Code Poets - Dark Green Eyes lyrics

[Off Topic:] Put some good highway miles on the Cherokee Jeep Take it to South Street Stare at the freaks Blaring my beats And free-styling, I don't care who's eyeing me up They're all silent With the windows up They're all quiet Damn near ten years Since we locked lips I feel like that was my last kiss Because I been half-hearted, everything, ever since Hindsight shows evidence I might have been a bit sick So I turned out more innocent chicks Than legitimate pimps I'm not lying when I tell them I'm not trying to be in it For the long term Some understand and some never learn I'm no lady k**er I just happy taking my turn Except for this girl She's not perfect by any stretch But I can't reach the pedestal to try and topple the b**h So there she sits Idolized out of her league It's all too obvious after the fact Why she would up and leave my a** Had enough mental issues for psychology cla** And a tight grasp Choking baby girl to her last Guess I wasn't man enough to stand up face facts Now I'm sitting back on the past And if I saw her in the street I'd probably walk on past 'Cause she don't know me from a stranger anymore The J. Moore she fell for is no more But she may like this hip-hop, Off Top, 12-bit lifestyle I'm on [Off Topic:] I became We became I It was in a dream the last time I saw dark green eyes that were like mine I was too young to hold on A fading memory that I've chased for so long [Off Topic:] Now I'm an adult I got faults, but I don't weep I got solids, liquids, and ga**es that help me go to sleep Who's got the container? I got some currency I could trade ya Write a sad, sick, stalker poem to a tenth grader I'm losing sleep on it, even ten years later This goes beyond pathetic, this is psychotic behavior Yeah I moved on, but I moved back I don't know why I guess a happy memory for me Beats being empty, tearing out my insides That was last time I ever cried Even when my grandmom died 'Cause it's '97, and I'm college-bound To a school that I don't want Mom's promises were a front And dad is a sociopath Pulling my strings Never took a chance Never didn't pa** Took a suicide jump from the top of my cla** But I bounced off the pavement with a head full of raps And spent the next couple of years perfecting my craft Kept it from the people who would get in my path Til I came out so raw that I scared them cats First I would create it, then I'd murder a track Then something went and pulled me back Maybe I just never found anything as good Because I made myself believe I never would Never felt so high or low again as far as I recall Truth is, I never really felt again at all [Off Topic:] I became We became I It was in a dream the last time I saw dark green eyes that were like mine I was too young to hold on A fading memory that I've chased for so long
