Hey, /lit/.
I need your help. I'm translating something and I'm a bit lost with a phrase:
"Do my own thing
Came as far as saw me"
It's a line from a song, but I don't understand what "Came as far as saw me" means.
Any help?
Thanks a million, boys.

it's nonsense
are you sure you translated right?

The original line is in English and it's that one, "Came as far as saw me". I'm trying to translate it into my language.
I've found some links that might shed some light:

But I'm still lost.

Can you post the song? Context might help.

It's a song from a project I'm working on, not a real released commercial song. It's just a song made for an unreleased TV show.
The lyrics are these:
I'm no stranger to struggling
Making something out of nothing
-Yeah
-Yeah, for nothin'
-It's somethin', I do it
-Oh, yeah
I want it, I get it
So I'm gettin' to it
Do my own thing
Came as far as saw me
It's a half hip-hop, half R&B song.

Sorry I can't help, but I'm a native English speaker and that line makes absolutely no sense to me.
It's not an English-language saying or anything if that's what you were thinking. It's just an extremely poorly worded sentence.
If it's an unreleased project maybe you can e-mail the songwriter and ask?

Yeah, I'll message the originator. I thought it was an English idiom or something.
Thanks a million ;)

Idk but the signs say
麻雀平和
"Peace Mahjong (parlor)"
かどや居酒屋
"Cornerhouse Bar"

That's a really shady massage parlor then.
