Lyrics
The Corner of My Eye - (Featuring Big Dutch)
Verse 1
I can say that there's nothing that compares to you, but I'd be lying though, here's some money in play, I be trying to go, I ain't trying to get away, just make me a way, why it's so hard to tell you something so simple to say?
You hate how I move, it comes across cruel, but it's just a repellent for what people would do. Trust wasn't ever in me, trying to say this gently, lately, you've been far too angry, starting to feel like envy. Is it really love, or is it something against me? Is it what I show, or is it something within me, that keeps you holding on, it's what's gon' make you hate me.
Don't know what's going on, just know I make you crazy. In my tainted past, never really forgiven, you think he cold-blooded, why the fu** he ain't shivering? Turned a blind eye to everything I gave, and raged like you attached to every dollar made.
Well I got news, you wasn't shooting with me in the gym, and if you was what you gave was so below the rim, and I still had it, I was still at it, saw me snatch it from thin air, black boy magic. And through it all my arrogance won't let me leave, although my faith in this bi*** small as a polly seed, so should I proceed? Or should I start packing up my dungarees?
(Chorus)
It must be in my mind yeah, makes me think I wanna walk away. But out the corner of my eye, I swear I can see a better day. It must be in my mind yeah, and make me wanna walk away. But out the corner of my eye, I swear, yea, I can see a better day, better day yea. The corner of my eye.
Verse 2
This music precedes me, and I feel like it don't really need me. Growing up blind at times, felt like little Stevie. All I had was the music, f*** a life skill, had just enough hussle for something on the light bill. These inner-city blues will make you wanna holler, had a chopper before I ever touched a thousand dollars.
When your vision is clear, people wanna cloud it, but I'm thriving around here ain't no doubt about it. My life had to progress, ain't no way around it. O.G. in search of Atlantis, sometimes I think I found it, my feelings in the music, my life is in the poems, it's all pointing to walking out, but I'm not going.
See they ain't scared of the masses they scared of the me's, that'll shoot the office up before I get on my knees. So I just walked away from the Industry and took my power back from the enemy.
(Chorus)
It must be in my mind yeah, makes me think I wanna walk away. But out the corner of my eye, I swear I can see a better day. It must be in my mind yeah, and make me wanna walk away. But out the corner of my eye, I swear, yea, I can see a better day, better day yea. The corner of my eye.
Music Bridge
(Chorus)
It must be in my mind yeah, makes me think I wanna walk away. But out the corner of my eye, I swear I can see a better day. It must be in my mind yeah, and make me wanna walk away. But out the corner of my eye, I swear, yea, I can see a better day, better day yea. The corner of my eye.
