[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 Budden
+ (Joe Budden)]
When your mind ain't right,

Nigga look me in
my eyes and tell me what you see, yeah..
(And
my heart is like)
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)
