[00:00:00] 4 Your Eyez Only - J. Cole
[00:00:01] 词曲：Jermaine Cole
[00:00:03] Yeah
[00:00:07] For your eyes only for your eyes
[00:00:13] For your eyes only for your eyes only
[00:00:19] For your eyes
[00:00:22] For your eyes only
[00:00:24] Hey be dying on the daily
[00:00:26] It seems my dreams faded for far too long
[00:00:29] The consequences deadly
[00:00:30] Can't visualize myself as nothing but a criminal
[00:00:33] Control the block serving up rocks and stay subliminal
[00:00:36] 'Cause young is hardheaded they letting off
[00:00:40] Full of adrenaline ignorant to what death can cause
[00:00:43] Ain't no coming back family dressed in black
[00:00:45] Plus it's hot now the cops outside it's hard to flip a pack
[00:00:49] And my daughter gotta eat her mama be stressing me
[00:00:52] Like I ain't the one who put them jays on her feet
[00:00:55] Like I ain't out in the field like that
[00:00:57] I might be low for the moment but I will bounce back
[00:01:00] Despite the charges back to the wall I fight regardless
[00:01:04] Screaming f**k the law my life is lawless
[00:01:06] That's what you call it ain't got to be no psychic
[00:01:08] To see this is like the farthest thing from heaven
[00:01:11] This is hell and I don't mean that hyperbolic
[00:01:13] I try to find employment even if it's wiping toilets
[00:01:16] But these felonies be making life the hardest
[00:01:18] Resisting the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet
[00:01:21] Or run up on your yard snatch your daughter bike and pawn it
[00:01:25] That's why I write this sonnet
[00:01:26] If the pressure get too much for me to take and I break
[00:01:29] Play this tape for my daughter and let her know my life is on it
[00:01:33] For your eyes let her know my life is on it
[00:01:36] For your eyes for your eyes only
[00:01:39] For your eyes do you understand
[00:01:42] For your eyes do you understand me
[00:01:45] For your eyes do you understand
[00:01:48] For your eyes do you understand me
[00:01:51] For your eyes do you understand
[00:01:54] For your eyes do you understand me
[00:01:57] For your eyes do you understand
[00:02:01] For your eyes only
[00:02:03] You probably grown now so this song'll hit you
[00:02:04] If you're hearing this unfortunately
[00:02:06] Means that I'm no longer with you in the physical
[00:02:09] Not even sure if I believe in God but because you still alive
[00:02:13] He got me praying that the spiritual is real
[00:02:15] So I can be a part of you still my pops was killed too
[00:02:19] So I know how part of you feels
[00:02:20] Maybe you hate me maybe you miss me maybe you spite me
[00:02:24] Life goes in cycles maybe you'll date a just like me
[00:02:27] I hope not I'm tired of dope spots
[00:02:29] And fiends that smoke rocks
[00:02:31] I've seen far too many hopes rot
[00:02:33] I'm writing this because me and the devil had a dance
[00:02:36] Now I see death around the corner apologizing in advance
[00:02:39] Don't know if I ever had a chance at a glance I'm a failure
[00:02:43] Addicted to pushing paraphernalia
[00:02:45] But daddy had dreams once my eyes had a gleam once
[00:02:49] Innocence disappeared by the age of eight years
[00:02:51] My pops shot up drug related mama addicted
[00:02:54] So granny raised me in projects where thugs was hanging
[00:02:57] Blood was staining the concrete
[00:02:59] Older I loved talked like they was above
[00:03:02] Maintaining a time sheet that slow money
[00:03:05] Picked up the family business by the age of thirteen
[00:03:08] Six years later was handed sentence
[00:03:10] 'Round the same time is when you came in this world
[00:03:12] Me and your mama thinking
[00:03:14] What the f**k we naming this girl
[00:03:16] I told her Nina the prettiest name that I could think of
[00:03:19] For the prettiest thing my eyes had ever seen I was nineteen
[00:03:23] Took me two felonies to see the trap
[00:03:25] This crooked ass system set for me
[00:03:27] And now I fear it's too late for me to ever be
[00:03:30] The one that set examples that was never set for me
[00:03:34] I'm living fast but not fast enough
[00:03:36] Cause karma keeps on catching up to me
[00:03:38] And if my past becomes the death of me
[00:03:40] I hope you understand
[00:03:42] For your eyes do you understand
[00:03:45] For your eyes do you understand me
[00:03:48] For your eyes do you understand
[00:03:51] For your eyes do you understand me
[00:03:54] For your eyes do you understand
[00:03:57] For your eyes do you understand me
[00:04:00] For your eyes do you understand
[00:04:03] For your eyes only
[00:04:05] It's several ways I could've went out too many to count
[00:04:08] Was it the trigger happy crackers that the badges give clout
[00:04:12] Was it the young blasting frustrated
[00:04:13] Cause the cash running out
[00:04:15] Don't know how to act in a drought
[00:04:18] See baby girl I realized
[00:04:18] My definition of a real was skewed
[00:04:21] My views misshaped by new mixtapes
[00:04:24] That confirmed the shit I learned in the streets was true
[00:04:27] That real don't speak when they beef with you
[00:04:30] They just pull up on your street let the heat achoo
[00:04:33] And if a real hungry he gon' eat your food
[00:04:36] I was a fool spent all my time ducking school ducking cops
[00:04:40] Ducking rules hugging blocks that don't love you
[00:04:42] I pray you find a with goals and point of views
[00:04:45] Much broader than the corner if not it's gon' corner you
[00:04:48] Into a box where your son don't even know his pops
[00:04:51] And the cyclical nature of doing time continues
[00:04:54] My worst fear is one day that you come home from school
[00:04:58] And see your father face while hearing 'bout tragedy on news
[00:05:00] I got the strangest feeling your daddy gonna lose his life soon
[00:05:04] And sadly if you're listening now it must mean it's true
[00:05:07] But maybe there's a chance that it's not
[00:05:09] And this album remains locked
[00:05:11] In a hard drive like valuable jewels
[00:05:13] And I can teach you this in person
[00:05:14] Like I'm teaching you to tie your own shoes
[00:05:17] I love you and I hope to God I don't lose you
[00:05:19] For your eyes only
[00:05:20] For your eyes for your eyes only
[00:05:32] For your eyes for your eyes only
[00:05:39] For your eyes do you understand
[00:05:42] For your eyes only
[00:06:09] One day your daddy called me told me he had a funny feeling
[00:06:12] What he'd been dealing with lately he wasn't telling
[00:06:15] I tried to pick his brains still he wasn't revealing
[00:06:17] But I could feel the sense of panic in his voice
[00:06:20] And it was chilling he said
[00:06:21] Jermaine I knew you since we was children
[00:06:23] I never asked for nothing when times was hard
[00:06:25] I never had discussions with you begging you to help me
[00:06:28] I dealt with the repercussions of my actions
[00:06:31] I know you tried to steer me 'way from that shit
[00:06:33] But that shit was in my blood you know my life
[00:06:36] I know your mamma send my love
[00:06:38] In case I never get a chance to speak again
[00:06:40] I won't forget the weekends spent sleeping at your crib
[00:06:43] That's the way I wished my family lived
[00:06:45] But my granny crib was in the 'jects
[00:06:47] I had to interject like
[00:06:48] What you talking 'bout f**k is you getting at
[00:06:51] He said listen I got no time to dive into descriptions
[00:06:55] But I've been having premonitions
[00:06:57] Just call it visions from the other side
[00:06:59] I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow
[00:07:01] Like the time I'm living on is borrowed
[00:07:04] With that said the only thing I'm proud to say I was a father
[00:07:07] Write my story down and if I pass
[00:07:09] Go play it for my daughter when she ready
[00:07:11] And so I'm leaving you this record for your eyes only
[00:07:14] Don't you ever scratch or disrespect it
[00:07:16] This perspective is a real one another lost 'ville son
[00:07:19] I dedicate these words to you and all the other children
[00:07:23] Affected by the mass incarceration in this nation
[00:07:25] That sent your pops to prison when he needed education
[00:07:28] Sometimes I think that segregation would've done us better
