ichokas - light in your eyes lyrics

[hook]
i could see the light in your eyes x4

[verse 1]
i saw the light in your eyes and wanted you to do better
now you got the whitest of lines and i see you pursue feathers
chasing flamingos, acting like scarface, talking about “gringos”
whats your end goal? look at your sins though, i know that you been low
but i can’t pull you out the gutter, never ashamed to call you my brother
i gotta call up my mother cos right now i’m feeling like “f-ck ya”
i don’t know how to act around you while you’re chasing atlantis
look at the sea that drowns you, a goldfish swimming with mantis
you’re out of your depth, drowning in debt, surrounded by red
you can’t pay that back in drug money, i know that i sound upset
that’s cos i saw your potential side by side with your eventual demise
the devil asked you for a dance and you gave your consent, are you blind?
showing off your new rolex, what’s next? a gold tec?
a whole set of old hens gonna give me gold eggs in a moment
it took me years to plant seeds, still waiting on the fruit of my labour
you wanted to get rich quick, in the end the loot will not save you

[hook]
i could see the light in your eyes x4

[verse 2]
we were acting like brothers like michael and lincoln
breaking outta this prison to enlighten our vision
there’s light in your eyes, i can see you’re fighting inside
in spite of your pride you confide at my side
talking about depression, ’09, country’s in recession
can’t count your blessings, can’t speak out confessions
what’s the remedy when you can’t afford the therapy?
son you think too much, that’s what pappou was telling me
what’s a rolex and rings when you’ve got no next of kin?
what’s gold necks and bling next to a whole deck of kings?
i’ve got jewels on my fingers and stavros on my chest
and we’re taught its this fools’ gold that’s got us blessed
but when i step in the church i’m still left in the lurch
i was presented at birth and i’ll still be dead in a he-rs-
so what’s different? the jewels don’t mean nothing
if i leave this earth without kin, burn my green, f-ck it

[hook]
i could see the light in your eyes x4

[verse 3]
there’s nothing better than friendships that were made in the trenches
my respect is never lended, if you got it you ain’t renting
believe me, we’re ascending dreams of picket fences
we want more, i ain’t got time for pretending
sometimes i think my rapping is a lost cause
but when i plug in mu aux chord it stops thoughts
of legacy and destiny, white horses and black crows
if life’s a movie i ain’t directing, i’m in the back row
i’m in h-ll i suppose, i been selling my clothes
never selling my soul, i think that heaven is closed
my boy ain’t smelling the roses, ain’t a felon but close
push a man to the edge and you never can know
what he’ll do, stare into the abyss and it reflects in your eyes
i understand the need to be protecting your tribe
by any means necessary (by any means)
don’t lose yourself on the way to being legendary
