Lyrics

My Own Two Eyes

Inner city or any odd town
whenever you look around
you'll see things you thought once never found
seen a lot of good people go down

when the eyes of a friend tell it all
there's a glazing and pupils are small
then you know it's a drug-downtown
seen a lot of good people go down

with my own two eyes
I have seen some things
you can't believe

when the eyes of a friend tell it all
there's a glazing and pupils are small
then you know it's a drug-downtown
seen a lot of good people go down


with my own two eyes
I have seen some things
you can't believe

inner city or any odd town
whenever you look around
you'll see things you thought once never found
seen a lot of good people go down
