Playa Fly - Ghetto Eyes lyrics

[Fly talking] Exactly ya Sap s**a Take to much ah this bullsh** War wid ah motherf**a now Exactly what I'm talkin' about I'mma tell ya exactly what I'm sayin' Whether ya like it or not Sap s**a, Sap s**a (various words spoken at once) [Verse 1] My eyes are tired ah takin' pain so let's just rearrange Any lil thing, that we can to help us make this change Focus and aim on stakin' claim to some higher ground They took ours from us dropped us in this hell hole They found my ancestor mothers, brothers sisters left the motherland By brutal force and by the choice of a k**a Klan Nobody knows about this trouble that this brother's seen My windows to life, are kinda foggy and they so unclean What does it mean, when someone says they see a brighter day All that I know is that it's not as dark as it was yesterday Work wid no play, is what I dedicate my livin' too So Kia and Ivan won't have to do the things that Fly would do My daddy inspired, died tryna make me realise that freedom wasn't mine And I must take it upon myself to rise and wizalk Through the line ah fire, to become purified No matter how pure I still be stressed out wid my ghetto eyes, ghetto eyes [Hook: repeat 2X] I'm seein' more than the average human eyes can see I live in darkness God please shine light on me In poverty is where I sleep, not closing these Ghetto eyes, ghetto eyes ah mine [Verse 2] My vision is blurred, my eyes are red and I can't stand round I cannot be cured, cause your Visine won't get this redness out I will not doubt, or even insult my intelligence By placing this Devil made drop, off in my optic lens My eyes were hurt, since my birth, and that was purposely Done by the ones, who so afraid of this minority My head held high, up towards the light every day and night And once out ah sight, will start a fight and Playa end 'em right My eyes are tight from the hype, so Flizy locin' up And see more stuff, that sure enough to make Flizy erupt Like a volcano or inferno that's got you terrified Releasing havoc and the madness I have so deep inside So beautified, to the others who feel the same way But they'll rather hold it and don't show it until they dyin' day Flizy gon' flex, so respect it and I won't be disguised I can see clearly what you do, all wid my ghetto eyes [Hook: repeat 2X] The only scenery I see that's fascinating to Fly The shinin' sun, moon, clouds and the stars in the sky Some heavy heavenly medicated treatment for my Ghetto eyes, ghetto eyes, yeah yeah [Verse 3] A n***a was born torn in half, by his grandma and dad One believed in culture and the other ones in Islamic grand Two different ways which he saw but still he learned the law And three times foul, than the others like some pure uncut raw Not hee-haw, but still a wide eyed Southern boy Choosing to do, things in life, that he just might enjoy He made some mistakes, that were comin' where he was comin' from Victim of circumstance takin' chances living on the run He wasn't so dumb, cause he fulfilled responsibilities Payed all his dues for what he done wid no humility Lessons was learned, and he earned to be off in control Collectin' toll, and placing caution in the way he rolled As he grew older I believe he knew the game was gettin' colder Put down his boulders and started to use the head upon his shoulders Musical poems, of real life is where his heart lies I know him best, cause I can see him with my ghetto eyes, yeah [Hook: repeat 2X] So many visions put incisions in my st-izz-ate of mind But Fly gon' take it like a man, doin' time for crime Get behind me, and Fly will lead the line Using my ghetto eyes, ghetto eyes, yeah yeah
