In Your Eyes lyrics

When I look in your eyes I see me

When I look in your eyes I see me

Let me conversate to you for a minute

Yo, see...

I never was one too fond of mirrors

The fear of self was, oh, so clearer then, when I was a knee-high

Coming up to breathe life, taking these deep breaths

Climbing up these steep steps to get me to the next stage

Next page, find me

Me and you become one from two

Many levels passed, many devils wrestled

Many victories through stressful tasks

Much growing up from a too eventful past, (slow down)

Had to learn how to save my gas

Owned some Keith Sweat, making it blast

Like "game on", making the cash

Got to keep the wisdom and the history of the family's past

So we're robbing old folks and making a dash

I really love making you laugh

When you smile, I see the best of me in your eyes

When I look in your eyes I see me

When I look in your eyes I see me

Seems I fell down again

Now I just await the moment for my world to end

You know I got to get up; a lot to live for

Folks waiting in the wings, pulsating to redeem

See how much I really bring

The tables will clad us

Disable the fool, the fat, and the fables that got us to the plate

Pitching and batting, working my gums like mad

Hitchhiking the path, and biking and striking the apt with math

It'll be like...

I be opposition to those who rustle leaves

Look at my demeanor, sneeze

You up for the tussle? - Please

There's a greater power guiding my step

And ain't ashamed to admit I was preserved and kept

These are moments in time documented and recorded in rhyme

That will sit in the archives as the lives intertwine

So, mirrored images I hope you find

I hope your focus is as close as you ever get to the end

Keep an open mind, player

When I look in your eyes I see me

When I look in your eyes I see me

I ain't through yet - listen....

If I'm the greatest hit, then y'all the best of

The perfect illustration of my God's express love

I never been ashamed to ever say that I messed up

Like Usher, my confessions get raw to check love

To gain the respect of my kids indeed

From a boy to a man on bended knees

And that's the reason why I bruise them seeds

To ensure a better life than was given to me

'Cause y'all deserve that, need that

Proceed that which I leave back when I'm gone

And, when I'm gone, y'all take the throne

Lead the family on and keep righting the wrongs

Keep the word of God close, 'cause this life ain't long

Stay true to his direction, man, despite these clones

So when they look in your eyes, they see me

And beyond that they see Christ and live that life

When I look in your eyes I see me

When I look in your eyes I see me

When I look in your eyes I see me

When I look in your eyes I see me
