Lyrical Breakdown of Look Thru My Eyes - A Journey through Words and Rhymes

Ain't right, I seen your eyes all fucked up

Judge not, less you be judged first

My nigga, my nigga

Look through my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk with my shoes and hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

Burnin' in hell, but don't deserve to be

Got niggas I don't even know that wanna murder me

Just because they've heard of me, and they know that the Dark is for real

The bark is for real, when you see that spark, it'll kill

Peep how I park it and chill, take it over there, walk wit' it

From Y.O. to Cali to Baltimore back to New York wit' it

Come through flyin', up 1-2-9

Up the School Street 'cause I come through mine

Bark at my dogs, "Get at me, nigga!"

Get at me, nigga

What the deal is? Never forget what real is

Them cats that used to say, "X is the best," know he still is

Can't help but feel this, puttin' goosebumps on your arms

Take you there if you want but I lose chunks with the bomb

It's the calm before the storm

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and it's gettin' warm, feel me, yo

Look through my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes and hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street (yes!)

Look through my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes and hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

I can understand why y'all niggas is scared of me

And why the big dogs never wanted to play fair with me

'Cause I leave blood wherever I go, wherever I flow

Wherever I blow, niggas who know I can go, feel me, yo

What is it about the Dark that gets niggas where they about to spark, about to bark?

Take it to the heart 'cause it's real like that

Give him chills, but do I make him feel like that?

Shit is real, what you don't know is gon' get ya

With the steel, what you don't know is gon' split ya

I can blaze tracks, make niggas play racks and raise stacks

"Payback's a bitch," didn't you used to say that?

Play around in dirt, you'll get mud

'Cause you know, I can either spread love or shed blood

And bloodshed turns the mud red and real sticky

Or I can hit you from roof, make it a quickie, for real

Look through my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes and hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street (yes!)

Look through my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes and hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

I bear my soul, niggas wouldn't dare, my role

Gives a nigga a heart of gold, but with a hole

Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot of weight

Just like first time sold an eighth, then told it's not an eighth

But then it's out of state, and it's too late for changes to be made

That's what I get for fuckin' with strangers in the shade

This is it, y'all niggas got to give me a plate

For the same reason that fate chose to give me the weight

Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me

The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty

It was always him versus me, but now I gotta teach him

Personal feelin's put aside, 'cause now I gotta reach him

What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him

But it seems like I've been called on to show him, so I'ma show him

And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me

I've got a good heart but this heart can get ugly, yes

Look through my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes and hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street (yes!)

Look through my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes and hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

Feel the pain, feel the joy, of a man who was never a boy

For real
