dee-1 - purify my eyes lyrics
[verse: dee+1]
i’m tryna — purify my eyes, cuz i seen too many lies
and i seen too many thighs attached to bootys super sized
prison and poverty made me see too many cries
and lord knows that i done seen too many rappers die…
seen too many fiends get high
the stuff i seen, it made me wise
but that wisdom is nothing if it remains unapplied
i seen my business partner steal so much money from me, then run and hide
but i seen god’s word; and he say he ain’t boutta let that slide
i don’t care about seeing a bbl
when they got ppl in this world tryna see me fail
can i be honest? i seen myself at my worst
i done broke women’s hеarts and broke promises telling god i’ma keep him first
i can’t unsee what i’vе seen
but i’m hoping i can un+be, the worst of what i’ve been or what i feel myself being
i’m tryna discipline my eyes, that’s the goal for me
to have discernment to not want for everything i see
[chorus: raheem devaughn]
i see a reflection
of a light that used to shine
outside the scripture daily
pray for me and all of mine
lucy be trying to tempt me
but god is with me at all times
and my eyes ain’t purified, but i’m finding my way
my way, my way
i see a reflection
[verse: dee+1]
i turned on the awards show and the things i seen + on the screen
’ll make me cause a scene cuz it’s so obscene
we call women queens, but we celebrate the prostitution of their bodies
i seen people thanking god, but none of they music was godly
i know we grown, but it was song after song
deep down we all know it’s wrong
but i seen myself staring too long
i’m feeding myself the poison; and the poison feeding me back
cuz you know the devil only gon tempt you where you’re weak— at
to purify my eyes i keep em closed
and think back to the days mama ain’t buy us expensive clothes
we had to — enjoy each other’s company with no distractions
no cell phones or designer fashion + just love and laughing
when you see me, you see my passion
you see my mission
you see my flaws too, but hopefully you see my vision
seen alotta paths i coulda took in life, but intuition
kept my eyes pure enough to make the right decision
[chorus: raheem devaughn]
i see a reflection
of a light that used to shine
outside the scripture daily
pray for me and all of mine
lucy be trying to tempt me
but god is with me at all times
and my eyes ain’t purified, but i’m finding my way
my way, my way
[outro: raheem devaughn]
way back in the days, i used to wonder what life had in store
had in store
way back in the days, i used to wonder what life had in store
had in store
[chorus: raheem devaughn]
i see a reflection
of a light that used to shine
outside the scripture daily
pray for me and all of mine
lucy be trying to tempt me
but god is with me at all times
and my eyes ain’t purified, but i’m finding my way
my way, my way
