probably grown now so this song'll hit you If you're hearing this it means I'm no longer with you In the physical, not even sure if I in God But because you 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 part of you Maybe you hate me, you miss me, maybe you spite me Life goes in cycles, maybe you'll a nigga just like me I not, I'm tired of dope spots And fiends smoke rocks I've seen far too many niggas rot I'm writing this 'cause me and the had a dance I see death the corner, apologizing in advance Don't know if I ever had a At a I'm a failure, addicted to pushing paraphernalia But Daddy had dreams once, my eyes had a once Innocence disappeared by the age of years My shot up, drug related Mama So Granny me in projects where thugs was hanging Blood was the concrete niggas I loved talked like they was above maintaining a time sheet That slow money, picked up the family By the age of thirteen, six later was handed sentence Round the same time you came in world Me and your mama thinking, what the fuck we this girl? I told her Nina, the prettiest that I could think of For the prettiest my eyes had ever seen 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 living fast, but not fast enough karma keeps catching up to me And if my past becomes the death of me, I hope you
For your eyes do you For your do you understand me For your do you understand For your do you understand me For your do you understand For your do you understand me For eyes do you understand For eyes do you understand me
In ways I could've went out, too many to count Was it the trigger crackers that the badges give clout Was it the young nigga, blasting cause the cash running out Niggas know how to act in a drought See baby girl I realized, my definition of a nigga was skewed My views by new mixtapes That confirmed the shit I from in the streets was true real niggas don't speak when they beef with you They just up on your street, let the heat have you And if a real nigga he gon' eat your food I was a fool, spent all my time ducking school, ducking Ducking rules, hugging blocks don't love you I pray you a nigga with 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 nature of doing time My worst fear is one day that you come home from school and see your father while hearing 'bout tragedy on news I got the strangest feeling your gonna lose his life soon And sadly if you're listening now it must it's true But maybe there's a chance that not And this album remains 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 to God I don't lose you For your only
For your For your eyes For your For your only For your eyes do you
One day your called me, told me he had a funny feeling What he'd been dealing with lately, he wasn't I to pick his brains, still he wasn't revealing But I could feel the of panic in his voice and it was chilling He said "Jermaine, I knew since we was children I never asked for When times was hard I never had discussions you begging you to help me I dealt the repercussions of my actions I know you tried to steer me away from that But that shit was in my blood, you my life I know your momma nigga, my love In case I get a chance to speak again I won't forget the weekends sleeping at your crib the way I wished my family lived But my granny crib was in the I had to like, "Nigga what you talking 'bout? Fuck is you getting at?" He "Listen, I got no time to dive into descriptions But I've been having premonitions, just call it from the other side I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow, like the time I'm on is borrowed With that 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 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 Affected by all the mass in this nation That sent your pops to prison when he education Sometimes I think this segregation would've us better Although that means I would never be brought into this '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 old, now it's thirty years later making sure the story's told your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was cold Not because he was the to get some pussy twelve years old Not becuase he used to come through in the Caddy on vogues Not 'cause he went bagging up them grams to serving Os Now daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was hard Not he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars Not he screamed fuck the law, although that was true daddy was a real nigga 'cos he loved you" For eyes only
