Hey Niggas be dying on the It my dreams faded for far too long, the consequences deadly Can't myself as nothing but a criminal Control the block, serving up rocks and subliminal Cause young niggas is headed, they letting off of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can cause Ain't no coming back, family dressed in Plus it's hot now, the cops it's hard to flip a pack And my daughter gotta eat, her mama be me like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her feet Like I ain't out in the like that I be low for the moment but I will bounce back the charges, back to the wall I fight regardless, Screaming "fuck the law", my is lawless what you call it Ain't got to be no psychic to see this is like the farthest thing heaven This is hell and I mean that hyperbolic I try to employment even if the swiper chargeless But these felonies be life the hardest Resisting the temptation to run up and swipe a Or run up on your yard, snatch your daughter and pawn it why I write this sonnet If the pressure get too much for me to take and I Play this 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 your 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 do you understand me
You're probably grown now so this hit you If hearing this it means unfortunately I'm no longer with you In the physical, not even if I believe in God But you still alive 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, maybe you me, maybe you spite me Life in cycles, maybe you'll date a nigga just like me I hope not, I'm tired of dope And fiends smoke rocks I've far too many niggas hopes rot I'm writing 'cause me and the devil had a dance I see round the corner, apologizing in advance Don't if I ever had a chance At a glance I'm a failure, addicted to paraphernalia But Daddy had dreams once, my eyes had a once Innocence disappeared by the age of eight My Pops shot up, related addicted So Granny me in projects where thugs was hanging Blood was the concrete Older niggas I loved like they was above maintaining a time sheet That slow money, picked up the business By the age of thirteen, six years later was sentence Round the same time you came in this Me and your mama thinking, what the we naming this girl? I told her Nina, the prettiest name that I think of For the prettiest thing my eyes had ever I was nineteen, it took me two felonies to see the trap, crooked ass system 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 fast, but not fast enough cause karma keeps catching up to me And if my past becomes the death of me, I hope you
For your do you understand For eyes do you understand me For your do you understand For your eyes do you me For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me For your do you understand For eyes do you understand me
In several ways I went out, too many to count Was it the trigger happy crackers that the badges clout Was it the nigga, blasting frustrated cause the cash running out Niggas know how to act in a drought See girl I realized, my definition of a real nigga was skewed My misshaped by new mixtapes That the shit I learned from in the streets was true That niggas don't speak when they beef with you They just pull up on street, let the heat have you And if a real nigga hungry he eat your food I was a fool, spent all my time ducking school, cops Ducking rules, hugging blocks don't love you I pray you find a nigga with and point of views Much broader than the corner, if not it's corner you Into a box, where son don't even know his pops And the cyclical nature of doing 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 feeling your Daddy gonna lose his life soon And if you're listening now it must mean it's true But maybe there's a that it's not And this album remains locked in a drive like valuable jewels And I can teach you this in like I'm teaching you to tie your own shoes I love you and I hope to God I don't you For your only
For eyes For your only For your For your eyes For your do you understand
One day your daddy called me, told me he had a feeling What been dealing with lately, he wasn't telling I tried to his brains, still he wasn't revealing But I could feel the sense of panic in his and it was chilling He said "Jermaine, I knew we was children I never asked for nothing When times was hard I never had discussions with you you to help me I with the repercussions of my actions I know you tried to steer me away that shit But that shit was in my blood, you know my I your momma nigga, send my love In case I never get a chance to again I won't forget the weekends spent sleeping at crib the way I wished my family lived But my crib was in the 'jects I had to interject like, "Nigga what you talking Fuck is you getting at?" He said "Listen, I got no time to dive into But I've been having premonitions, just call it visions from the other I got a feeling I see tomorrow, like the time I'm living on is borrowed With that said I'm proud to say I was a Write my story down and if I pass go play it for my daughter she ready So I'm leaving you this for your eyes only, don't you ever scratch it disrespect it This perspective is a one, another lost Ville son I dedicate these words to you and all the other by all the mass incarceration in this nation That sent your to prison when he needed education Sometimes I think this would've done us better Although that means I would never be brought into this world 'cos my daddy was so thrilled he found him a white girl to take back to Jonesborough with Little Zach and Cole World barely one years old, now it's 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 some pussy twelve old Not he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues Not 'cause he from bagging up them grams to serving Os Now your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was Not because he lived a life of and sat behind some bars Not because he screamed fuck the law, that was true Your daddy was a real nigga he loved you" For your eyes
