Eyes

You know they say, the eyes never lie, do you know why
It's cause the eyes, are the window, into a man's soul
It goes like this

I ain't gotta say it, you can read it in my eyes, ain't nobody real, they're only fakes in disguise
You won't hear it how it is, you gotta read between the lines, ain't nobody show me where to go, I had to follow signs

Fighting demons in my mind, got a feeling deep inside, that I'm gonna lose my life, and it's eating me alive
Should I put the spliff down, or should I get a little higher
Tried and I failed, they say God loves a trier

I've been going through tyres, going through liars
Going through my DMs, hella people I inspire, so I gotta keep writing, gotta keep providing
All I see is jakes, I don't know how I'm surviving

I used to sit with cats, now I'm with the bosses
Used to have a trap house, now we got a office
Made our own label, I ain't taking any offers
Been through the motions, you should see what's in the locker

Yo, gave out the best of me, that's why I'm so stingy with the rest of me
Took years perfecting this recipe, the wins feel nice, the losses hurt terribly
What's five figures? I lost that in a NFT

I got a couple mouths to feed, people that depend on me
I was seeking guidance, felt like even God neglected me
If you weren't there for me, then fuck you, respectfully
What's an all-nighter to a man that ain't slept all week

What's a goon to a goblin? There's a few, I'm from Gotham
Where the youths would just shoot if there's a problem, like they never had a option
Put the blame on them, like the system never flopped them

We ain't gotta talk, I can sense it in your aura
Back to the chalkboard, start a brainstorm
I swear I feel like only half my bad karma has caught up
Mum used to say, this ain't how you was brought up

In and out her yard, I was trying not to make a sound
I dropped out of college first year, I chose the paper route
Concrete jungles, you'll struggle just to make it out
I know the way it goes, I'm just watching how it's playing out

Only time I'm gassing, is when a man accelerates
Push the pedal to the metal, watch the money generate
Smoking on some Zheetos, used to be the lemon haze
Moving incognito, cause the ends have been getting flames
