Look in my eyes
What do you see?
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes
You see the pain that I was raised with
Look at the time passing us by
It doesn't make sense
All of the shame stay on my mind
It foul me flagrant
Most of the days spent in the house
I was getting bent
I was feeling like George, looking more like Ben
Gotta rejoice, passing the torch
Asé on my limbs
All of the times I wanted to die
I learned I had to live
Live life, think twice
My brother Michael left
When I was young, I held my tongue
My center bore a pit, just to fill it
Numb my feelings, my peace worth the lift
Spot them crows amongst the birds
I had to count again
Just like my father burnin' herb
It was my only friend at times
A nigga needed one or two
Turn to codependence, sheesh
The lonely image I see every day
I found the fellowship
It's day to day as they say
And then they told me I'm a miracle
I gotta stay
My sobriety, the timing of it just amaze me
Was just a lil' baby, when I felt the shit
The more I learned about myself without my brother Chris
I left the coast, was met with hope to find a brighter day
Suns glimmer, sun shimmer on the path I made
I used the courage I was dealt when I was cast away
I give thanks, give thanks
I give thanks, I give thanks
Look in my eyes
You see the pain that I was raised with
Look at the time passing us by
It doesn't make sense
All of the shame stay on my mind
It foul me flagrant
Most of the days spent in the house
I was getting bent
I was feeling like George, looking more like Ben
Gotta rejoice, passing the torch
Asé on my limbs
All of the times I wanted to die
I learned I had to live
Raised within this city, ay
I left and I went up in flames
Tearing down my pretty frame
I sought a change, my pity stayed
Pouring rain, no umbrella
Stories of this young fella
Kicking ball in Umbros
His son knows he's doing better
Never claimed to owe you nothing
I just know you holding something
I do pray you let it go
Been praying that you do recover
The presence of my brother soul
I felt as if we knew each other
Then I seen the spirit glow
I'm sorry that you had to suffer
We ain't meet in this life
I know that we'll meet in another
Ain't no dimmin' this light
A lot of me left to uncover
I would hold my fist tight
Biting teeth and bloody knuckles
Now that I've reached his height
I hold him close and say I love him
I love you
Say I love him
Look in my eyes
What do you see?
Look in my eyes
