Memphis Bleek - Life Through My Eyes lyrics

rate me

[2Pac]

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on

[Memphis Bleek]

Yo, it's just another day I wake up, it's more rock to break up

We take physical losses and y'all just take a pay cut

Plus, you take a mortgage loan to hold ya home

But our credit is pathetic they just let it be known

So they evict us, got some of my sisters livin' in shelters

It's the system, the difference you teach ya kids to know better

But you can go home, you know ya mom and pop there

Yeah, we can go home but our life is out there

Yeah, bills through the roof I'm makin' payments every week

Get my money off them books cuz ain't nobody hired me

People die in your community, life is a struggle

Kids dyin' every day cuz they be shootin' for the coke

Life through my blood shot eyes can be trouble sometimes

I smoke the pain away but still not high

I sip that Henny, say a prayer, after that then I'm good

Just bless the days for all my people that's raised in the hood

It's our life

[2Pac]

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on

[Memphis Bleek]

And I done traveled the world, wish you could see what I see

I been through numerous hoods, they livin' just like we

I've seen the wars, seen the struggle, seen the violence in the street

Seen a hustler get fed up sometimes and pop back at police

Cuz he couldn' stand to see himself in penitentiary

Couldn't see those type of numbers so it's elementary

See the way I see it's gotta be Heaven for a G

Cuz it's hell tryin' to feed ya seed and leave a legacy

See wrong, see right depends on how you see in life

See justice, she's blind she won't let you see the light

Seen people doin' bad I ain't the only one that see

Seems like they wanna see us all in this poverty

See, I'm in the hood they buildin' condos every week

Shit, it hurts to live like this see it's nice across the street

But if you can focus in this life ain't ride

If you can vision what I printed you'll see life through my eyes

Let's go

[2Pac]

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on

[Memphis Bleek]

I saw the raids in the hood, saw a dude take a trip with like

Ten of them thangs in my hood

Even saw a young baller slip, he got hit with a clip

And that dude that took that route he got hit with like ten

Saw the inside of a cell, just bums and fiends

Saw the laws of the jails, nigga B's and C's

Got Kings and GD's saw a life took for two G's

Saw the dope kill a fiend and that just brings you more cheese

I saw the block that was worst at its best

Seen a man play with a gun and shoot himself in his chest

I' tryin' to write so you can see what he saw

You know life through hs eyes, that be Tupac Shakur

And let's go

[2Pac]

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on

No fairy tales for this young black male

Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales

Though life is hard we carry on

Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on
