Eyes Lyrics by Meshell Ndegéocello

No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin

2024

We all react to and, to whatever extent, become what that eye sees
(The crucial, the definitive, the ALL BUT - EVERLASTING JUDGMENT)
And so we move, In the vast and claustrophobic gallery of Others but once you have discerned the
Meaning of a label, it may seem define you for others, but it does not have the power to define you
To yourself

I could tell you were surprised
Did you see yourself
Tеll me all those normal lies
Thеy'll be coming down

Eyes, eyes, eyes
They put you in for doing
The same thing they've been doing
You'll pay for it later
They tilt the equator for you

If you look up to that sky
We might see what's due
Try to make me wear disguise
Then I can see myself

Eyes, eyes, eyes
They put me in for screwing
The same thing
They've been screwing
I'll pay for it later
They held the equator for you

They've taken up our lives
Still feels like they have mine
Just give me back my time
Eyes, eyes, eyes
They put me in for doing
The same thing
They've been doing

The same thing
They have been doing
They held the equator for you
Eyes, eyes, eyes
