Hey Niggas be on the daily It seems my dreams faded for far too long, the consequences Can't visualize myself as but a criminal Control the block, serving up rocks and stay Cause young niggas is headed, they letting off of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can cause Ain't no back, family dressed in black 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 out in the field like that I might be low for the moment but I will bounce the charges, back to the wall I fight regardless, Screaming "fuck the law", my is lawless That's you call it Ain't got to be no psychic to see this is like the thing from heaven This is hell and I mean that hyperbolic I try to find employment if the swiper chargeless But these be making life the hardest Resisting the temptation to run up and a wallet Or run up on yard, snatch your daughter bike and pawn it why I write this sonnet If the pressure get too much for me to and I break Play this tape for my and let her know my life is on it Let her know my is on it (For eyes) Let her know my is on For your eyes
For your do you understand For your do you understand me For your eyes do you For your eyes do you me For your do you understand For your do you understand me For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me
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 sure if I believe in God But you still alive He got me praying that the spiritual is So I can be a part of you still, my pops was too So I how part of you feels Maybe you hate me, maybe you miss me, maybe you me Life goes in cycles, maybe you'll date a nigga like me I not, I'm tired of dope spots And that smoke rocks I've seen far too many niggas rot I'm writing this me and the devil had a dance I see death round the corner, apologizing in Don't know if I ever had a 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 up, drug related addicted So Granny raised me in projects where thugs was Blood was the concrete Older niggas I talked like they was above maintaining a time sheet That money, picked up the family business By the age of thirteen, six years later was handed the same time you came in this world Me and your thinking, what the fuck we naming this girl? I told her Nina, the prettiest name that I could of For the thing my eyes had ever seen I was nineteen, it took me two to see the trap, this crooked ass system set for me And now it's too for me to ever be the one that set examples that were never set for me I'm living fast, but not fast enough cause karma keeps up to me And if my past the death of me, I hope you understand
For eyes do you understand For your eyes do you me For your eyes do you For eyes do you understand me For eyes do you understand For eyes do you understand me For your do you understand For eyes do you understand me
In several ways I could've out, too many to count Was it the trigger happy that the badges give clout Was it the young nigga, blasting frustrated cause the running out Niggas don't know how to act in a See girl I realized, my definition of a real nigga was skewed My misshaped by new mixtapes That confirmed the shit I from in the streets was true That real niggas don't 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 school, ducking cops Ducking rules, blocks that 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, where your son don't even know his And the cyclical nature of doing time My worst fear is one day that you come 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 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 teach you this in person like I'm teaching you to tie your own I love you and I to God I don't lose you For your eyes
For eyes For eyes only For eyes For eyes only For eyes do you understand
One day daddy called me, told me he had a funny feeling What he'd been dealing with lately, he telling I tried to his brains, still he wasn't revealing But I could feel the of panic in his voice and it was chilling He "Jermaine, I knew since we was children I never asked for nothing When times was hard I never had with you begging you to help me I dealt with the repercussions of my I know you tried to steer me away that shit But that shit was in my blood, you know my I know your momma nigga, send my In I never get a chance to speak again I won't forget the weekends spent sleeping at crib That's the way I wished my family But my granny was in the 'jects 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 visions the other side 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 my story down and if I pass go play it for my daughter when she ready So I'm leaving you this record for eyes only, don't you ever scratch it disrespect it This perspective is a real one, another lost son I dedicate words to you and all the other children Affected by all the incarceration in this nation That sent pops to prison when he needed education Sometimes I think this segregation would've done us Although that means I would never be brought into this world 'cos my daddy was so thrilled when he 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 becuase he to come through in the Caddy on some vogues Not 'cause he went from bagging up 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 some bars Not because he screamed the law, although that was true Your daddy was a real nigga he loved you" For your only
