Yamin Semali (AmDex, BMI) - Big Eyes (Ode to Tracee Ross) lyrics

Yo, just want to be real Know what I mean I just want to say I came a long way For real, like I came a long way [Verse 1] Feeling like I'm a 30 year old, 30 year old man With a baby face My dick ain't fell off yet Now that's amazing grace All this bad I never made a cake No ones in the oven Nobodies husband I guess we just afraid to bake Microwave mentality, instinct gratification My ADD is in HD so f** masterin' patience We so quick to choose any path Faster than waitin' Take us to the past so we could laugh with he ancients So why the hell we so anxious just to languish some anguish Be careful what you're asking for if your aim's to be famous Local celebrity, everybody know what your name is And who you currently datin' And who you penetratin' My reputation seems to be proceeding me It seems to be standard procedure just to love 'em and leave 'em so leisurely If I could make her say "I can't", I can But what kind of man wants that all so easily I got game like Gandhi in the observatory The sun see many planets, but where the earth before me Perhaps this is purgatory where I earn her glory Cause so far, I can't get farther from a perfect story And it's not like I really need new p**y But I be living on the edge so if you push me I gotta fly or either fall for another So be careful not to make it too hard for a brotha Word up [Hook] I heard you can't stop, but you had a bite But my eyes are too big for my appetite And I might want a midnight snack tonight But my eyes are too big for my appetite I swear I had them on Blacks and Whites But my eyes are too big for my appetite But I really need to chill and just have a wife But my eyes are too big for my appetite [Verse 2] My homies felt the need to testify I guess I had it on his heart, so he just let it fly He left his girl for him because she had a jealous eye Spreading lies, Going through his texts like the FBI Then she found out she had an STI A mutual friend found a bottle of [?] she hide He got tested, turns out she ain't infect my guy But how she claim to love him but let his health be jeopardized It ain't love if you gotta throw respect aside Just to spread your thighs Otherwise it's access denied If he infected her she would've been the devil's bride Sleeping with the enemy, now how is that for selfish pride They had him praying for forgiveness for my indiscretion Dissecting hidden lesson with my imperfections Nowadays you gotta ask these n***as many questions Cause s** in the wrong hands could be a k**er weapon Some people live lives polyamorous I wonder if I stopped and asked "Can my body handle this?" It probably cancelled why you chancin' it Maybe you should fall back a bit, even if you ain't abstinent Cause a lot of folks are straight banned for it But you can't be mad 'cuase sh**, you still had a hand in it It's just that so many of us got that shallowness But the bright side is no one had a [?] [Bridge] 2x She's got bows, with arrows Too many hoes, with pharaohs Like a rose, with no petals Got toes, [?] [Hook] I heard you can't stop, but you had a bite But my eyes are too big for my appetite And I might want a midnight snack tonight But my eyes are too big for my appetite I swear I had them on Blacks and Whites But my eyes are too big for my appetite But I really need to chill and just have a wife But my eyes are too big for my appetite [Verse 3] 30 years of Fatherless youth... 30 years of Fatherless youth and we think this doesn't have an effect, a traumatic effect on relationships and how we treat one another You know, Mother-Father relationships When the house is broken, the heart is broken And we go on looking for love and happiness through other people when we cannot find love and happiness within self I would say a man who looks for happiness from a woman is a fool Because happiness, is a contract for self I would say a man who looks for happiness in a woman is a fool Because happiness is a contract for self A man does not look towards his woman for happiness, a man looks towards his woman for peace A piece of mind is the greatest thing a woman could other a man And undivided attention is the greatest thing a man could offer a woman I said undivided attention is the greatest thing a man could offer a woman Love is self first, and if you cannot find a way to love yourself, you can never find a way to love others Remember that Love is love, love is love
