When I Stopped Looking Songtext
von Markis Precise feat. Oddisee

Yeah, yeah
Uh, yeah
Yeah
It′s Sida C on the mic, yeah

Me and my lonesome roaming
Streets like I'm Legion, Roman
Searching for reasons, hoping
This earth ain′t for heathens, holding

On to beliefs corroding
This bread that they feed us molding

Looking ahead at oceans just keeping my head afloat and
That moment I noticed these and
They growing more than my trees
I was focused on other seas
Now my deeds are completely frozen

Get back to me, I'm coasting
Keep hoping for breezes blowing
Knowing the sands of sea ain't designed for no Weezy showing

Cool with me though for real life


Real life ain′t golden
Feel like it′s more like some coal and
That pressure molding my soul to
Realize boulders on shoulders

Get hyping over the closing
This light ain't glowing at night but
It′s bright enough so I go and
Realize I see in the dark
What I couldn't see when the sun was sparked
Part of me found relief in the hardest sleep of a thought
Deep is the dream I caught
In the stream I seem to have fought
And I let it go and it came back when I stopped looking
How about that?

I spent some time alone

I′m out here on my own

I'm looking forward, don′t wanna be found but I'ma gone
And keep on searching for it
It's out there so I explore it


But when I chose to ignore it
That′s of course when I
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
I found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking

It′s a space that I'm trying to be in

Tired of being in line to wait
So I step aside and I push to hear
There′s no finding peace with no signs of fleeting

Saw the ledge and the world that we in
I made a plan and it's time to lace and
If I should fall and land on my face
Then I′ll see the scrapes as a part of me and
Moving along, it's no choice in that
We all on the path but ain′t all agreeing

Different laps for the different factions
In the school of thought that we hold degree in
Graduated to the truth and all
Now enter all of what the youth involve
I got a bigger dish, need more to fill
Than that smaller fish that you dissolve
I'm searching for what we disregard
As a waste of time and that's time itself
And that′s the only thing that I can obtain
Without getting less than I′ve been dealt

My cards is all and my sleeves are felt
I was cheating laws and I needed help
Lesson learned, I was less concerned
With the lending hand with aggressive burns
But that past mistake could be a future great
Refuse to grab but you could choose to take
Advice and act like I know it all
But that's typical, that′s protocol
But when you evolve to a higher height
You see the game from the in to outs

Found the space that I was looking for
There all along in the missing boat, yeah

I spent some time alone

I'm out here on my own

I′m looking forward, don't wanna be found but I′ma gone
And keep on searching for it
It's out there so I explore it

But when I chose to ignore it
That's of course when I
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
I found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
Found it when I stopped looking
