Playa Fly - Ghetto Eyes lyrics

rate me

[Fly talking]

Exactly ya South Sucka

Take to much ah this bullshit,

War wid ah motherfucka now

Exactly what I\'m talkin\' about

I\'ma tell ya exactly what I\'m sayin\'

Whether ya like it or not,

South Sucka, South Sucka

(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 Killa 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 treat me for my,

Ghetto eyes, ghetto eyes, yeah yeah

[Verse 3]

A nigga 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 stizate ah 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
