Mc Lyte - Eyes Are The Soul lyrics

He knows he's leaving, not much time left Holding on to his very last breath I saw him last week, nervous and uptight Losing sleep, stays up all night Wishin he woulda used his mind and not rushed To push in the bush but took his time To get to know the girl he slapped skins with Shared needles with Wish he could go back, change the direction But now he's got the infection I spoke to him, gave him inspired words I'm sure he's heard Live by the sword, die by the sword What's left, pray to the oh lord You can deny but the truth will unfold Because the eyes are the soul Eyes are the soul.. Eyes are the soul.. I look into his eyes, but he's so high From the crack, he thinks that he can fly He has problems he doesn't like solving Takes one hit, and thinks the world stops revolving 19, his eyes full of tears He hasn't smiled at least for a year His mom is gone cause he was high one night While they k**ed her, because of the crack pipe He's wanted by the law Because he's robbed at least three grocery stores He's lost, all control Take a look, eyes are the soul Eyes are the soul.. Eyes are the soul.. Eyes are the soul.. I look into her eyes, she's so young But i know, where she's comin from I've watched her grow, little girl down the street White shirts and skirts with pleats She cried, fear in her voice Not knowing, she had a choice Oh so sad, oh so lonely If she knew that she's not the only One in school that didn't use the caution Facin, raisin a baby or abortion Her mother said she had to leave Who wants to be where a baby is not received No ultimatum, she's goin to the g.y.n. To put it to an end She's learned a lesson i suppose I can tell, eyes are the soul Eyes are the soul.. Eyes are the soul.. Eyes are the soul..
