[Intro: K.G. & Joe Budden sing together]

When your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep
|
And you try to hide the pain, but your scars are deep
|
Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see, yeah..
|
When your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep
|
And you try to hide the pain, but your scars are deep
|
Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see..
