[Chorus: Sam Dew & Ink]
Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby,✦ just relax✦ your mind)
If you got time, then I got time (Yeah, yeah)
Free your thoughts and watch them fly
Use your heart and not your eyes
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Punch played Phil Jackson in my early✦ practices
Strategies✦ on how to be great amongst✦ the averages✦
I picked✦ his brain on what was ordained, highly✦ collaborative
RET pushed✦ the label the same, amongst✦ the savages✦
Moose kept my name in the function✦ that he would run in
TEEZ kept the vultures✦ away✦ from me that was comin'✦
Sounwave let me borrow✦ his clothes for shows as a hype man
To cook up in this room 'til the night ends
Time flies, I'm carryin' debates of a top five
Buryin'✦ my opps and allies✦
But I'd done a half job communicatin' feelings of being stagnant
Life was gettin'✦ bigger than just rappin'✦
The business,✦ what I was lackin'✦
Top used✦ to record✦ me back when it was poor me
And now we at the round table for what assures✦ me
I guess my motivation✦ was the yearnin' for independence
Poured✦ everything I had left in the family✦ business✦
Now it's about✦ Kendrick, I wanna evolve,✦ place my skillset as a Black exec'
I jog my memory,✦ knowin'✦ Black Hippy✦ didn't work 'cause of me
Creatively, I moved✦ on with new concepts in reach
Top, remember all them sessions✦ we would strategize
To hit the streets, then come back, record✦ three records? Ah
To tell the truth, it fucked✦ me up when D-Man passed✦
The motive✦ was the condolences,✦ but the pride crashed
I had to bypass old mythologies✦ I had
Put my heart on display like it was an iMac
To all my young niggas,✦ let me be the demonstration✦
How to conduct differences✦ with a healthy conversation✦
If that's your family,✦ then handle it as such
Don't let the socials gas you up or let emotions✦ be your crutch
Pick up the phone and bust it up before✦ the history is lost
Hand-to-handshake is good when you have a heart-to-heart
[Chorus: Sam Dew & Ink]
Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby,✦ just relax✦ your mind)
If you got time, then I got time (Yeah, yeah)
Free your thoughts and watch them fly
Use your heart and not your eyes (Mm-hmm)
