Look Into My Eyes

[Intro]

Look into my eyes and you will see: (My Struggle my pain)

My life my pain and the things that made me (made me who i am)

There's no other place that i would rather be (Benzino) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...

This one's for the world, my people

You think You know me? You have no idea who i am, This is my story

It's not about the magazine (no), about my baggy jeans (no) and my braidz (no) and my jewellery (ah ah), the money: no, (none of that) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me

[verse one]

It wasn't long ago when it all began

standin' in the graveyard while they buried my men

it's when i first understood how this game was played

Either kill a nigga quick or you might get played

Streets ain't never was that big, the hood's even smaller

grew up in the projects that moved the four quarters

Pop's went to prison, i knew about the system

every sunday morning, me and mom's payed a visit

He was heavy in the streets maby mafia connected

all i'm gonna say he was very well respected

They called me Ray dog, yeah that's Zino's son

I met a lot of great men for many years to come

I'm gettin' money on my block all night

Runnin' with a bunch of niggaz born to fight (Nigga!)

Boston was the first on the east to really bang out (Bang out!)

Niggaz wanted streets while them automatics rang out

[chorus]

Look into my eyes and you will see: (My life my pain)

My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)

There's no other place that i would rather be (That's right) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...

[verse two]

Now fuck em' with this niggaz on the other side of town

The allmighty spalms, we the hottest click around

Jewellery was heavy niggas rolled thirty thick

Artillery was heavy, Jake standin' on my dick

And i'm squeezin all types of guns, whateva

Mom's keeps cryin', but that's the life of thugs

And that's the life i love, i'm addicted to it

street life, real thug niggaz makin' rap music

I met Dave at the radio, he cool

startin saw his mack, allways had to be in school

It was one piece of paper then they grew into a book

But i had my own paper, cause my block mustn't look

I caught a couple of Benz, i'm fighting court cases

It was news at eleven, or in the news papers

Investigation federal, i knew it from the start

Either the jealousy and envy tore my crew apart

[chorus]

Look into my eyes and you will see: (My life my pain)

My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)

There's no other place that i would rather be (That's right) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...

[verse three]

(Here we go)

If money is the root of all evil then burn it

Or get upon you ass mothafucka and earn it

I moved to New York, It was time to make it happen

Dave is my dog and yeah Zino's still rappin' (Still Here)

I walk trough the walley of death with no fear

I'm holding Dave down till the niggaz's outta here (believe that)

I brethe for my niggaz disiase, holding in

Excell all the anger that i'm holding within

To many people in my life, never come in down (no)

It's never where you from, it's only where standin' now

Got a few good niggaz, about to amunition, it's all i really need for me to carry out a mission

If Eminem wanna squash beef tell him call me (where you at?)

Don't need him any way, he can bring his whole army (Bring em')

The day will soon come when the world recognize

Zino is the reallest since Pac 've been alive, mothafucka!

[chorus]

Look into my eyes and you will see: (My life my pain)

My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)

There's no other place that i would rather be (I didn't chose this life) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me, (yeah yeah) x2

Yeah Troy you did it on this one nigga, believe that, yeah the Arch nemesis

In the hood me and you, yeah believe that, this is my story
