You're probably grown now so song'll hit you If you're hearing 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 the spiritual is real So I can be a part of you still, my was killed too So I how part of you feels Maybe you hate me, maybe you miss me, you spite me Life goes in cycles, maybe date a nigga just like me I hope not, I'm tired of spots And fiends that smoke I've seen far too many niggas rot I'm this 'cause me and the devil had a dance I see death round the corner, in advance Don't know if I had a chance At a glance I'm a failure, addicted to pushing But Daddy had dreams once, my had a gleam once Innocence disappeared by the age of eight My Pops up, drug related Mama So Granny raised me in projects thugs was hanging Blood was staining the Older niggas I loved like they was above maintaining a time sheet slow money, picked up the family business By the age of thirteen, six years later was sentence the same time you came in this world Me and your mama thinking, the fuck we naming this girl? I her Nina, the prettiest name that I could think of For the prettiest thing my eyes had ever I was nineteen, it took me two to see the trap, this 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 cause karma keeps up to me And if my becomes the death of me, I hope you understand
For your do you understand For your eyes do you me For eyes do you understand For eyes do you understand me For your eyes do you For your eyes do you me For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me
In several I could've went out, too many to count Was it the happy crackers that the badges give clout Was it the young nigga, frustrated cause the cash running out Niggas don't how to act in a drought See baby girl I realized, my definition of a real was skewed My misshaped by new mixtapes That confirmed the shit I learned from in the streets was That niggas don't speak when they beef with you They just pull up on your street, let the have you And if a real nigga hungry he gon' eat your 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 broader than the corner, if not gon' corner you Into a box, where your son don't even his pops 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 tragedy on news I got the strangest feeling your Daddy gonna lose his life And sadly if listening now it must mean it's true But there's a chance that it's not And this album remains locked in a hard drive like valuable And I can teach you this in person like I'm teaching you to tie own shoes I love you and I hope to God I don't you For eyes only
For eyes For your only For eyes For eyes only For your eyes do you
One day your called me, told me he had a funny feeling he'd been dealing with lately, he wasn't telling I to pick his brains, still he wasn't revealing But I could the sense of panic in his voice and it was chilling He said "Jermaine, I knew since we was I never asked for nothing When times was 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 was in my blood, you know my life I know your momma nigga, send my In case I never get a 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 interject like, "Nigga what you 'bout? Fuck is you getting at?" He said "Listen, I got no time to dive descriptions But I've been having premonitions, call it visions from the other side I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow, like the time I'm living on is With that said I'm to say I was a father Write my story down and if I pass go play it for my when she ready So I'm leaving you this record for eyes only, don't you ever scratch it disrespect it perspective is a real one, another lost Ville son I dedicate these words to you and all the other Affected by all the incarceration in this nation That sent your to prison when he needed 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 he found him a white girl to take back to Jonesborough with Little Zach and Cole World barely one years old, now thirty years later making sure the story's told Girl daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was cold Not because he was the first to get pussy twelve years old Not he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues Not 'cause he went bagging up them grams to serving Os Now your daddy was a nigga, not 'cos he was hard Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind bars Not because he fuck the law, although that was true Your daddy was a real 'cos he loved you" For your only
