Enonymous - Take a Look in My Eyes Lyrics

It's all in my eyes, they never telling no lies
And you could tell by my eyes, I pray that I could touch lives
Good evening New York, I live and breathe in New York
Peoples in Harlem, WashHeights, even the BX (Ayo)
We on the 1 and the A headed to work and we late
The MTA don't give no reasons for these stupid delays
They tryin' to play with my paycheck, I'm like, "Lord gimme patience"
Then the train go express and I say, "Lord you the greatest"
You know I'm just playing, you know my heart full of praises
But they always get me tight like a glove made of latex
People in situations like a break with a late ex
Not 'cuz they separated, shorty's having a baby
He ain't get the latex when she sent him the late text
She told him come through and there was no hesitation
Now it's no visitation, what a way to be raised in
A place we was placed in 'cuz of hatred that's ancient
But just look how we made it from the chains and slave ships
It don't matter where I'm planted, I'm a rose in the pavement
Jesus rose and was faced with questions 'bout how He living
So how we gon' be tripping when they question how we living
I was destined to be different, had to shift the way I'm spitting
Now my clique ain't really clicking and my friends ain't tryin' to kick it
And that's friends in quotations, they live for donations
But the moment you ain't got it, they go on vacation
Man, check ya location, the hood ain't so gracious
Act up and get clapped, that's a standing ovation
Take a look in my eyes, a lot days I be tired
But I just stay on my grind, that's way I was wired
Ayo I can't even lie, life is a mother sometimes
That's when I stop and take a moment and thank God I'm alive
Take a look in my eyes, a lot days I be tired
But I just stay on my grind, that's way I was wired
Ayo I can't even lie, life is a mother sometimes
That's when I stop and take a moment and thank God I'm alive
Conception in '85, reception into the struggles
Recollections of myself, ascensions over my troubles
Like how it ain't easy pleasing Heaven when you eleven
And even the church reverend committing some of the seven
Connections with my father be running on faulty sockets
But we both opened the faucets when my uncle's liver rotted
God you could've stopped it, but who are we to question
When our presence is requested and it's time for us to exit
I'm grateful for the blessings, especially the lessons
Every time I acted reckless and it could've left me breathless
But check it, Mami's on her knees like please Jesus
Be with him every time my baby's on the streets
'Cuz he don't listen to me, he probably out there smoking weed
And I was out there smoking weed, twenty homies rolling deep
I took heed to instruction, I couldn't follow me
'Cuz pride lead to destruction, R.I.P. Apollo Creed
I'm looking more like Adonis, 'cuz even when I bleed
That mean I'm fighting the hardest, I was born a different breed
Exceeding the expectations, erasing the limitations
Escaping the plantations, now they just corporations
They serving us indignation, ways of a wayward nation
Got satan waiting to take the life that we always chasing
But wait what are we chasing, our haste powers The Matrix
The paper don't mean you made it when what you made for is wasted
Take a look in my eyes, a lot days I be tired
But I just stay on my grind, that's way I was wired
Ayo I can't even lie, life is a mother sometimes
That's when I stop and take a moment and thank God I'm alive
Take a look in my eyes, a lot days I be tired
But I just stay on my grind, that's way I was wired
Ayo I can't even lie, life is a mother sometimes
That's when I stop and take a moment and thank God I'm alive
It's all in my eyes, they never telling no lies
And you could tell by my eyes, I pray that I could touch lives
