Look Thru My Eyes (Album Version (Edited)) Lyrics

Look Thru My Eyes - DMX

...

Look thru my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

Burning in hell, but don't deserve to be

Got niggas I don't even know that wanna murder me

Just because they've heard of me

And they know that the Dark is for real

The bark is for real, when you see that spark it'll kill

Be popping, robbing and chill, take it over there bark wit' it

From YO to Cali to Baltimore back to New York wit' it

Come through flying, up 129

Up the school street 'cause I come through mine

Bark at my dogs, get at me nigga

Get at me nigga

What the deal is, never forget what real is

The cats that used to say X is the best know he still is

Can't help but feel this, putting goosebumps on your arms

Take you there if you want but I lose chunks with the bomb

The calm before the storm

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and it's getting warm

Feel me yo

Look thru my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

Look thru my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

I can understand why y'all niggas is scared of me

And why the big dogs never wanted to play fair with me

'Cause I leave blood wherever I go, wherever I flow

Wherever I blow niggas who know I can go, feel me yo

What is it about the Dark that gets niggas where they about to spark

About to bark, take it to the heart 'cause it's real like that

Give him chills, but do I make him feel like that

Shit is real, what you don't know is gon' get ya

With the steel, what you don't know is gon' split ya

I can blaze tracks, make niggas play rats and raise stacks

Payback's a bitch, didn't you used to say that?

Play around in dirt, you get mud

'Cause you know, I can either spread love or shed blood

And bloodshed turns the mud red and real sticky

Or I can hit you from roof, make it a quicky

For real

Look thru my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

Look thru my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

I bear my soul, niggas wouldn't dare, my role

Give to nigga a heart of gold but with a hole

Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot of weight

Just like first I'm sold an eight, then told it's not an eight

But then it's out of state, and it's too late for changes to be made

That's what I get for fucking with strangers in the shade

This is it, y'all niggas got to give me a plate

For the same reason that fate, chose to give me the way

Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me

The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty

It was always him versus me, but now I gotta teach him

Personal feelings put aside, 'cause now I gotta reach him

What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him

But it seems like I've been called on to show him

So I'ma show him

And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me

I've got a good heart but this heart can get ugly

Look thru my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

Look thru my eyes, see what I see

Do as I do, be what I be

Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet

Then know why I do dirt in the street

Feel the pain, feel the joy, of a man who was never a boy

For real
