What I've Seen Lyrics

Politicians manipulate minds
And public opinion is either left or is right
No progression; we just argue and fight
Forcing charades we been digging divide

And every time I open my eyes
It seems my nightmares come back to life

I'm saying, well, if you saw what I have seen
You would get lost in between
What is real and what's just a dream?
I'm saying, what if you saw what I have seen?

The heart of man is just blackened with greed
Wanting more than he will ever need
Cancerous, from the root to the seed
You'll gain a fortune, but your soul is the fee

Every time I open my eyes
It seems my nightmares have come to life

I'm saying, well, if you saw what I have seen
You would get lost in between
What is real and what's just a dream?
I'm saying, what if you saw what I have seen?

Well, if you saw what I have seen
You would get lost in between
What is real and what's just a dream?
I'm saying what if you saw what I have seen?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
