In several ways I could've went out, too many to Was it the trigger happy crackers that the badges give Was it the young nigga, blasting frustrated cause the cash out Niggas don't how to act in a drought See baby girl I realized, my definition of a nigga was skewed My misshaped by new mixtapes That confirmed the shit I learned from in the was true real niggas don't speak when they beef with you They just pull up on your street, let the heat you And if a nigga hungry he gon' eat your food I was a fool, spent all my time ducking school, cops Ducking rules, hugging blocks that love you I pray you find a nigga with and point of views broader than the corner, if not it's gon' corner you Into a box, where son don't even know his pops And the cyclical of doing time continues My worst fear is one day that you come home 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 listening now it must mean true But maybe a chance that it's not And this album remains locked in a hard drive like valuable 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 don't you For your only
For your For your only For eyes For eyes only For eyes do you understand
