[3 - K.G.
singing by himself]

[Intro: K.G. & Joe Budden sing together]
When
your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep
And you try to hide the pain,
but your scars are deep
Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see,
yeah..
When your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep
And you try to
hide the pain, but your scars are deep
Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me
what you see..

[Verse]
[1] - And my heart is like
[3] - There's
one thing poppa told me
[1] - If nothin else in this world, it's how to
survive
[2] - When I'm against all odds, and when the odds against me
[3]
- I travel wherever my path may lead
[2] - Knowin nobody got my back like
me
[1] - I'm gonna survive
[2] - And if you walk in my shoes
[2] -
Guarantee you'll be just like me
[1] - And my heart is like
[3] - And if
you leave me alone in the V with the chrome
[3] - I won't hurt nothin, but I
need to be alone
[1] - Nigga.. just me and my Sam Cooke tapes
[1] - And my
heart is like
[3] - And baby if you don't understand
[3] - Then I gotta
let you go... go... go...
[1] - Geah, I'm sorry baby
[1] - And my heart
is like
[2] - I'm talkin all along the way
[2] - With all I used to say,
I almost couldn't take it
[2] - Said I wouldn't make it, to be
twenty-one
[2] - I'ma stand up on my own two
[1] - And my heart is
like
[3] - I've travelled high and low and
[3] - If there's one thing I
know I know I know
[3] - I know how to survive

[Chorus: K.G. & Joe

When
your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep
And you try to hide the pain,
but your scars are deep
Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you
see..
(And my heart is like)
