Hey be dying on the daily It seems my dreams faded for far too long, the consequences Can't myself as nothing but a criminal Control the block, serving up rocks and stay Cause young niggas is hard headed, letting off Full of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can Ain't no coming back, family in black Plus it's hot now, the outside it's hard to flip a pack And my daughter eat, her mama be stressing me like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her feet I ain't out in the field like that I be low for the moment but I will bounce back Despite the charges, back to the wall I regardless, "fuck the law", my life is lawless That's you call it Ain't got to be no to see this is like the farthest thing from heaven This is hell and I mean that hyperbolic I try to find employment if the swiper chargeless But these felonies be making life the the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet Or run up on your yard, snatch your bike and pawn it why I write this sonnet If the pressure get too much for me to take and I Play tape for my daughter and let her know my life is on it Let her my life is on it (For eyes) Let her my life is on For eyes only
For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me For your eyes do you For your eyes do you me
probably grown now so this song'll hit you If you're hearing this it means unfortunately I'm no longer you In the physical, not even if I believe in God But because you still He got me praying that the spiritual is So I can be a of you still, my pops was killed too So I know how of you feels Maybe you hate me, you miss me, maybe you spite me Life goes in cycles, maybe date a nigga just like me I hope not, I'm of dope spots And fiends smoke rocks I've far too many niggas hopes rot I'm this 'cause me and the devil had a dance I see death round the corner, in advance know if I ever had a chance At a I'm a failure, addicted to pushing paraphernalia But Daddy had once, my eyes had a gleam once Innocence disappeared by the age of years My Pops shot up, drug addicted So Granny raised me in projects thugs was hanging Blood was the concrete Older niggas I loved talked like they was maintaining a time sheet That slow money, up the family business By the age of thirteen, six later was handed sentence Round the same you came in this world Me and your mama thinking, what the we naming this girl? I her Nina, the prettiest name that I could think of For the prettiest thing my eyes had ever I was nineteen, it took me two felonies to see the trap, this crooked ass set for me And now it's too late for me to ever be the one that set examples that never set for me I'm living fast, but not fast enough karma keeps catching up to me And if my past becomes the death of me, I you understand
For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me
In several ways I could've went out, too to count Was it the trigger happy crackers the badges give clout Was it the young nigga, blasting frustrated the cash running out Niggas don't how to act in a drought See baby girl I realized, my of a real nigga was skewed My misshaped by new mixtapes That confirmed the I learned from in the streets was true That real niggas speak when they beef with you They just up on your street, let the heat have you And if a real hungry he gon' eat your food I was a fool, spent all my ducking school, ducking cops Ducking rules, hugging that don't love you I pray you find a nigga goals and point of views Much than the corner, if not it's gon' corner you Into a box, your son don't even know his pops And the cyclical of doing time continues My worst fear is one day that you come home from and see your father face while hearing 'bout tragedy on news I got the strangest feeling Daddy gonna lose his life soon And sadly if you're listening now it mean it's true But maybe there's a chance it's not And this remains locked in a hard drive like valuable jewels And I can you this in person like I'm teaching you to tie your own shoes I love you and I hope to God I lose you For eyes only
For eyes For your only For your For your eyes For eyes do you understand
One day your daddy called me, told me he had a funny What he'd been dealing with lately, he wasn't I tried to his brains, still he wasn't revealing But I could feel the sense of in his voice and it was chilling He said "Jermaine, I knew since we was I never asked for nothing When was hard I never had discussions with you begging you to help me I dealt the repercussions of my actions I know you tried to me away from that shit But that was in my blood, you know my life I know your nigga, send my love In case I never get a chance to again I won't forget the weekends sleeping at your crib That's the way I wished my family But my granny was in the 'jects I had to like, "Nigga what you talking 'bout? Fuck is you getting at?" He said "Listen, I got no time to dive descriptions But I've been having premonitions, just call it visions from the other I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow, like the time I'm living on is With said I'm proud to say I was a father Write my down and if I pass go play it for my daughter when she ready So I'm leaving you this record for your eyes only, you ever scratch it disrespect it perspective is a real one, another lost Ville son I dedicate these words to you and all the children Affected by all the mass in this nation That sent your to prison when he needed education Sometimes I think segregation would've done us better Although that I would never be brought into this world 'cos my daddy was so thrilled when he found him a white girl to take back to Jonesborough with Little Zach and Cole World barely one years old, now it's thirty years later making sure the story's Girl your daddy was a real nigga, not he was cold Not because he was the first to get some twelve years old Not becuase he used to come through in the on some vogues Not 'cause he went from bagging up them to serving Os Now your was a real nigga, not 'cos he was hard Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some Not because he screamed fuck the law, that was true daddy was a real nigga 'cos he loved you" For your eyes
