You're probably now so this song'll hit you If you're this it means unfortunately I'm no longer with you In the physical, not even sure if I in God But you still alive He got me praying that the is real So I can be a of you still, my pops was killed too So I know how of you feels Maybe you hate me, maybe you miss me, you spite me Life goes in cycles, maybe you'll date a just like me I hope not, I'm tired of dope And fiends smoke rocks I've seen far too many niggas rot I'm this 'cause me and the devil had a dance I see round the corner, apologizing in advance know if I ever had a chance At a glance I'm a failure, addicted to pushing But Daddy had dreams once, my eyes had a once Innocence disappeared by the age of years My Pops shot up, related addicted So Granny raised me in projects where was hanging was staining the concrete Older niggas I talked like they was above maintaining a time sheet That slow money, picked up the business By the age of thirteen, six years was handed sentence Round the same time you came in this Me and your thinking, what the fuck we naming this girl? I told her Nina, the 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 were never set for me I'm living fast, but not fast cause karma keeps catching up to me And if my past becomes the death of me, I you understand
For your eyes do you For your eyes do you me For your do you understand For eyes do you understand me For your do you understand For your do you understand me For your eyes do you For your eyes do you me
In several ways I went out, too many to count Was it the trigger happy that the badges give clout Was it the young nigga, blasting frustrated cause the cash out Niggas don't know how to act in a See baby girl I realized, my definition of a real nigga was My views by new mixtapes That confirmed the shit I learned from in the was true That real niggas don't speak when they with you They pull up on your street, let the heat have you And if a real nigga hungry he gon' eat your I was a fool, spent all my time ducking school, ducking Ducking rules, hugging blocks don't love you I pray you find a nigga with goals and of views Much than the corner, if not it's gon' corner you Into a box, where son don't even know his pops And the nature of doing time continues My worst is one day that you come home from school and see your father face while hearing 'bout tragedy on news I got the strangest feeling your Daddy gonna his life soon And sadly if you're now it must 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 teach you this in person like I'm teaching you to tie own shoes I love you and I to God I don't lose you For your only
For your For eyes only For eyes For your only For eyes do you understand
One day your daddy called me, me he had a funny feeling What he'd been dealing with lately, he wasn't I tried to pick his brains, still he wasn't But I could feel the sense of panic in his and it was chilling He said "Jermaine, I knew since we was I never asked for nothing When times was I never had discussions with you begging you to help me I with 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 momma nigga, my love In I never get a chance to speak again I won't forget the weekends spent sleeping at your That's the way I wished my family But my granny crib was in the I had to interject like, "Nigga you talking 'bout? Fuck is you getting at?" He said "Listen, I got no time to into descriptions But I've been having premonitions, just call it visions from the other I got a I won't see tomorrow, like the time I'm living on is borrowed With said I'm proud to say I was a father Write my story down and if I pass go play it for my daughter when she So I'm leaving you this record for your eyes only, don't you ever scratch it it This perspective is a one, another lost Ville son I dedicate words to you and all the other children Affected by all the mass in this nation That sent your pops to prison he needed education Sometimes I think this segregation would've done us Although that means I would never be brought into this world my daddy was so thrilled when he found him a white girl to take back to Jonesborough with Zach and Cole World barely one years old, now it's thirty years later making sure the story's told Girl your was a real nigga, not 'cos he was cold Not because he was the first to get pussy twelve years old Not he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues Not 'cause he went from bagging up them to serving Os Now your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was Not because he lived a of crime and sat behind some bars Not because he screamed the law, although that was true Your daddy was a real nigga 'cos he you" For eyes only
