Soft Eyes

[Intro: Skyzoo]

Yeah

Last call for alcohol, right?

Last call for alcohol, baby

I mean, it might be a speakeasy around the corner or somethin', but

We'll figure it out later, hah

[Verse 1: Skyzoo]

Last call for alcohol

Never like when they hit the lights, but shit, you had a ball

More than you assumed would ensue, but what you knew

Was if you was late to the room, it still came to you after all

Everything I did was with you in mind

And there was always a mirror attached when I threw a line

As long you're doing fine, then my shit is duly lined

Dependin' on how you spell it, I took care of you and I

Or this was all expеcted

Properly tied, I was dеfined

When they was geeking, son, I was beefing with property lines

I gave you more, came here to paint the store

Added happy trees where bodies decorate the floor

Rest in peace to Kelly and the homis that came before

And shout to all the broads who bought a body to make it yours

I was writing records that embodied what they endured

As well as who be loading up a shotty to paint a wall

Along with who was ignoring the part where they aim at y'all

Like, "Somebody got through to them, so what else could you do to them?"

I'm comfortable including them, when everyone was losing them

I was out pursuing them, feeling like I'm crew with them

So none of this is new to them, they been in the loop with me

From every which a way, but shit it came together beautifully

It fit you all suitably, and it was worth the kitchen time

Petals on the windowsill, you overdue to give me mine, for real

[Chorus: Blakk Soul]

I gave my all (I gave you my all)

But was my all ever enough?

The pain outweighed the pleasure

But is my purpose above my plight?

Gave you life, dropped gems and pearls

Took this all around the world

Truly yours for as long as you need

With all that you need, until I

Came to realize you closed your eyes and still wanted me

Your eyes wasn't soft enough to see what you needed to see

[Verse 2: Skyzoo]

So last year I was writing my retirement speech

Looking back at all the grounds that I'd aspired to reach

I called Phonte and we kicked it for an hour or three

Brotherly love, he put a little fire under me

He said, "Yo, you one of the few, shit is obvious, B

So how you talkin' 'bout retiring? You outta your bean"

I said, "Bro, you got a point, thatʼs why I called"

He said, "Don't let these motherfuckers say when your time is gone

Look who you inspired, dog," I started to take a peek

And counted all these greats that they be praising that came from me, humble brag

I was too busy tryna save a culture to double back

More hands than I'd ever known, but still I juggled that

Shoulders like Kiyan dad, the seven with me

So whoever bet against me, tell 'em I spray back

Single-handed, other hand was playing '68 Olympics

Stretched out from Tommie to John, gave it distance

Justice to poetically speak on whatever mattered

And gunning for the rest to believe it because it happened

You're free to be on your Kappa, that's whether Kaepernick

Or Kappas passing the stick or capping back with the blick

The perils of understanding them all, my hand involved

Bill Withers' grandma hands how I hand it off, yeah

In search of Nirvana, I'm honored to tread it carefully

Room full of reasons why, singing, "Make it clear for me," for real

[Chorus: Blakk Soul]

I gave my all (I gave you my all)

But was my all ever enough?

The pain outweighed the pleasure

But is my purpose above my plight?

Gave you life, dropped gems and pearls

Took this all around the world

Truly yours for as long as you need

With all that you need, until I

Came to realize you closed your eyes and still wanted me

Your eyes wasn't soft enough to see what you needed to see

[Outro: Skyzoo]

Last call for alcohol, haha, yeah

If this is it, like if this is the last joint, this is the last hoorah

This the last call for alcohol, baby

Gotta say, whether you knew it or not

You was pretty much at the finest

The finest bar establishment, the finest spirits and libations y'all could've had, baby

You might realize it now, you might've realized it back then

Might realize it later

Love
