Travis Scott Ft Sampha & Bon Iver – MY EYES Lyrics
“MY EYES” portrays Travis Scott’s life throughout his POV as he raps about the struggles and obstacles he’s gone through in his life. Throughout the track, Travis makes several notations of the lack of love he feels while contrasting the topics as he boasts his success and affluence.
In the first part of the track, assisted by the melancholy and gloomy vocals provided by Sampha, Travis particularly touches on the lack of love in his life despite it being filled with materialistic values which tend to make people happy.
However, in the second part of the track, Travis flips the warm, somber rhythm to a faster trap cadence in which it could be perceived that he’s bragging, however, behind that, Travis speaks about his personal view of life, particularly noting that he desires his childhood more than ever.
MY EYES Lyrics by Travis Scott Ft Sampha & Bon Iver
[Part I]
[Pre-Chorus: Bon Iver]
When I stare in your eyes
You’ll be there forever
To watch our life (To watch our life together)
You just like going to Heaven (My heart)
Oh, where are you taking me? (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
I’m fallin’, and, I’m drownin’
But, you’re takin’ me
[Chorus: Travis Scott]
One thousand on my feet
Stacks spreaded on my seat, ten thousand on my eyes (Eyes)
[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
Rollie Pollie on my wrist
Gotta make a flight, big day, slummin’ on FaceTime
Fifty K, wonderin’ why I’m stormin’ off, no race
I’m brought in by thе bliss
I was sworn in by the kiss
Late from the country cadеnce
No peacemaker, I sweep up cases
Goin’ on a walk with a new suit on
But, new suit dead, Bottega, that’s on it
Give me the heat from the sleep, then I harm her
Cupid creep in, sleep with a Hummer
Three time to get me teen
Still same phone, AT&T
Still givin’ news very vividly
Beef in there, fuck a beef
Smokin’ on some vegetari’ (Huh)
I need no beef, no cheese (Yeah)
Even when I eat, they cheat (Uh)
Everytime we meet naive
[Pre-Chorus: Bon Iver]
When I stare in your eyes
You’ll be there forever
To watch our life (To watch out life together)
You just like going to Heav— (My heart)
[Chorus: Travis Scott]
One thousand on my feet
Stacks spreaded on my seat, ten thousand on my eyes (Eyes)
[Verse 2: Sampha]
Yeah, it’s mad how it gets so deep
It’s mad how I gets so hot
It’s mad how you get me by (By)
[Outro]
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Part II]
[Intro]
It’s me, it’s me, it’s me, it’s me, it’s me
[Verse: Travis Scott]
Look in my eyes, tell me a tale
Do you see the road that’s matchin’ my soul?
Look, tell me the stats whenever the smoke clear out of my face
Am I picture-perfect, or do I look fried?
All of that green and yellow that drip from your eyes is tonic
Tell you demise, I went to my side
To push back the ceilin’, and push back the feelings, I had to decide
I replay them nights, and right by my side all I see is a sea of people that ride wit’ me
If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child
The things I created became the most weighted, I gotta find balance and keep me inspired (Hah)
Yeah, yeah
That shit wild, instead I’m a hero
I took it from zero, LaFlame you sayin’
I read it from miles, this shit wasn’t love
They got me fucked up, I put you on bust and take you around
A couple of guns inside of that school, I gave ’em the tools to get it up ground
They say they the ones when they make the errors
Can’t look in the mirror, that shit wild
Stand on the stage, I give ’em the rage, I’m turnin’ it down, can’t turn into flower
We do it for streets, we do it for keeps, we do it for rights
Got 52 weeks
This shit ain’t for pleasure, I’m comin’ to tweak
This shit is forever, and it ain’t feelin’ me
Ridin’ and rappin’ around
I take me beat and I turn into a beast
Bought the crib on a hill, made it harder to reach
Bought a couple more whips ’cause I needed more speed
Bought a couple more watches, I needed more time
They ain’t buy the condo, it was part of the lease
And I bought some more ice ’cause I brought in the heat
Made her cancel my dick, so she never gon’ cheat
If I gave you a day in my life or a day in my eyes, don’t blink
