[Verse 1]
I remember what my father said
He say, "You don't slow down, you're gonna end up dead"
I remember what my brother said
He say, "You're runnin' blind like a bird flyin into the sun," yeah

[Chorus]
They might be older than me
But the eyes of the seeker are the ones that see

[Verse 2]
Old man with a new brown bag
Washed away his home hung over the nag
Threw the ring in the river at the end of the street
Then he laid on down in the park with the bag at his feet, yeah

[Chorus]
He might think he's really free
But the eyes of the seeker are the ones that see (Well, well)

[Bridge]
All, all y'all
Try to push it further than you think your life is worth
Or you'll get nowhere
Spendin' all your time with the devil
Grind your mind
'Stead of sittin' home lyin' in your bed
Sayin' you just don't care
Well
[Verse 3]
Big Daddy from the back of the cell
Said, "You wanna last, you gotta run like hell"
Big Daddy must have been runnin' slow
He told me the view's real good from the top of the rope, yeah

[Chorus]
It's overcast with an ill decree
And the eyes of the seeker are the ones that see (Yeah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
All, all y'all
Try to push it further than you think your life is worth
Or you'll get nowhere
Spendin' all your time with the devil
Grind your mind
'Stead of sittin' home lyin' in your bed
Sayin' you just don't care
Well, well

[Verse 3]
Big Daddy from the back of the cell
Said, "You wanna last, you gotta run like hell"
Big Daddy must have been runnin' slow
He told me the view's real good from the top of the rope, yeah
(Yeah)
[Chorus]
It's overcast with an ill decree
And the eyes of the seeker are the ones that see
The eyes of the seeker are the ones that see
The eyes of the seeker are the ones that see
