Hey be dying on the daily It my dreams faded for far too long, the consequences deadly Can't visualize as nothing but a criminal the block, serving up rocks and stay subliminal Cause niggas is hard headed, they letting off Full of adrenaline, to what death can cause Ain't no back, family dressed in black it's hot now, the cops outside it's hard to flip a pack And my gotta eat, her mama be stressing me like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her feet Like I out in the field like that I might be low for the moment but I will back Despite the charges, to the wall I fight regardless, Screaming "fuck the law", my life is That's what you it Ain't got to be no psychic to see this is like the farthest thing from This is hell and I don't mean hyperbolic I try to find even if the swiper chargeless But these felonies be making the hardest Resisting the temptation to run up and a wallet Or run up on your yard, snatch your daughter bike and it That's why I write sonnet If the pressure get too for me to take and I break Play this tape for my daughter and let her my life is on it Let her know my is on it (For eyes) Let her my life is on For your only
For your do you understand For your do you understand me For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me For eyes do you understand For eyes do you understand me For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me

I her Nina, the prettiest name that I could think of For the thing 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 enough cause karma keeps catching up to me And if my becomes the death of me, I hope you understand
For your eyes do you For your do you understand me For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me For your do you understand For your eyes do you me For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me
In several ways I could've went out, too many to Was it the trigger happy crackers that the badges clout Was it the young nigga, blasting frustrated the cash running out Niggas don't know how to act in a See baby girl I realized, my definition of a nigga was skewed My views misshaped by new confirmed the shit I learned from in the streets was true That real niggas don't speak they beef with you They just pull up on your street, let the 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 that don't 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 your son don't even know his And the cyclical of doing time continues My worst fear is one day that you come home from school and see your father face while hearing 'bout on news I got the strangest feeling your Daddy gonna lose his life And if you're listening now it must mean it's true But maybe there's a chance that not And album remains locked in a hard drive like valuable jewels And I can teach you this in person like I'm teaching you to tie your own I love you and I hope to God I lose you For your eyes
For eyes For your only For your For your only For your eyes do you
One day your daddy called me, told me he had a feeling What he'd been dealing lately, he wasn't telling I tried to pick his brains, still he revealing But I feel the sense of panic in his voice and it was chilling He said "Jermaine, I knew since we was children I 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 steer me from that shit But that shit was in my blood, you know my I know momma nigga, send my love In I never get a chance to speak again I forget the weekends spent sleeping at your crib That's the way I wished my family But my granny was in the 'jects I had to interject like, "Nigga what you talking Fuck is you getting at?" He "Listen, I got no time to dive into descriptions But I've been having premonitions, just call it visions from the other I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow, the time I'm living on is borrowed With that said I'm proud to say I was a Write my story and if I pass go play it for my daughter when she ready So I'm leaving you this record for your eyes only, don't you scratch it disrespect it This is a real one, another lost Ville son I these words to you and all the other children Affected by all the incarceration in this nation That sent your pops to prison when he education Sometimes I think segregation would've done us better Although that means I would never be brought into this world 'cos my daddy was so thrilled when he found him a white to take back to Jonesborough with Little Zach and Cole World barely one years old, now it's thirty years later making the story's told your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was cold Not he was the first to get some pussy twelve years old Not becuase he used to come in the Caddy on some vogues Not 'cause he from bagging up them grams 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 he screamed fuck the law, although that was true Your daddy was a real nigga 'cos he you" For your eyes
