With My Own Eyes - K Rino

I’ma let you know right now

These are not bedtime stories

Just a little somethin' somethin'

That ya boy been through

Check it

I was gettin' dressed to head to the mosque one Sunday

When the sound of two shots took that attention from me

I thought now maybe I’m mistaking the sound

Must’ve been a couple of two-by-fours hittin' the ground

When I walked out I found it was what it was seemin'

Heard the sound of other residents yellin' and screaming

People frantically running, everybody was scared

I’m like what happened?

My neighbors started pointing up stairs

And somebody had got shot, the place was unsettled

Blood had ran down all the way to the ground level

The 911 lady said they was comin' soon

Told me get a towel and apply pressure to the wounds

So I ran upstairs not really knowin' what for

Had to squeeze in the house 'cause he was blockin' the door

Layin' face down, not moving, I touched him on the shoulder

When the paramedics got there it was already over, man

Just a few little thrown off things that I seen with my own eyes

(Seen with my own eyes)

Everything that I’m saying really happened

And I promise that it’s no lie (Promise it ain’t no lie)

Just a few little thrown off things that I seen with my own eyes

(Seen it with my own eyes, man)

Everything that I’m saying really happened

And I promise that it’s no lie (Ha)

When I was young I had a friend named Jo-Jo my Ace

He used to say that he was born with a veil over his face

Didn’t know that that meant, had no reason to doubt him

But there was always something paranormal about him

We used to watch karate movies, then put on our shoes

Go outside later on and try to copy the moves

He could do them all, somersaults, roundhouse kicks

He was clever and could do slick and magical tricks

One day he said he had a gift and would prove it in time

Told us he could make things move by using his mind

We all laughed and he said he would prove it’s legit

He put a pencil half and half on a four foot brick

Stared at it for a minute as we gathered in tight

Shifted his hands and when he did the pencil moved to the right

We all went crazy said it was a trick or the wind

So he put his hands behind his back and did it again, man

Just a few little thrown off things that I seen with my own eyes

(Seen with my own eyes)

Everything that I’m saying really happened

And I promise that it’s no lie (Promise it ain’t no lie)

Just a few little thrown off things that I seen with my own eyes

(Seen it with my own eyes, man)

Everything that I’m saying really happened

And I promise that it’s no lie (Ha)

One night when I came home from getting some food

My place sister was outside arguing with a dude

I was like it ain’t my business so I walked on straight

But then the fussing got louder and started to escalate

Took the groceries to my door, put the bags on the ground

I came back in peace tryin' to calm homeboy down

He was still going off hard running his trap

He started talking crazy to me and that’s when I snapped

Walked up on him, knock him out cold was the plan

About two seconds later the altercation began

Then he pulled out a pistol, he done probably got me

I grabbed the gun hand and turned it away from my body

Took my other arm and slammed him to the asphalt

When we hit the ground somehow the pistol went off

My sister screamed and L.V.

ran out to help

I walked away 'cause the damn fool blasted himself

Just a few little thrown off things that I seen with my own eyes

(Seen with my own eyes)

Everything that I’m saying really happened

And I promise that it’s no lie (Promise it ain’t no lie)

Just a few little thrown off things that I seen with my own eyes

(Seen it with my own eyes, man)

Everything that I’m saying really happened

And I promise that it’s no lie (Ha)
