smilin' My diamond girl, she shining and I got her, there's no problem From far I send her my love: 'mwah' [Hook] [Verse 3: Decay] I gotta be a better me But since being a gentleman is in the pedigree Sometimes people see weakness and the kindness And when they look at me they must be sufferin' blindness Hard to see the hardness of the level over ba** and treble And I can't afford to freeze like they poured metal So I settle into the mirror, I see some devils behind it Not Illuminati; it's the mistakes, I can't rewind it But the finest is the D-E, I'm happy when I see me Foreign in this game but still house the neighbors like a teepee Sound up, seat back, I'm leaned up in the ride Square biz, straight talk, look into my eyes You might see a lot more than what you saw before We all got good and bad, but who you ride for in the war? So from the heart, I'd rather build you up and help you through While you still sizing me up, so now I'm looking at you [Hook]
