(feat. Tribe Unique) 



Inside your eyes 



Inside your eyes one can see a person's soul 



Inside your eyes 



Three sides of the story to give you a full whole 



Young girl had a baby, babies having babies 

Today a mother, yesterday a young lady 

And even though her peoples taught her right 

These young fellas picked fruit and they got a ripe 

Pick off the tree, pricked by a thorn 

(I'm pregnant) 

Nine months later, child born 

What no one knew is that she planned it (why?) 

To get away from everybody she had already abandoned 

She had problems in her home though 

Can't count on Mama or nobody so she had to get her own dough 

She felt she had to be kept to keep herself in check 

Hooked up with a roughneck, and had sex 

He had a little money, and didn't dress bummy 

That's why she thought she had it made when he blew up her tummy 

But he didn't want to stay, she felt played 

She said ("It's no problem that we can't solve") 

It was a big standoff and her man ran off 

I ran into her the other day and I could tell (I could tell) 

By the look in her eyes, she's was going through hell 

What's up 



I can see the vibe from the look inside your eyes 

(They tell me why) 

I can see the vibe from the look inside your eyes 

(They tell me why, they tell me why) [x2] 



Inside your eyes (Inside your eyes) Inside your eyes 



The girl's mama got a problem too (what's that?) 

Her kid's workin her nerves and the authorities is calling too 

All she knew is she got bills to pay 

She ain't wrong, at some point everybody feels this way 

She can't help but to wonder 

If she did something wrong, or did the ghetto take her under 

Oh what a bummer it's gon' be a long summer 

She's gotta call the plumber cause the pipes are clogged 

This type of life is called struggling 

Her son sees this so he starts hustling, getting his 

In the process, a major layoff in the work place 

Mama came home with a sad face 

Bad luck, no job 

Welfare, oh God 

She prays and crys 

I can tell how she's feeling by the look in her eyes 



[chorus] 



Mama's son found a way out (How?) 

He got some change from that robbery that everybody's talking 'bout (What?) 

But didn't do enough planning 

He bought a gang of clothes and all the rest went gambling 

And oh yeah, he's developed a new habit 

Puffing on that sherm stick, acting like a savage 

Till one day the cops let him have it 

Caught with an automatic pistol and a dove 

He was off to see the judge 

With three strikes in effect 

The threat of a second was enough to put his life in check 

And while his whole family looked at him 

The judge laughed, proceeded to throwing the book at him 

I ran with him so I know the whole story 

I feel for him, it could've been him or me 

I went to visit last weekend 

Maybe he could drop some game on me that I wasn't peeping 

I saw his family there 

His mother started crying cause she saw somebody else cared 

These are the stories of our lives 

A sister, mother, and brother described by the look in their eyes 



[chorus]
