D Flowers with The FADER:
‘Sweat in My Eyes’ represents the passion, perseverance and pain I had to build inside of me to see my dreams come to reality, now that I’ve seen a glimpse of what we can be…It’s s...
[Intro]
Yeah
I swear this shit just been so real lately
I'm in the booth with sweat in my eyes as we speak, nigga
Yeah
Damn, this shit crazy
But make no mistake
Yeah, my whole hood love me
I just wanna make 'em proud of me at this point
Yeah
[Verse]
Sometimes I be like, "Fuck a nigga, I ain't got no homies"
I just been thuggin' on the daily, hustlin' by my lonely
Niggas was lookin' at me crazy when I was out here hungry
Now when they come and ask for favors, I ain't got no money
Nowadays these niggas don't need cable, they wanna watch some money
And count your money, and talk to other niggas about your money
You gotta know how that shit go when you be pilin' honeys
And when you broke as a junkie and like a lotta shit funny
I ain’t on the top yet, I can’t stop yet, I gotta keep comin’
I want that niggas thinkin’ that I hit the lottery money
And when them bitches ain’t got faith, you just gotta keep stuntin’
‘Cause when we walk inside the function, it soon to be jumpin’
The way he hoppin’ out that foreign, it gotta be comfy
I want that “I’ma make the whole hood proud of me” money
Are you proud of me, mama?
Are you proud of me, mama?
So I ain’t make the honor roll
And I ain’t graduate, but I been on a roll
I made a bag today, I got it on my own, yeah
No, I just had to say, “We did this on our own”, yeah
Since we was kids, we been so far away from home
Jumped off that porch, I didn’t even know we was gon’ be known
And can somebody get Obama on the phone
‘Cause my lil’ brother got a million dollar bond
I’m with double 0-7, I ain’t talk with James Bond
And for my niggas trappin’ out of Acres Homes
Tryna write [?] Jerome
Remember eatin’ chicken ‘til I damn near bit the bone
[?] got that bitch, you know I got you, right or wrong
My nigga, forever ride wit’ ‘em
And I swear to God, lately I been in my feelings
Tryna keep these hoes out my business
Can’t wait to say that I did it
When I go get that Bentley, I’ma give that bitch to 860
And that’s on my brudda ’nem
‘Cause you took 12 from me
Middle finger to the 12 from me
Promise I be movin’ carefully
Givin’ the boof the best of me, my family the rest of me
You know we be in these streets like Sesame
When these niggas envy me, it better me
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
[Outro]
Damn, let me let the beat breath, damn
Yeah, I know you want me baby, but you don’t need me
And these niggas be feelin’ like I make this shit look easy, huh
But I swear it really ain’t
I done lost a lot of money to the streets, nigga
Not ‘til baby
Nah, literally
And to my niggas, all I got for you is faith
A couple of y’all been supportin’ me
But I swear to God, we still goin’
Uh
Naturally, you don’t forget that baby
Naturally, yeah
