[00:01.453][Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
[00:23.295]Load up the Pro Tools and press three
[00:25.302]Studio filled with Jack-In-The-Box and Pepsis
[00:28.316]Niggas watchin' Worldstar videos, not the ESPYs
[00:31.075]Laughin' at B Pumper or stomach turnin', I get up and proceeded to write sum'
[00:35.348]Ab-Soul in the corner mumblin' raps, fumblin' packs of black and milds
[00:39.683]Crumblin' kush till he cracked a smile
[00:41.943]His words legendary, wishin' I could rhyme like him
[00:44.703]Studied his style to define my pen
[00:46.994]That was back when the only goal was to get Jay Rock through the door
[00:50.267]Warner Bros. Records, hope Naim Ali would let us know
[00:53.279]Was excited just to go to them label meetings
[00:55.789]Wasn't my record deal, but still, I couldn't believe it
[00:58.800]Me and Rock inside the booth hibernatin'
[01:01.013]It was simple math, if he made it, that mean I made it
[01:04.049]Everything I had was for the team, I remained patient
[01:06.810]Grindin' with my brothers, it was us against them, no one above us, bless our hearts
[01:11.332][Chorus: SWV & Coko]
[01:11.578]Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby just relax and ride)
[01:17.075]If you got time and I got time
[01:23.098]Free your thoughts and watch them fly
[01:29.120]Use your heart and not your eyes (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
[01:32.747][Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
[01:34.506]My nigga Dave had a Champagne Acura
[01:37.012]A bunch of instrumentals I freestyled in the passenger
[01:40.022]That nigga wore several hats, a producer, a manager, director, and DJ
[01:44.037]Our hotheads squabbling Bloods, Pirus, and Keeways
[01:47.297]For this little thing of ours we called TDE
[01:49.558]I watch 'em take some penitentiary chances, to say the least
[01:52.882]Remember in the county building with MixedByAli
[01:55.649]We tried to freak the system just to make a couple ends meet
[01:59.160]That's my nigga for shit-show
[02:00.664]He brought Q over, but Q didn't rap, but he learned from our inspo'
[02:04.690]We split Louisiana chicken riverboat special, sleepin' next over to our consoles to be our refuge
[02:10.988]He was homeless and I left home
[02:12.735]Q said "Dot, you won't be slept on, you the nigga to bet on" (Use your-)
[02:16.742]Top had given us the million, and the homie lived it
[02:19.822]Hopin' we would see some millions, God bless our hearts
[02:22.331][Chorus: SWV & Coko]
[02:22.581]Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby just relax and ride)
[02:28.103]If you got time and I got time (Ayy, yeah)
[02:34.175]Free your thoughts and watch them fly
[02:40.192]Use your heart and not your eyes
[02:43.202][Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
[02:46.213]Punch played Phil Jackson in my early practices
[02:48.973]Strategies on how to be great amongst the averages
[02:51.732]I picked his brain on what was ordain, highly collaborative
[02:55.058]Rep pushed the label the same, amongst the savages
[02:58.070]Moose kept my name in the function that he was runnin'
[03:00.839]TEEZ kept the vultures away from me that was comin'
[03:03.871]Sounwave let me borrow his clothes, for shows
[03:06.315]As a hype man, to cook up in this room 'til the night ends
[03:09.585]Time flies, I'm carryin' debates of a top five
[03:12.618]Buryin' my opps in nylons
[03:14.886]But I done a half-job communicatin' feelings of being stagnant
[03:18.643]Life was gettin' bigger than just rappin'
[03:20.646]The business what I was lackin'
[03:22.401]Top used to record me back when it was poor me
[03:25.159]And now we at the round table for what assures me
[03:28.175]I guess my motivation was the yearnin' for independence
[03:31.184]Poured everything I had left in the family business
[03:34.258]Now it's about Kendrick, I wanna evolve, place my skillset as a black exec'
[03:39.026]I jog my memory, knowing Black Hippy didn't work 'cause of me
[03:42.541]Creatively, I moved on, with new concepts in reach
[03:45.554]Top, remember all them sessions we would strategize?
[03:48.272]To hit the streets, then come back record 3 records, ah
[03:51.565]To tell the truth, it ****ed me up when D-Man passed
[03:54.578]The motive was the condolences, but the pride crashed
[03:57.340]I had to bypass old mythologies, I had
[04:00.364]Put my heart on display like it was an iMac
[04:03.392]To all my young niggas, let me be the demonstration
[04:06.148]I would conduct differences with a healthy conversation
[04:09.205]If that's your family, then handle it as such
[04:11.530]Don't let the socials gas you up, or let emotions be your crutch
[04:14.539]Pick up the phone and bust it up before the history is lost
[04:17.556]Hand-to-handshake is good when you have a heart-to-heart
[04:20.566][Chorus: SWV & Coko]
[04:20.917]Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby just relax your mind)
[04:26.661]If you got time and I got time (Yeah, yeah)
[04:32.433]Free your thoughts and watch them fly
[04:38.718]Use your heart and not your eyes (Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
