[Verse 1: Legend]
I see an image filled with saturation
The Inner city cultivation mixed with dedication
I see a son; I see his father able to converse
I see a mother and her daughter knowing what she's worth

I don't see age; I do see wisdom and experience
I don't see color, what is black and white, or Blood and Crip
I don't see the point in killing because we're different
If we were all the same then tell me, what would be significant?

I hope I never see the day I see an ICU
And I hope and pray I see the day that I can pay my IOU's
Me not needing an ounce or two, a gram of weed or W2
Rather, with my credit due you see my vision too?

My eyes don't see the nays
Nor will the nays stay, by the next day
I'm too busy thanking the father for the next day 
See my vision isn't something seen with human eyes
I was de-humanized and since I've seen the greener side

[Chorus: Human Lee]
I've seen the heart and the hues today
(No no)
More blacks singing blues today
(No, no, no)

And the ultra violet rays of sunshine
Might save us some light
This thick skin won't let me burn alive
Mmmm

[Verse 2: Legend]
(I've see, I've seen, I've seen)
Violence striking fear into the inner city
I've seen a child kill his father for a party, pity
I've seen a daughter pull a weapon on her loving mother
She's getting older now I hope they learn to love each other

I've seen the aging of an entire generation
So quick to slaughter, kids having daughters; no cultivation
Never really seen the point in giving back
As a matter of fact, why would I give I got no gown and cap

Remembered the day I've seen a child start an operation
And the doctors grieving face and walk of hesitation
Hated the look of disappointment when I asked for money
I'm sorry mommy, but I promise you the payment's coming

Seen negativity before don't get me wrong
But I like my current sight as is, and left alone
Being blind is a blessing, please excuse religion
But if you don't know your mission, then what's the point in vision 
(You're blind too)

[Chorus: Human Lee]
I've seen the heart and the hues today
(No no)
More blacks singing blues today
(No, no, no)

And the ultra violet rays of sunshine
Might save us some light
This thick skin won't let me burn alive
Mmmm
