IN MY EYES...Featuring "Tha Poetic Son"

Feel us - Pay attention to this,

Take a trip with us, Lets go,



(Tha Poet)

In my eyes there's a rage- That makes me take center stage,

Calling for your attention- And telling you to disregard my age.

You see I'm kind of like a mage- Because the things I write is magic,

In my eyes you see a real life- That is worse than anything you imagine.

I've experienced things you couldn't fathom- It's a non-fiction horror story,

Fighting through it all- But knowing that I'll never achieve glory.

In my eyes you see worries- Of not making it to tomorrow,

There's darkness within me- Filled with joyful sorrow.

You see I use the word joyful- Because sorrow is all I know,

Being happy has never been an option- So sorrow has helped me grow.

In to this male before you- I'm hesitant to call myself a "man",

But I also feel that I am- Because I was walking before I could stand.

In my eyes you see my hand- Reaching out to be held,

The only time I asked for help- Yet still I somehow fell.

Straight into the depths of hell- Selling my soul to the Devil,

The irony of it all- Is that it's still cold on this level.

In my eyes you see emptiness- Because in this world I'm all alone,

No friends to help me out- My good heart has turned to stone.

In my eyes you see depression- You see life teaching me a lesson,

Left with so many questions- No answers, so I'm guessing.

So many times in Life- I've prayed and asked for guidance,

Then I'd patiently wait for an answer- But all I got was silence.

In my eyes you see violence- A beast being held back,

In my mind is where the cells at- He's just waiting for me to yell attack.

So I can unleash my wrath- Giving this world a blood bath,

Where's your daughters and sons at- This is worse than any gun blast.

Because in my eyes you see a kid- That is unwilling to quit,

The world has turned it's back on me- And in my eyes,

That ain't about shit.



(Tha Poetic Son)

Well in my eyes - You could see I've turned my back on this world

See I've lived on my own for so long - My first reaction is to curl

Fetus position - I was forced to back tracking, quitting, and submission

It took walking on hells hot coals - To halt this transition

The flaming flames that massaged my feet - Somehow made me sane

Erupting in anger, malice, and a constant umbrella for rain

The reflective looks in my eyes - Was similar to Cain

As he murdered his own - Somehow I could do the same

Cause my eyes were bland... No color, no life - Just pain!

They told the story of many men and women - Who felt dark creep

Yet slightly it soothed you - Like sleeping a hot night with a cold sheet

Only to reveal your body - For you carry a fetish for darkness and heat

This fetish engulfs your life - Somehow helping the stress

Just to find its sly as a fox ways - Would have you pray upon death

But one night... You awake soaked, drenched, absolutely wet

Body covered in tears, not hot sticky sweet

And you realize the tears from your eyes - Were a gift from the sky

It was nourishment inside ... that had to get out

For you to get by - For you to survive

That was me that night - Those were the tears I cried

Tears of anger, malice, and years and years of pain

So now when you look in my eyes - They tell a better tale

One that shows previous hurt, anger, and somehow escaped hell

Two brown eyes filled with life and high set sights

For peeks and plateaus of a better plain

It was a trial and a tribulation to make it from insane to sane

Thankfully I did better than weather the storm... I outran the rain!
