Look In My Eyes
If you can see the look in my eyes
Look in my eyes (then you'll know that it's true)
What do you see?
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes, you see the pain that I was raised with
Look at the time passing us by, it doesn't make sense
All of the shame stay on my mind, it foul me flagrant
Most of the days spent in the house, I was getting bent
I was feeling like George, looking more like Ben
Gotta rejoice, passing the torch. asé was on my limbs
All of the times I wanted to die, I learned I had to live
Live life, think twice
My brother Michael left
When I was young, I held my tongue
My center bore a pit, just to fill it
Numb my feelings, my peace worth the lift (it's worth it)
Spot them crows amongst the birds
I had to count again (I had to count)
Just like my father burnin' herb
It was my only friend
At times a nigga needed one or two
I turn to codependence, sheesh
The lonely image I see every day (day)
I found the fellowship
It's day to day, as they say (as they say)
And then they told me I'm a miracle
I gotta stay (stay)
My sobriety, the timing of it just amaze me (amaze me)
Was just a lil' baby (baby), when I felt the shit (when I felt the shit)
The more I learned about myself without my brother Chris (without my brother)
I left the coast, was met with hope to find a brighter day (brighter day)
Suns glimmer, sun shimmer on the path I made (I made)
I used the courage I was dealt when I was cast away (cast away)
I give thanks (I give thanks)
I give thanks (I give thanks)
Look in my eyes, you see the pain that I was raised with
Look at the time passing us by, it doesn't make sense
All of the shame stay on my mind, it foul me flagrant
All of the days I could have cried, I knew that I had to repent
Most of the days spent in the house, I was getting bent
I was feeling like George, looking more like Ben
Gotta rejoice, passing the torch, asé was on my limbs
All of the times I wanted to die, I learned I had to live
Raised within this city, aye
I left and I went up in flames
Tearing down my pretty frame
I sought a change, my pity stayed (pity stayed)
Pouring rain, no umbrella (umbrella)
Stories of this young fella (young fella)
Kicking ball in Umbros
His son knows he's doing better (doing better)
Never claimed to owe you nothing (nah)
I just know you holding something (holding something)
I do pray you let it go
Been praying that you do recover
The presence of my brother soul
I felt as if we knew each other (we knew each other)
Then I seen his spirit glow
I'm sorry that you had to suffer
We ain't meet in this life
I know that we'll meet in another
Ain't no dimmin' this light
A lot of me left to uncover (to uncover)
I would hold my fist tight (fist tight)
Biting teeth and bloody knuckles (knuckles)
Now that I've reached his height
I hold him close and say I love him (say I love him)
Say I love him
Look in my eyes
What do you see?
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes (then you'll know that it's true)
What do you see?
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes, you see the pain that I was raised with
Look at the time passing us by, it doesn't make sense
All of the shame stay on my mind, it foul me flagrant
Most of the days spent in the house, I was getting bent
I was feeling like George, looking more like Ben
Gotta rejoice, passing the torch. asé was on my limbs
All of the times I wanted to die, I learned I had to live
Live life, think twice
