[Intro]

People are dead

(People are dead. Dead.)

That's what I said

The blind must be led

The hungry must be fed

'ey yo, you know

I'm looking through our whole despair

Over the years

Nobody cares

Take a look in my house

Would you live in there?

'ey yo, you know

Look at my shoes

Can you see my toes?

But that's how the struggle goes

Nobody knows

[Chorus]

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

Can you feel my pain?

Am I your enemy?

Give us a better way

Things are really bad

The only friend I know

Is this gun I have

Listen to my voice

This is not a threat

Now you see the .9

Are you worried yet?

You've been talking 'bout

You want the war to cease

But when you show us hope

Then we will show you peace

[Verse 1]

Look into my mind

Can you see the wealth?

Can you tell that I

Wanna help myself?

But if it happen that

I stick you for your ring

Don't be mad at me

It's a survival ting

Look into my heart

I can feel your fear

Take another look

Can you hold my stare?

Why are you afraid

Of my younger face?

Or is it this thing

Bulging in my waist?

[Chorus]

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

Can you feel my pain?

Am I your enemy?

Give us a better way

Things are really bad

The only friend I know

Is this gun I have

Listen to my voice

This is not a threat

Now you see the .9

Are you worried yet?

You've been talking 'bout

You want the war to cease

But when you show us hope

Then we will show you peace

[Verse 2]

Look into my life

Can you see my kids?

And let me ask you this

You know what hungry is?

Well, in this part of town

Survival is my will

For you to stay alive

You've got to rob and kill

Look into my house

Would you live in there?

Look me in the eyes

And tell me that you care

Well I've made up my mind

To end up in the morgue

Right now I rather die

'Cause man a live like dog

[Verse 3]

Look down on my shoes

Can you see my toes?

The struggle that we live

Nobody really knows

Stop and ask yourself

Would you live like that?

And if you had to then

You would a-buss gunshot

Look into the schools

Tell me how you feel

You want the kids to learn

Without a proper meal?

Den what you have in place

To keep them out of wrong?

If they drop out of school

Dem a go bus dem gun

[Chorus]

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

Can you feel my pain?

Am I your enemy?

Give us a better way

Things are really bad

The only friend I know

Is this gun I have

Listen to my voice

This is not a threat

Now you see the .9

Are you worried yet?

You've been talking 'bout

You want the war to cease

But when you show us hope

Then we will show you peace

[Verse 4]

Look into my mind

Can you see the wealth?

Can you tell that I

Wanna help myself?

But if it happen that

I stick you for your ring

Don't be mad at me

It's a survival ting

Look into my heart

I can feel your fear

Take another look

Can you hold my stare?

Why are you afraid

Of my hungry face?

Or is it this thing

Bulging in my waist?

[Verse 5]

Look into my life

Can you see my kids?

And let me ask you this

You know what hungry is?

Well in this part of town

Survival is my will

For you to stay alive

You've got to rob and kill

Look into my house

Would you live in there?

Look me in the eyes

And tell me that you care

Well I've made up my mind

To end up in the morgue

Right now I rather die

'Cause man a live like dog

[Chorus]

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

Can you feel my pain?

Am I your enemy?

Give us a better way

Things are really bad
