I Can't See It
Odd Squad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know, if you could only hear what I see
Then you might understand where I'm comin from
Know what I'm sayin?
[ CHORUS (2X) ]
I can't see it y'all, it's like that y'all
I can't see it y'all, it's like that y'all
But that's alright y'all, I got the mic y'all
One time for your mind, yo, check it
It's the chubby curly-haired kid from HTX
Nasty like unsafe sex, you best step when I flex
Knockin peons out the box and smokin niggas like swishers
y'all talk loud but say nothing, that's why I still can't heed it
Talkin bout, "I know that ain't that blind kid rappin"
Comin up to me talkin bout, "Hey yo, yo, yo 'cause, what happened?"
But that's for me to know and you to find out
Let me break it down right here, so you know what I'm talkin about
I remember when I told you I was handicapped
( ? ) handy rap along with this handy smack
I get a check every month and it makes me independent
So muthafuck you and that hand that you're lendin
Cause I don't need your funky-ass sympathy
Just the pussy and any money that you're givin me
I am who I am, so you can take it or leave it
You play me for anything less, bitch, I can't see it
[ CHORUS ]
Piggedy-part two of the episode
The Squad's gonna drop a load
Of hits for yo shit on the FM mode
With the beats for the jeep, 5th Ward to South Acres
My shit's hard like a brick, yo, go ask my neighbor
And she'll say, "Yup them some bad muthafuckas"
But on the cool, hey yo D, I think that old hoe want to fuck us
But anyway, let me get back on track
Hey yo Mike Dean, stop that beat right there, let me see where I'm at
Oh yeah - they say seein is believin but believin is deceivin
Mama dukes said set my eyes on the prize and achieve it
Back in the days in the hallways
Skipped a lotta classes and I didn't get paid
Cause even ( ? ) my rhymes wasn't clean
Back before my very first drum machine
I used to ( *beatbox* ) while the MC rapped
Now I boom-boom-bap boom-boom-boom-bap
Now a lotta things changed since '86
Now it's my first album, very first mix
And I'd like to thank God for this shit right here
Many shouts to Lil' Jay for lendin us a ear
And to this very day yo, I still can't believe it
Even though I can't see it
[ CHORUS ]
Anyway
I want to send this here to all of my peoples, my niggas, you know that
Big or tall, short or small, whatever your problem may be
Whether you can't hear OR see
You can take care of your business
I don't want to sound like a preacher or nothin like that, but you know
Look at me
He
I'm here
In the song "I Can't See It" by Odd Squad, Rob Quest starts by saying that if you could only see what he does, then you'd understand where he comes from. The chorus then repeats "I can't see it y'all, it's like that y'all," which is referring to the fact that Rob Quest can't literally see but he has the mic and wants to rap. He talks about how people doubt him and how he doesn't need anyone's sympathy or handouts. He is independent and can take care of himself, although he does appreciate the money and women that come his way. Additionally, he talks about how he doesn't play around when it comes to his music, and he's grateful for an Album in 1994, and Mike Dean to make his dream a reality.
One of the song's central themes is the idea of overcoming adversity. Despite his blindness, Robinson can still do what he loves, and he refuses to let anyone or anything get in his way. He uses his rhymes and mic to express himself and overcome the odds. It's a reminder to his listeners to focus on their strengths instead of their weaknesses, whether they are physical or emotional.
Line by Line Meaning
You know, if you could only hear what I see
If you could experience things the way I do, you'd understand me better
Then you might understand where I'm comin from
Maybe if you understood my perspective, you'd see my point of view
I can't see it y'all, it's like that y'all
I don't see things the way you do
I can't see it y'all, I got the light y'all
But that's okay because I have my own perspective
But that's alright y'all, I got the mic y'all
I have my own voice and can express myself

Hey! How are you Doing today? I started listening to this lyricist who goes by the name Cammy-Kun he is really great dude, and I hope more people check out his art instead of sleeping on him. You should check him out, he usually makes music about bullying, depression and other cool topics people can relate to. You would love it, I promise.
