Fire in the Eye

[Intro]

Brother Ali. Rhymesayers Entertainment. Midwest. A League Of Our Own

Volume 2 motherfucker. Fuck with me right now. Listen listen

[Verse One]

You are now inside the brain of Americas best

Forrest Whittaker hungry, it's about to get ugly

Police with their arm extended can't touch me

Smacked in the face is how this shit struck me like

Showstopper

A-L-I the Brother

Since 89's the number

And ain't tryin' to slumber

Representin' for the birth pain of my mother

Ali like Rocky, I train in the gutter

But it ain't about the tunnel

It's the light at the end

And we walkin' through life with a mic and a pen

Mentality is that of a cat who gon eat

I grind till the sparks dance off the concrete

Stand close to me

Watch me hopefully

Cause you're gonna see my gift open up the door for me

The last of a dying breed

Live MC

Look inside my eyes and see what's inside of me

[Chorus: 2X]

The ock got the fire in the eye

All head turn when the brother walk by

And you should know that when you got that little feelin' in your soul and you're cold

And tonight you might die ahhhhh!

[Verse Two]

The syllabus will be read aloud this evenin'

Watch out now if you're too opposed to be in this

Open season

You should know not to walk nearby the cage when it's this close to feedin'

Hold your feet in the flame

Ali is the name

You'll be chantin' "boom bye aye" when you repeat it in vain

His beats are insane

And you can ask any local wack rapper to show you where the teeth are ingrained

Even my lazy eye got that fire in it

Went from grindin' to shinin' and now sky's the limit

They do it every day without disguise or gimmick

Your face look better when my fist grind up in it

This is the house that the Sayers build

Now I use it as a return address when I pay my bills

Pain and guilt fill the pages up

We gonna ride till our days is up

Motherfuckers say...

[Chorus] - 2X
