See Me Now

[Intro: Brett]
"I just want you to know how sorry we are
That, that things got so fucked up with us and—
We got into this thing with the best intentions, really..."

[Pre-Verse: Jimmy Nice]
Yeah, all right
On the brink, pourin' drinks into my new cup
Hopin' time will tell before my time is up
I'm one with the night, so I don't stay inside too much
The confines of my mind can't find true love

[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
Still I walk 'round these low lit lanes like you don't miss
Scared of the open road, I lose focus
Crowd of a thousand eyes, I'm tryna get you
To notice, some would say it's hopeless
Somedays I psych myself up to call my dad
Never had someone I could call my dad
I ain't even have a home phone at the pad
I called on myself when all turned bad
Fame gave me the start and still I pay homage
Imagine if he never called that radio office
Said I'm a writer, open mic, a train hopper
Find solace in the cloak of night, like grave robbers

[Pre-Chorus 1: Jimmy Nice]
And I'm off to a few, get invited (yeah)
High by the clouds with a view of the lightning (yeah, yeah)
Every time we fight you tell me I'm just like 'im
Listen wit' ya heart, baby, close both eyes, can you see me now?

[Chorus: Jimmy Nice]
Yeah, can you see me now?
You're welcome, One Day
You see me now?
Can you see me now?
Listen with your heart
Baby, close both eyes, see me now?

[Verse 2: Nick Lupi]
Do you remember me? Still here where I left ya
Can't seem to switch direction
Always seem to come up short
Even though we had the best intentions
White knuckles from the fist she's clenchin'
Telling me she heard enough
If you don't like the answers that I got for ya
Well maybe you should ask different questions
Uh, I heard they fell out wit' they label
No radio play, been unstable
Maybe with their time been wasteful
Let me break it down kid, get a plateful
Nick and Jimmy, them kids from the Syndicate
We bringin' it back for the faithful
No rhyme could capture how grateful
But you can this tape, get a face-full

[Pre-Chorus 2: Nick Lupi]
Still I show no signs of relentin'
Plus I got no time for repentin'
Maybe it's destined
Shit, I'm a couple years shy of an intervention
Yeah, set it off like riots in detention
Cigarette lighter to the bed springs
Now that I got your attention
Live from the insurrection, can you see me now?

[Chorus: Nick Lupi]
Uh, can you see me now?
One Day
Can you see me now?
Listen with your heart
Baby, close both eyes, see me now?

[Outro: Jules Winnfield]
"Please, continue
You were saying something about best intentions
What's the matter?
Oh, you were finished!
Well, allow me to retort"
