IN THE EYES

(chorus)
Tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ Am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know, yo/ tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know

(verse1)
In the eyes of the law/ I’m a criminal first time felon/ rebellin crack sellin dumpin shots into niggas telling/ slangin hangin bangin like a gang in colors on brothers/ that endanger lives of others and cause covers to cover mothers sons and shit/ polluting my lungs and shit/ busting guns and shit/ and having fun with it/ another nigga boostin pollutin lootin unworthy of an education deserving of an execution/ who time spent, getting bent, plotting robberies to pay the rent that spray to vent and never really worked and made a scent/ role in stolen whips holding chips hips on honey dips guns and clips strips taking trips when the money flips statistic/ prints on the pistol in ballistic/ criminal court defendant rocking a Jesus pendent/ guilty till proven innocent, guilty when proven innocent/ menace to society all is rotten in me gee/ this is what they see, but I ask you man…. is it me I ask you man….. is it me

(chorus)
Tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ Am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know, yo/ tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know



See in the eyes of my fam/ I’m a brother a lover a son a dad/ somebody that means good but does bad/ provider protector stuck in saintins sector trying to get wealthy/ playing the game of life with the hand that Gods dealt me/ tryna rise, sick of wiping the tears from my moms eyes and at the same time hold back my cries/ feeling stuck between, quicksand and brass skies quick hand to blast guys sicknan to pass wives/ I need to be baptized/ black people white lies crack lethal life lies lifeless/ tryna find a reason for what life is, while ice is, blinding me from tryna learn a lesson only lifers got time to see/ while young and making mistakes like aint no mind in me fighting between my mind and me/ moving so fast I got no time for me/ in a place, where dangers got a sign to see but I pay no mind to see/ got to get mine for me, all on the mind of me yo

(chorus)
Tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ Am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know, yo/ tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know


Look in the eyes of me/ and see, what a brother done seen a little to damn much too soon/ everyday a problem occur/ its so much it’s a blur/ and I just can’t take it each noon/ sit and I drink/ sip then I think/ I’m tryna get by, dealing with this sometimes I feel I might die/ but I try, and I try, and I try/ to maintain without always being high/ when I’m working my nine to five/ give my all on this job/ why we as black people can’t strive, I pays it no mind, I stays on my grind, and I don’t let these haters mess with my time/ cause when it’s all on me/ I’ll be damned if I be/ broke with no place to go no food to eat/ cause when it’s all on me, I’ll be out in these streets, trying to get mine cause I got to eat Hey!

(chorus)
Tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ Am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know, yo/ tell me what I am in your eyes am I something that you despise/ am I something you idolize am I the cause of your cries am I the reason for lies/ let a nigga know
