Hey Niggas be on the daily It seems my dreams for far too long, the consequences deadly Can't visualize myself as but a criminal Control the block, serving up and stay subliminal Cause niggas is hard headed, they letting off of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can cause Ain't no coming back, family in black Plus it's hot now, the outside it's hard to flip a pack And my daughter gotta eat, her mama be stressing me like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her Like I ain't out in the field that I be low for the moment but I will bounce back Despite the charges, back to the wall I regardless, Screaming "fuck the law", my life is That's you call it Ain't got to be no psychic to see this is the farthest thing from heaven This is hell and I don't that hyperbolic I try to employment even if the swiper chargeless But these felonies be making life the the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet Or run up on your yard, your daughter bike and pawn it That's why I write sonnet If the pressure get too much for me to take and I Play this tape for my daughter and let her know my is on it Let her my life is on it (For eyes) Let her my life is on For your eyes
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 eyes do you me For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me
You're probably now so this song'll hit you If you're this it means unfortunately I'm no longer with you In the physical, not even sure if I in God But because you 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 me, maybe you spite me Life goes in cycles, maybe you'll date a nigga like me I hope not, I'm tired of spots And fiends that rocks seen far too many niggas hopes rot I'm writing this 'cause me and the devil had a I see death round the corner, in advance know if I ever had a chance At a I'm a failure, addicted to pushing paraphernalia But had dreams once, my eyes had a gleam once Innocence disappeared by the age of eight My shot up, drug related addicted So Granny raised me in projects where was hanging was staining the concrete Older niggas I loved talked like they was above maintaining a time That money, picked up the family business By the age of thirteen, six years later was sentence Round the same you came in this 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 thing my eyes had seen I was nineteen, it took me two felonies to see the trap, this ass system set for me And now it's too late for me to ever be the one that set examples that were set for me I'm living fast, but not fast enough cause karma keeps up to me And if my past becomes the death of me, I you understand
For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me For your do you understand 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
In several 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 frustrated cause the cash out Niggas don't how to act in a drought See baby I realized, my definition of a real nigga was skewed My misshaped by new mixtapes confirmed the shit I learned from in the streets was true That real niggas don't speak when they with you They pull up on your street, let the heat have you And if a real hungry he gon' eat your food I was a fool, spent all my time ducking school, cops Ducking rules, blocks that don't love you I pray you find a nigga with goals and 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 of doing time continues 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 your Daddy gonna lose his life soon And sadly if you're listening now it must mean it's But maybe a chance that it's not And this album remains locked in a hard drive like valuable And I can teach you this in like I'm teaching you to tie your own shoes I love you and I hope to God I don't you For eyes only
For eyes For your eyes For eyes For your only For your do you understand
One day your daddy me, told me he had a funny feeling What he'd dealing with lately, he wasn't telling I tried to pick his brains, still he wasn't 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 with you begging you to help me I with 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 your momma nigga, send my love In case I never get a to speak again I won't forget the weekends spent sleeping at your the way I wished my family lived But my crib was in the 'jects I had to like, "Nigga what you talking 'bout? Fuck is you getting at?" He said "Listen, I got no time to into descriptions But I've been premonitions, just call it visions from the other side I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow, like the I'm living on is borrowed that said I'm proud to say I was a father Write my story down and if I pass go play it for my daughter when she So I'm leaving you this record for your eyes only, don't you ever scratch it it This perspective is a real one, lost Ville son I dedicate these to you and all the other children Affected by all the mass in this nation That sent your pops to prison when he needed Sometimes I think this segregation 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 girl to take to Jonesborough with Little Zach and 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 some pussy years old Not becuase he used to come through in the on some vogues Not 'cause he went from up them grams to serving Os Now your was a real nigga, not 'cos he was hard Not because he lived a of crime and sat behind some bars Not because he screamed fuck the law, although was true Your daddy was a nigga 'cos he loved you" For your eyes
