Eye to Eye

[Intro]

Don't see eye to eye, no, we don't see eye to eye, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, yeah

[Verse 1]

I play ball like a prospect, they still look at me like a suspect

Look at me, they see conflict, look at me, they think combat

Got a contract off a Compaq, got a contract off my concepts

Look at me with such contempt, squint like they need contacts

See me, they see the wrong path

Stare down, they're scared now, officer, they wanna call now

In the park now, in the dark now, they watch the way I walk now

Don't really wanna talk now, wanna see me on lockdown

Yeah

[Chorus]

Thank God I made it home today

If I walked another block, mighta gotten blown away

I don't think I'd be surprised, these things happen every day

Nowadays, eye for an eye, I don't know just what to say, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, no, we don't see eye to eye, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, no, we don't see eye to eye, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, no, we don't see eye to eye, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, yeah

[Verse 2]

I worked all my life for this, tried to fit in

Tried to get in where I fit in 'cause the skin I'm in

Got two minds that I live with, double consciousness

Wear a big grin on the outside, but it's pain within

Hope things start getting better when the change begins

Both sides stay under pressure, but we live different

Thin line between the victim and the witness

I feel it from a distance, feeling defenceless

Damn

[Chorus]

Thank God I made it home today

If I walked another block, mighta gotten blown away

I don't think I'd be surprised, these things happen every day

Nowadays, eye for an eye, I don't know just what to say, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, no, we don't see eye to eye, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, no, we don't see eye to eye, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, no, we don't see eye to eye, yeah

Don't see eye to eye, yeah
