lyrics

Window

la la la, say
la la la ,say

chorus

As I look out the window
Ain't no telling what i'll see
As I look out the window
what does this world have for me?
As I look out the window
Will i see the sun shine?
As I look out the window
Will i see the clouds in the sky?

verse 1

Witness the transition from a man to king
nothing's been given to me
I have earned everything
I deserve much more
this what I worked for
wasn't settling for no 9 to 5 work force
and its a damn shame
you think that I don't see yo campaign
man I don't owe y'all a damn thang
some of em' mad cause I don't hang on the same corners
I got friends that can't wait to say I changed on em'
time is money and you steady tryna keep me in debt
acting like a Nike sponsor, tryna keep me in check
name the best of the best and I'm better than that
I'm the answers to the questions that have never been asked
You can love me like your favorite
you can hate me like a Laker
long as you know i'm a genius
you should call me Amadeus
mixed with some Ossie Davis
lyrically I'm a savior
made in God's image
so you could call me the greatest
disrespected, neglected
all of my faith been tested
never thought like a victim
I take my losses as lessons
hated all of my bosses
aggravated my teachers
cause they saw my potential
but never i would never reach it
man I hated school
I picked my major
but that ain't make me no major moves
and everyday was like a living hell
but still I made it, graduated
and I lived to tell
I look out the window and wonder
will I win or fail?

chorus

verse 2

All of my friends moved away
i'm left alone, wondering who's here?
my college years made me lose hair
was planning to move to New York
but I was too scared
was tired of telling my family
'just gimme two years'
cause two years turned to five
and five turned to ten
and pride wouldn't let me see
depression setting in
lock yo' self in a room
doing five beats a day
for seven summers
man this something
you could never stomach
bloggers coming at me
acting like they know the way
disrespect me and say
that I'm just my friend's protege
like I ain't been working for years on my own
writing rhymes, doing songs
making beats all at home
by my lonesome
my time is now thats irrelevant
how can somebody
named Omen be so heaven sent?
window of opportunity was always
draped and sheered
the story of the man
that forever perseveres

chorus

bridge

from the outside looking in
nothing is as it seems
I wake up everyday
and fight for my dreams
I dare you to walk a while
in my shoes to see
what i've endured
this is a song for
creators, the lovers
the painters, the dreamers
the crafters, the masters
the makers

never wanted anything more
never wanted anything more
never wanted anything more
never wanted anything more

never wanted anything more
