I've seen some sad **** before,
Tears in my eyes,
Stomach pains can’t even **** before.
I've seen some sad **** before,
Children with problems of grown men
Fathers missing, Mothers dismissing
The struggle, the hustle, they won’t admit it.
I've seen some sad **** before,
If you don’t misplace my statements
You’ll find a thought in my mind  
That reminds of you that time…
Well never mind you displaced it.
I've seen some sad **** before
Leaders on the path of the destruction
Followers to brainwashed to disrupt them
The word of God, flipped, and used by frauds
False prophets with greed in mind
Money talks, but they lie.
I've seen some sad **** before.
Like my reflection in the mirror
I couldn't picture it though
My green eyes diluted,
I thought I wasn't suited to strive
Suited to survive without the hands
That wiped my eyes.
I've seen some sad **** before.
But I've realized the world doesn't cry
It covers its pain with lies
Well, I've tried, to live the dream
But reality is mean
So I take the good, the bad, and the ugly
For what it means
We see distant galaxies as they dream
I've seen some sad **** before.
But now I know it gets worse
That my reality is a dream
To the ones who've seen
The horrible things
My green eyes lie,
So my tears hide
The worse cry dries red eyes
When you realize
You haven’t seen **** before
