Eye to Eye
Don't see eye to eye, no we don't see eye to eye, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, yeah
I play ball like a prospect
They still look at me like a suspect
Look at me they see conflict
Look at me they think combat
Got a contract off a Compaq
Got a contract off my concepts
Look at me with such contempt
Squint like they need contacts
See me, they see the wrong path
Stare down they're scared now
Officer they wanna call now
In the park now in the dark now
They watch the way I walk now
Don't really wanna talk now
Wanna see me on lockdown
Yeah
Thank God I made it home today
If I walked another block
Mighta gotten blown away
I don't think I'd be surprised
These things happen every day
Nowadays eye for an eye
I don't know just what to say, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, no we don't see eye to eye, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, no we don't see eye to eye, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, no we don't see eye to eye, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, yeah
I worked all my life for this tried to fit in
Tried to get in where I fit in 'cause the skin I'm in
Got two minds that I live with, double consciousness
Wear a big grin on the outside but it's pain within
Hope things start getting better when the change begins
Both sides stay under pressure but we live different
Thin line between the victim and the witness
I feel it from a distance
Feeling defenseless
Damn
Thank God I made it home today
If I walked another block
Mighta gotten blown away
I don't think I'd be surprised
These things happen every day
Nowadays eye for an eye
I don't know just what to say, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, no we don't see eye to eye, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, no we don't see eye to eye, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, no we don't see eye to eye, yeah
Don't see eye to eye, yeah
