Apple Of My Eye Lyrics - Raphael Saadiq

Just being somebody that the neighborhood respected 

And my mama could be proud of, was the apple of my eye 

That's all I ever wanted, just to being something man 

At that point what else can you ask for? 

Tears running out of a nigga face 

In a room full of failures I feel out of place 

Still sleeping on the floor when you deserve better 

Got you reeking through the cold even in warm weather 

I told Meek I wouldn't trust Nicki, instead of beefing with your dog you just give him some distance 

We all make mistakes, lets not be to specific 

You rather be a killer than be statistic 

An never fold no I never ran 

On my soul I'll roll like an avalanche 

I thank the lord I got some great friends 

That's why every bottle I open I say amen 

Just had seizure at the Super Bowl 

Woke up in the third quarter looking for the smoke 

If its more then a quarter million, Ill count it twice 

Poochie broke my heart shit I call it life 

An never will I call it rite 

Not perfect but I'm the one you would call at night 

Traveling the world, I'm just reppin' my city 

But rarely do I hear that this nigga done did it 

When niggas in fatigues will keep you intrigued 

Cause the loss of lifes the only thing that niggas believe 

So I pray you listen carefully 

Then I become another muthafucking casualty 

Always speak and say right 

I just never ever walk on by 

(never ever walk on by) 

You even stop and put one in the sky 

(the sky) 

You do it for the love of you and I 

(for the love of you and..)

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

Standin' on your block but you so out of place 

Uncle on the couch, momma running out of space 

Lights off so you never tend to speak much 

Go your separate ways every time the lease up 

A fat ugly nigga thought I'd never be nothing 

Another tree stump, happy with his free lunch 

Duckin' pigeons, I'm an eagle on a sunny day 

Flap my wings once a week, pray I glide safe 

I want fried chicken at my funeral 

Rolls Royces, dope boys, Sway interviews 

Everybody dying for the same things 

Cop kill a nigga don't nobody gangbang 

I'm happy Donald Trump became the president 

Because we gotta destroy, before we elevate 

Real shit, look at me inside the white house 

With a pocket full of weed inside the white house 

Dead presidents tattooed on a nigga chest 

U.S. treasury addressing me, mad at my address 

Own the biggest residential pool is the US 

Drake and Kanye can invite every bitch they ever met 

Finger fuckin' bitches in the holy water 

Then I go an tell what happened to my only daughter 

So her daddy told it to her firsthand 

Never perfect but its not just bout them purses 

Photos 

Always speak and say right 

I just never ever walk on by 

(never ever walk on by) 

You even stop and put one in the sky 

(the sky) 

You do it for the love of you and I 

(yeah) 

The streets could never teach me 

All the things I got from you 

I found myself in the wrong lane 

And I ended up in pain (Pain) 

I was strolling down a dark street 

When this girl passed me by 

She said you've always been a good friend 

(Always been a good friend) 

And you never never never let me down 

I'll just fall back never turn back 

Let it go let it go 

I'll just fall back never turn back 

Let it go let it go 

Always speak and say right 

I just never ever walk on by 

(never ever walk on by) 

You even stop and put one in the sky 

(the sky) 

You do it for the love of you and I 

(for the love of you and I)
