"IN YOUR EYES"

WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
I SEE HATE
I SEE I'M A JOKE
U PAY NO ATTENTION 2 THE WORDS I'VE SPOKE

WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
I SEE DISDAIN
YOU'RE SO HARDHEADED
THAT SOFT AZZ WILL BRING PAIN

WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
I SEE MY SON
SPEAKING FOOLISH THINGS
PROUDLY FROM HIS OWN TONGUE

THE EYES; THEY TELL IT ALL
AND WHEN I LOOK AT YOURS
I WONDER IF YOU'LL RECOGNIZE GOD'S CALL

I HOPE U DO
ONE DAY
IT'S NEVER MY INTENTION
2 CAUSE MY CHILD PAIN

WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
I WANT 2 SEE LOVE
HOW DO I DO THAT?
WHEN YOU'RE STUCK ON WHAT WAS

I'M NOT PERFECT
I'VE ALWAYS TOLD U THAT
BUT WHEN U LOOK BACK OVER YOUR LIFE
REALIZE IT WAS MAMA
WHO ALWAYS HAD YOUR BACK

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
