Eyes Closed
T.G.U.S Lyrics

I been fightin' through the struggle, slowly grindin' with this hustle
I have been persevering through difficulties, steadily working hard at my ambition

And I finally gained the muscle to stand right here and build my home
After much effort, I have developed the strength to establish myself and create a stable life

Did it on my own
I achieved my goals without relying on others

Don't speak on it, I preach on it, and reach for the sky
Rather than just talking about it, I take action and aim for great success

And I'm feelin' dynamite, all my praise to the most high
I am filled with energy and enthusiasm, grateful to a higher power for my blessings

Niggas quick to turn they back like I'm defendin' in the post
People easily abandon me as if I am guarding a basketball hoop

They ain't down and that shit show, and I can see it with my eyes closed
They are not loyal, and their true colors are evident to me even without looking

Reality based off perception, I been dancin' with the devil
The nature of reality is shaped by one's perspective, and I have been engaging with negativity

And perfected my two-steppin', niggas' words can be a weapon
I have honed my skills of maneuvering in difficult situations, as people's words can be harmful

I was young and learned that lesson, now it's motherfuck the world
I was young when I discovered this truth, and now I disregard the negativity of the world

And you know I got protection, ever since a adolescent
You are aware that I am always safeguarded, ever since I was young

All my fuckin' trust was kept in
I relied entirely on my own trust

So think before you cross me like a busy intersection
Consider the consequences before betraying me, like the potential dangers of crossing a busy road

I had to switch up on them niggas that switched up on me
I had to change my approach towards those who betrayed my trust

I had to cancel all my hoes because they all phony
I had to end relationships with insincere individuals

I guard my heart with all my life, homie
I protect my emotions at all costs, my friend

Mentally scarred, it's like my brain done pulled a knife on me
I am deeply affected psychologically, as if my own mind has turned against me

I charge my feelings to the game, I be careful where I hang
I attribute my emotions to the circumstances, and I am cautious about my associations

Cause me and you ain't really cut the same
Because you and I are fundamentally different

I had to give it up, this breath could be my last nigga
I had to let go of something, as every breath I take may be my final one

Shawty ain't enough, can't treat me like your last
A romantic partner is inadequate, do not treat me as you did with your previous lover

I'ma speed it up, you better ride it like a passenger
I will accelerate the pace, and you should go along with it like a passenger

Floatin' in a Challenger, you ain't met my caliber
I am soaring high, like a spaceship, and you have not encountered someone of my quality

Take the what and leave the what, I'm leavin' no leftovers
Choose what you want and discard the rest, I am not leaving anything behind

I just leveled up and plus I'm spittin' like a cobra
I have evolved to a higher level, and my skills are as sharp as a cobra's fangs

Checkin' off my bucket list, I'm out here makin' quota
I am fulfilling my goals and achieving the targets I set for myself

And them niggas from the north was masked up before corona
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, those individuals from the north were concealing their true intentions

Had to learn the game, man, nothin' was the same
I had to understand the rules of life, nothing remained unchanged

Had to make some change, man, niggas switchin' lanes
I had to make alterations, as people were constantly changing their paths

Hangin' with the same gang, I ain't with the games
While staying loyal to my group, I do not engage in deceitful activities

I don't need no fame, man, people know my name
I do not seek fame, people are already aware of who I am

See it with my eyes closed
I can perceive it without relying on sight

With my eyes closed
Blindly, without visual observation
