Eyes Are The Soul Lyrics - Singles - Mc Lyte

He knows he's leaving, not much time left 

Holding on to his very last breath 

I saw him last week, nervous and uptight 

Losing sleep, stays up all night 

Wishin he woulda used his mind and not rushed 

to push in the bush but took his time 

to get to know the girl he slapped skins with 

shared needles with 

Wish he could go back, change the direction 

But now he's got the infection 

I spoke to him, gave him inspired words 

I'm sure he's heard 

live by the sword, die by the sword 

What's left, pray to the oh Lord 

You can deny but the truth will unfold 

because the eyes are the soul 

Eyes are the soul.. 

Eyes are the soul.. 

I look into his eyes, but he's so high 

from the crack, he thinks that he can fly 

He has problems he doesn't like solving 

Takes one hit, and thinks the world stops revolving 

19, his eyes full of tears 

He hasn't smiled at least for a year 

His mom is gone cause he was high one night 

while they killed her, because of the crack pipe 

He's wanted by the law 

because he's robbed at least three grocery stores 

He's lost, all control 

Take a look, eyes are the soul 

Eyes are the soul.. 

Eyes are the soul.. 

Eyes are the soul.. 

I look into her eyes, she's so young 

but I know, where she's comin from 

I've watched her grow, little girl down the street 

White shirts and skirts with pleats 

She cried, fear in her voice 

Not knowing, she had a choice 

Oh so sad, oh so lonely 

If she knew that she's not the only 

one in school that didn't use the caution 

Facin, raisin a baby or abortion 

Her mother said she had to leave 

Who wants to be where a baby is not received 

No ultimatum, she's goin to the G.Y.N. 

to put it to an end 

She's learned a lesson I suppose 

I can tell, eyes are the soul 

Eyes are the soul.. 

Eyes are the soul.. 

Eyes are the soul..
