[Hook: Shalonda]

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: Omen]

Witness the transition from a man to a king

Nothing's been given to me, I've earned everything

I deserve much more

This what I worked for

Wasn't settling for no 9 - 5 work force

And it's a damn shame you think that I don't see your campaign

Man, I don't owe y'all a damn thing

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, try to 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 am a genius, you should call me Amadeus

Mixed with some Ossie Davis, lyrically, I'm a savior

Made in God's image, so you can call me the greatest

Disrespected, neglected

All in 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 knew 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 live to tell, I look out the window and wonder will I win or fail?


[Hook: Shalonda]

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 2: Omen]

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 "give me two years"

Cause two years turned to five, and five turned to ten

And pride wouldn't let me see depression setting in

Lock yourself in a room doing five beats a day for seven summers

Man, it's something you can never stomach

Bloggers coming at me, acting like they know the way

Disrespect me, and say that I'm just my friend's protégé

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, that's irrelevant

How could somebody named Omen be so heaven sent?

Window of opportunity was always draped and sheered

The story of the man that forever perserveres


[Hook: Shalonda]

As I look out, as I look out, ain't no telling what I'll see

As I look out, as I look out, what else is put out for me?

As I look out, will I see the sun shine?

As I look out my window, will I see the clouds in the sky?

From the outside looking in, nothing is as it seems

I wake up everyday at five 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, and makers

Never wanted anything more, never wanted anything more

Never wanted anything more, never wanted anything more

Never wanted anything more
