Look In My Eyes

If you can see the look in my eyes

Look in my eyes (then you'll know that it's true)

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 was 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 (it's worth it)

Spot them crows amongst the birds

I had to count again (I had to count)

Just like my father burnin' herb

It was my only friend

At times a **** needed one or two

I turn to codependence, sheesh

The lonely image I see every day (day)

I found the fellowship

It's day to day, as they say (as they say)

And then they told me I'm a miracle

I gotta stay (stay)

My sobriety, the timing of it just amaze me (amaze me)

Was just a lil' baby (baby), when I felt the shit (when I felt the shit)

The more I learned about myself without my brother Chris (without my brother)

I left the coast, was met with hope to find a brighter day (brighter day)

Suns glimmer, sun shimmer on the path I made (I made)

I used the courage I was dealt when I was cast away (cast away)

I give thanks (I 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

All of the days I could have cried, I knew that I had to repent

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 was on my limbs

All of the times I wanted to die, I learned I had to live

Raised within this city, aye

I left and I went up in flames

Tearing down my pretty frame

I sought a change, my pity stayed (pity stayed)

Pouring rain, no umbrella (umbrella)

Stories of this young fella (young fella)

Kicking ball in Umbros

His son knows he's doing better (doing better)

Never claimed to owe you nothing (nah)

I just know you holding something (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 (we knew each other)

Then I seen his 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 (to uncover)

I would hold my fist tight (fist tight)

Biting teeth and bloody knuckles (knuckles)

Now that I've reached his height

I hold him close and say I love him (say I love him)

Say I love him

Look in my eyes

What do you see?
