Hey Niggas be on the daily It my dreams faded for far too long, the consequences deadly Can't visualize myself as nothing but a Control the block, serving up rocks and subliminal Cause young niggas is headed, they letting off Full of adrenaline, 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 stressing me like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her I ain't out in the field like that I might be low for the but I will bounce back the charges, back 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 heaven This is hell and I don't mean that I try to find even if the swiper chargeless But these be making life the hardest Resisting the temptation to run up and swipe a Or run up on your yard, snatch daughter bike and pawn it That's why I write this If the pressure get too for me to take and I break Play tape for my daughter and let her know my life is on it Let her my life is on it (For eyes) Let her know my is on For your only
For eyes do you understand For your do you understand me For your do you understand For your eyes do you me For your eyes do you For your do you understand me For your do you understand For your eyes do you me
probably grown now so this song'll hit you If you're hearing this it unfortunately 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 is real So I can be a of you still, my pops was killed too So I know how of you feels you hate me, maybe you miss me, maybe you spite me Life goes in cycles, maybe date a nigga just like me I hope not, I'm tired of dope And fiends smoke rocks I've seen far too many niggas rot I'm writing this 'cause me and the devil had a I see death the corner, apologizing in advance Don't know if I had a chance At a I'm a failure, addicted to pushing paraphernalia But Daddy had dreams once, my had a gleam once disappeared by the age of eight years My Pops shot up, related addicted So Granny raised me in where thugs was hanging Blood was the concrete Older niggas I talked 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 Round the same time you came in world Me and your mama thinking, what the fuck we this girl? I told her Nina, the prettiest name that I could of For the prettiest thing my eyes had 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 cause karma keeps catching up to me And if my past becomes the death of me, I hope you
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 eyes do you me For your do you understand For your do you understand me
In several ways I went out, too many to count Was it the happy crackers that the badges give clout Was it the young nigga, blasting cause the cash running 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 That confirmed the I learned from in the streets was true That real don't speak when they beef with you They just pull up on 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 rules, hugging blocks that don't love you I pray you find a nigga with goals and of views broader than the corner, if not it's gon' corner you Into a box, where your son don't know his pops And the cyclical of doing time continues My worst fear is one day that you come home from school and see your face while hearing 'bout tragedy on news I got the strangest feeling your Daddy gonna lose his soon And sadly if you're listening now it must mean 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 hope to God I don't you For your only
For eyes For your only For eyes For your only For your eyes do you
One day your called me, told me he had a funny feeling What he'd been dealing lately, he wasn't telling I tried to pick his brains, he wasn't revealing But I could feel the sense of in his voice and it was chilling He said "Jermaine, I knew since we was children I never for nothing When times was hard I had discussions with you begging you to help me I with the repercussions of my actions I you tried to steer me away from that shit But that was in my blood, you know my life I know your nigga, send my love In case I never get a to speak again I won't forget the weekends spent sleeping at crib That's the way I wished my lived But my crib was in the 'jects I had to interject like, "Nigga what you 'bout? Fuck is you getting at?" He said "Listen, I got no time to dive into But I've been premonitions, just call it visions from 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 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 ever it disrespect it This is a real one, another lost Ville son I dedicate these words to you and all the other by all the mass incarceration in this nation That sent your to prison when he needed education Sometimes I this segregation would've done us better Although that means I never be brought into this world 'cos my daddy was so thrilled when he found him a white girl to take back to Jonesborough with Little Zach and World barely one years old, now it's 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 some pussy years old Not becuase he to come through in the Caddy on some vogues Not he went from bagging up them grams to serving Os Now your daddy was a nigga, not 'cos he was hard Not because he lived a of crime and sat behind some bars Not he screamed fuck the law, although that was true Your daddy was a real nigga he loved you" For eyes only
