Eyes Of A Child Lyrics - Andre Nickatina

~EQUIPTO~ 

WHEN I WAS LIL A CHILD JUST GOIN TA BEAT 

WE WAS PLAYIN FOOTBALL IN THA MIDDLE OF THE STREET 

I WAS LIKE MIKE ROSHEER 

HAD THE COAST CLEAR 

I RUN AROUND AND FEEL CLOWNED WIT NO FEAR 

IM INNOCENT SHOWIN NO LOVE 

TEN YEARS OLD EXPOSED TO DRUGS 

SWEPT UNDER THA RUG WERE BASEBALL CARDS AND DIRT BIKES 

AS YOUNG AS I WAS I HAD TO LEARN LIFE 

ALL ALONG EVERYTHING FOR ME WAS AN EXPERIENCE 

SIDE TRACKED NEVER TAKING ANYTHING SERIOUS (never) 

A LIL HOMIE JUST WANNA RUN FREE 

LIVE LIFE AS LONG AS HE COULD SEE 

~ANDRE~ 

THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD 

I SEE MY OWN MOTHER GET WILD 

AND FOR ME SHE START A WHOLE CROWD 

MY REPORT CARD FILE 

D'S AND F'S ALL THE TIME 

HUSTLE ON MY CHILDHOOD MIND 

THROUGH THE EYES OF A BOY 

I WANT TO CATCH SANTA CLAUS CREEP 

AND SCARE HIM WHEN HE THOUGHT I WAS SLEEP 

SO YOUNG IN THE HEART 

I WANTED TO BE BILLY RAY VALENTINE 

COMIN WITH THA FLY LINES 

FOR THA LADIS ALL THA TIME 

FILLED WITH HOPE 

THEY ASKED ME DID I LIKE BOATS 

GOT SEASICK AND SAID NO 

FROM THA HEART OF A KID 

I ACTED JUST LIKE ALI WE AINT FRIENDS 

IM BURNIN THAT BRIDGE 

THATS HOW IT IS 

~EQUIPTO~ 

AT SCHOOL THE CONS SPORT 14TH AND NEW JORDANS 

SPORTIN 501'S THE CREASE WAS IMPORTANT 

IT'S ALL IN THE DAY PAY THE PRINCIPLE A VISIT 

I NEVER COULD PASS CUT CLASS LIKE SCISSORS 

ON THA PHONE 'cause IM ALL THAT 

ROAM THA HALLS FLASH MY FAKE HALL PASS 

I CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING CLOWN THE TEACHERS 

OR MAKE A NEW ENEMY STEP ON SNEAKERS 

~ANDRE~ 

THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD 

I DONT UNDERSTAND THE WORD NO 

I DONT UNDERSTAND STOP 

I JUST UNDERSTAND GO 

AS A CHILD 

I USED TO SEE LIL CRACK VOWELS 

AND NIGGAZ SAYIN HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW 

HAIR TO THE SKY 

WHAT YOU SAYIN FREAK IM FLY 

WEARIN BASKETBALL SHORTS OVERSIZED IN THE EYES OF A BOY 

DRUG DEALERS REALLY DONT STRUGGLES 

PLAYAS GO TO JAIL AND GET MUSCLE 

SLIDE DOWN THA POLE 

IF I COULD BE A FIRE MAN 

YOU KNOW CURSIN LIKE A DEVIL IN THA CHOIR BAND 

NO DESIRE MAN JUSTA CARE FREE BOY 

THROWIN FITS IF I DONT GET A TOY 

IN THA EYES OF A CHILD 

CARTOON IS JUST LIKE JESUS 

IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THIS 

MAN YOU SHOULD SEE THIS 

AS A CHILD A KID IS A PAL 

AND YOU PUT EM IN YOU MEMORY FOWL FOR RIGHT NOW!
