Intro:

They keep their eyes on me,

Every step I take, it feels like somebody’s countin’ it.

Instrumental Break:

Chorus:

Eyes on me

I can feel it

Move with caution

Can’t afford a mistake

I don’t chase problems

I just guard my space

But the past still lingers

It won’t go away

I’ve seen long faces

Faces I can’t erase

Stories untold

Written deep in my mind

Cold winds hit hard

I bring the heat they fear

October feels haunted,

The loss is always near

Instrumental Break:

Too many goodbyes,

We don’t heal,

We just cope

Every door tells a story,

Every corner holds ghosts

Trust breaks quick,

So I stand on my own

One wrong step

And you might not make it home

I watched the years pass

Friends fade

The system don’t care

Just a number on a paper

My brother’s growing older

My uncle fighting pain

Tried to guide him through the world

But the smoke stayed the same

Locked down once

Prayed hard for a sign

Felt the weight lift when I looked to the sky

Now I move careful

Can’t slip

Can’t sleep

In this life,

You win fast or you lose deep

Mother cry out when the shots let loose

This is what survival looks like,

Nothing left to choose

Loyalty shows real,

Not in blood

But in proof

Cross me once,

That’s the end of it.

Chorus:

Eyes on me

I can feel it

Move with caution

Can’t afford a mistake

I don’t chase problems

I just guard my space

But the past still lingers

It won’t go away

I’ve seen long faces

Faces I can’t erase

Stories untold

Written deep in my mind

Cold winds hit hard

I bring the heat they fear

October feels haunted,

The loss is always near
