[Verse]
If you could see through my eyes
Then you would understand me a little bit
Three white, one brown that's a little mix
All the youngers got 'nuff sweets on 'em, it's Pick n Mix
Mums in bits, she don't wanna be in the bits
Uncle told me I'm the man of the house, I was still a kid
Gettin' growin' pains from the shit I was carrying, yeah
If you could see through my eyes
Yeah, I see the olders on the block in a drop top
It made me wanna drop out of school so I dropped off a bit
Fuck a professor I ain't listenin', I'm not profitin'
Never had a job, I was on job
Gettin' rid of work every day, I did not stop
And I really set the bar most high and that's on God
If you could see through my eyes
Yeah, you would've seen a lot
Self-sabotage, I told myself I wouldn't be a lot
Really took a gamble on myself and I beat the odds
Man are really tryna aim at you when you're beatin' shots
Tryna get this fast money, got me speedin' off in a Punto
With goods on me like we never came from a good home
Push me to the limit and am still gonna push though
'Cause too much will never be enough
If you could see through my eyes
Yeah, and you would've had PTSD as well
VVS's on me, I don't need CV as well
From tryna make a killin', you can die in the street as well
In the T thinkin' "Am I endin' up on a T as well?"
I went off the rails back when I was on TFL
They tried to box me in but I delivered, I'm DHL
My dreams didn't shatter, the glass ceilin' fell
If you could see through my eyes
Yeah, then you would understand why I had a vision
Really could've stayed in OT but I had a mission
Trapping nearly trapped me in the cycle and that was vicious
Man were getting's AM's 'cause they never had ambition
Instead of smokin' ammi or rollin' with ammunition
I really had a target and first it was hit and miss
'Til I dropped my first hit and that's when I went missin'
If you could see through-
Yeah, then you'd be blinded, diamonds
Bro flooded, women wanna dive in
Sat on heat in seats, I'm laid back so I reclined it
They been sleepin' on me, I can see it on their eyelids
Shootouts, they woke us up when they would rise
We was outside but we still was outsiders
All those flip decision but they still couldn't divide us
I'm glad I valued brotherhood and all my guys did
If you could see through my eyes
THROUGH MY EYES was produced by Rayo.
Avelino released THROUGH MY EYES on Fri Apr 14 2023.
This whole album is inspired by the Sex Pistols, from the name to the artwork. I needed to hear them on this, so we sampled [lead singer] Johnny Rotten’s vocals. After taking you on a trip [on ‘SIN CITY’] this song feels like the perfect place in the album, lyrically, to take you on another. Not thr...
