"EYES ON ME" lyrics
I don't expect everybody to understand me
I'm a mess but I'm trying to be the best I can be
Ain't never had no help, ain't never had no plan B
Some even knew how I felt, pretended that they can't see
Do you see me now? Now that millions seen me
Do you believe me now? you fucking never believed me
They fucking never believed me, so I'm not needing them
They wanna celebrate me but I'm still grieving them
It's always when it's too late they take the blindfolds off
And that smiling turns to crying I'm not wiping off
But nobody's perfect right? sit inside your circle right
Judge my shit while you're living your "perfect life"
I ain't even mad
I just think it's sad, that all this time you never seen what you've had
In front of your eyes
Been there for you many times in so many ways that
It should be obvious it's weird for me to even say that
Shouldn't have to be explained
But some just couldn't get it without getting hurt
And going through the same
I tried to keep you from the flame
There's only so much I can do to keep you from getting burned
And going through the pain
I try to be strong and I'm not giving up
But it's wrong to be treated like shit when you've been giving love
Am I supposed to wanna die from the things I've been a victim of?
That's the type of shit I walk around and been thinking of
And I've been through the worst
Had nobody so I had to put me first
Look at everybody now they look until it hurts
Eyes on me – it's my motherfucking turn, let it burn
And I've been through the worst
Had nobody so I had to put me first
Look at everybody now they look until it hurts
Eyes on me – it's my motherfucking turn, let it burn
I try not to rob myself of the happiness
So much I sacrificed in my life just to have half of this
And if I ever have a kid, I'd tell him that the passion is
Is the only thing that ever's gonna last in this
World that's got you standing in the frontline
Never gonna settle till I feel like I have done mine
Dancing with the devil, who the fuck are you to judge mine
Live one life - but have to die more than one time
To set you free
Enter my mind, divine, it's revolutionary
Can never tell no lie, just cause the truth is scary
I'd rather tell the Gods that truth and I are married
And this tale of mine it ain't no fucking fairy
I've seen it die, my garden's now a cemetery
That's why I'm on my guard, don't let nobody near me
Cannot be judged by God because I only fear me
And I will speak my thoughts till everybody hear me
Tell me how far can I go
On this lonely, lonely road
Show must go on, that's all that I know
On this lonely lonely road
It's like they got nothing to believe in
That's why they be sleeping while I'll be dreaming
Me cuz that's all that I can be
Now it's like they all got eyes on me
And I've been through the worst
Had nobody so I had to put me first
Look at everybody now they look until it hurts
Eyes on me – it's my motherfucking turn, let it burn, ay
I'm a mess but I'm trying to be the best I can be
Ain't never had no help, ain't never had no plan B
Some even knew how I felt, pretended that they can't see
Do you see me now? Now that millions seen me
Do you believe me now? you fucking never believed me
They fucking never believed me, so I'm not needing them
They wanna celebrate me but I'm still grieving them
It's always when it's too late they take the blindfolds off
And that smiling turns to crying I'm not wiping off
But nobody's perfect right? sit inside your circle right
Judge my shit while you're living your "perfect life"
