Songtext zu 'Look In My Eyes (Response To Toy Soldiers)' von Benzino

[Intro]
Look into my eyes and you will se: (My Struggle my pain)
My life my pain and the things that made me (made me who i am)
There's no other place that i would rader be (Benzino) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...

This one's for the world, my people
U think u know me? U have no idea who i am, This is my story
It's not about the magazine (no), about my baggy jeans (no) and my braidz (no) and my jewellery (ah ah), the money: no, (non of that) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me

[verse one]
It wasn't long ago when it all began
standin' in the graveyard while they berried my men
it's when i first understood how this game was played
Either kill a nigga quick or u might get played
?? ain't never was that big, the hood's even smaller
grew up in the projects that moved the four quarters
Pop's went to prison, i knew about the system
every sunday morning, me and mom's payed a visit
He was heavy in the streets maby mafia connected
all i'm gonna say he was very well respected
They called me ?? dog, yeah that's Titos son
I met a lot of great men for many years to come
I'm gettin' money on my block all night
Runnin' with a bunch of niggaz born to fight, Nigga!
Boston was the first on the east to really bang out
Niggaz wanted streets while them automatics rang out
[chorus]
Look into my eyes and you will se: (My life my pain)
My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)
There's no other place that i would rader be (That's right) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...

[verse two]
Now fuck em' with this niggaz on the other side of town
The allmighty spalms, we the hottest click around
Jewellery was heavy niggas rolled thirty thick
Artillery was heavy niggas, Jake standn' on my dick
And i'm squeezin all types of guns, what evva
Mom's keeps kryin', but that's the life of thugs
And that's the life i love, i'm addicted to it
Street life, real thug niggaz makin' rap music
I met Dave at the radio, he cool
startin saw a ??, allways had to be in school
It was one piece of paper then they grew in to a book
But i had my own paper, cause my block mustn't look
I caught i couple of Benz, i'm fighting court cases
It was news at eleven, ore in the news papers
Investigation federal, i knew it from the start
Either the jealousy and envy tore my crew apart

[chorus]
Look into my eyes and you will se: (My life my pain)
My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)
There's no other place that i would rader be (That's right) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...

[verse tre]
If money is the root of all evil then burn it
Ore get upon you ass motha f***a and earn it
I moved to New York, It was time to make it happen
Dave is my dog and yeah zino's still rappin'
I walk trough the walley of death with no fear
I'm holding Dave down till the niggaz's outta here (beleve that)
I brethe fore my niggaz disiase, holding in
Excell all the anger that i'm holding within
To many people in my life, never come in down (no)
It's never where you from, it's only where standin' now
Got a few good niggaz, about to amunition, it's all i really need fore me to carry out a mission
If Eminem wanna squash beef tell him call me (where u at?)
Don't need him any way, he can bring his whole army (Bring em')
The day will soon come when the world recognize
Zino is the reallest, it's Pac to the life

[chorus] x2
Look into my eyes and you will se: (My life my pain)
My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)
There's no other place that i would rader be (I didn't chose this life) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...(yeah yeah)
Yeah Troy you did it on this one nigga, beliave that, yeah the Arch nemesis
In the hood me and you, yeah beliave that, this is my story
