4 Your Eyez Only
词曲：Jermaine Cole
演唱：J. Cole
For your eyes only for your eyes
For your eyes only for your eyes only
(for your eyes)
For your eyes only
Hey
Niggas be dying on the daily
It seems my dreams faded for far too long
the consequences deadly
Can't visualize myself as nothing but a criminal
Control the block serving up rocks and stay subliminal
Cause young niggas is hard headed they letting off
Full of adrenaline ignorant to what death can cause
Ain't no coming back family dressed in black
Plus it's hot now the cops outside it's hard to flip a pack
And my daughter gotta eat
her mama be stressing me like
I ain't the one that put them Jays on her feet
Like I ain't out in the field like that
I might be low for the moment but I will bounce back
Despite the charges back to the wall I fight regardless
Screaming fuck the law my life is lawless
That's what you call it
You ain't got to be no psychic to see
this is like the farthest thing from heaven
This is hell and I don't mean that hyperbolic
I try to find employment even if the swiper chargeless
But these felonies be making life the hardest
Resisting the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet
Or run up on your yard
snatch your daughter's bike and pawn it
That's why I write this sonnet
If the pressure gets to much for me
to take and I break
Play this tape for my daughter
and let her know my life is on it
(For your eyes)
Let her know my life is on it
For your eyes
For your eyes only
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes do you understand me
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes do you understand me
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes do you understand me
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes
You're probably grown now so this song'll hit you
If you're hearing this it means unfortunately
I'm no longer with you
In the physical not even sure if I believe in God
But because you still alive
He got me praying that the spiritual is real
So I can be a part of you still my pops was killed too
So I know how part of you feels
Maybe you hate me maybe you miss me
maybe you spite me
Life goes in cycles
maybe you'll date a nigga just like me
I hope not I'm tired of dope spots
And fiends that smoke rocks
I've seen far too many niggas hopes rot
I'm writing this 'cause me and the devil had a dance
I see death round the corner apologizing in advance
Don't know if I ever had a chance
At a glance I'm a failure
addicted to pushing paraphernalia
But Daddy had dreams once
my eyes had a gleam once
Innocence disappeared by the age of eight years
My Pops shot up drug related
Mama addicted
So Granny raised me in projects where thugs was hanging
Blood was staining the concrete
Older niggas
I loved talked like they was above maintaining a time sheet
That slow money picked up the family business
By the age of thirteen
six years later was handed sentence
Round the same time you came in this world
Me and your mama thinking
what the fuck we naming this girl
I told her Nina
the prettiest name that I could think of
For the prettiest thing my eyes had ever seen
I was nineteen
it took me two felonies to see the trap
this crooked ass system set for me
And now it's too late for me to ever be the one
that set examples that were never set for me
I'm living fast
but not fast enough cause karma keeps catching up to me
And if my past becomes the death of me
I hope you understand
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes do you understand me
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes do you understand me
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes do you understand me
For your eyes do you understand
For your eyes
In several ways I could've went out
too many to count
Was it the trigger happy crackers that the badges give clout
Was it the young nigga
blasting frustrated cause the cash running out
Niggas don't know how to act in a drought
See baby girl I realized
my definition of a real nigga was skewed
My views misshaped by new mixtapes
That confirmed the shit I learned from in the streets was true
That real niggas don't speak when they beef with you
They just pull up on your street
let the heat have you
And if a real nigga hungry he gon' eat your food
I was a fool spent all my time ducking school
ducking cops
Ducking rules hugging blocks that don't love you
I pray you find a nigga with goals and point of views
Much broader than the corner if not it's gon' corner you
Into a box where your son don't even know his pops
And the cyclical nature of doing time continues
My worst fear is one day
that you come home from school and see your father face
while hearing 'bout tragedy on news
I got the strangest feeling your Daddy gonna lose his life soon
And sadly if you're listening now it must mean it's true
But maybe there's a chance that it's not
And this album remains locked in a hard drive like valuable jewels
And I can teach you this in person like
I'm teaching you to tie your own shoes
I love you and I hope to God I don't lose you
For your eyes only
For your eyes
For your eyes only
For your eyes
For your eyes only
For your eyes do you understand
for your eyes only
One day your daddy called me
told me he had a funny feeling
What he'd been dealing with lately he wasn't telling
I tried to pick his brains still he wasn't revealing
But I could feel the sense of panic in his voice
and it was chilling
He said Jermaine
I knew since we was children I never asked for nothing
When times was hard I never had discussions
I dealt with the repercussions of my actions
with you begging you to help me
I know you tried to steer me away from that shit
But that shit was in my blood you know my life
I know your momma nigga send my love
In case I never get a chance to speak again
I won't forget the weekends spent sleeping at your crib
That's the way I wished my family lived
But my granny crib was in the 'jects
I had to interject like
Nigga what you talking 'bout
Fuck is you getting at
He said Listen
I got no time to dive into descriptions
just call it visions from the other side
But I've been having premonitions
I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow
like the time I'm living on is borrowed
With that said I'm proud to say I was a father
Write my story down and
if I pass go play it for my daughter when she ready
So I'm leaving you this record for your eyes only
don't you ever scratch it disrespect it
This perspective is a real one
another lost Ville son
I dedicate these words to you and all the other children
Affected by all the mass incarceration in this nation
That sent your pops to prison when he needed education
Sometimes I think this segregation would've done us better
Although that means
I would never be brought into this world
'cos my daddy was so thrilled
when he found him a white girl
to take back to Jonesborough with
Little Zach and Cole World barely one years old
now it's thirty years later making sure the story's told
Girl your daddy was a real nigga not 'cos he was cold
Not because he was the first
to get some pussy twelve years old
Not becuase he used to come through in the Caddy
Not 'cause he went from bagging up them grams to serving Os
on some vogues
Now your daddy was a real nigga not 'cos he was hard
Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars
Not because he screamed fuck the law although that was true
Your daddy was a real nigga 'cos he loved you
For your eyes only
