CODE POETS (OFF TOPIC & PHASE FATE) - Dark Green Eyes lyrics

rate me

[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 killer

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 bitch

So there she sits

Idolized out of her league

It's all too obvious after the fact

Why she would up and leave my ass

Had enough mental issues for psychology class

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 gasses 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 pass

Took a suicide jump from the top of my class

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
