Album: Arch NemesisLook 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 ratha be (Benzino) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...
This one's for the world, my people
U think u know me? U 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 berried my men
it's when i first understood how this game was played
Either kill a nigga quick or u might get played
screen never was that big, the hood's even smaller
grew up in the projects then moved to 4 Corners
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 maybe mafia connected
all i'm gonna say he was very well respected
They called me ray dog, yeah that's Titos 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
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 ratha be (That's right) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...
[verse two]
Now fuckin with this niggaz on the other side of town
The almighty's bombs, we the hottest click around
Jewellery was heavy niggas rolled thirty thick
Artillery was heavy niggas, Jake steady on my dick
And i'm squeezin all types of guns, what evva
Mom's keeps kryin', 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
started The Source mag, allways had to be in school
It was one piece of paper then they grew in to a book
But i had my own paper, cause my block was a look
I copped i 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 se: (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 rader be (That's right) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...
[verse tree]
If money is the root of all evil then burn it
Or get upon you ass motha f***a 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'
I walk through the valley of death with no fear
I'm holding Dave down till the niggaz's outta here (believe that)
I breathe for my niggaz disiase, holding in
Exhale all the anger that i'm holding within
To many people in my life, never comin back
It's never where you from, it's only where standin' at
Got a few good niggaz, about to amunition, it's all i really need fore me to carry out a mission
If Eminem wanna squash beef tell him call me (where u at?)
ill meet him anywhere, he can bring his whole army (Bring em')
The day will soon come when the world recognize
Zino iz tha Reallest since Pac been alive
[chorus] x2
Look into my eyes and you will se: (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 rader be (I didn't chose this life) i didn't chose this life, this life chose me...(yeah yeah)
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
