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
