Eye for an eye
Won’t strengthen my vision
Eye for an eye
Will have me constantly living
In a state of paranoia
Cause I’ll invite those
Who want to take my eyes as well
A recipe for disaster
And a life that’s a living hell

I know better
Jesus gave me wisdom
I know better
Than to be foolish
And spent 25 years in prison
I know of the love I can be giving
I know the kids look up to me
And they mimic
What I do
What I say
And I know revenge and vеngeance
Won’t heal thе pain
I know
There exists a more peaceful way
But damn…
Be kind and they take your kindness as weakness
But damn…
There is some pride and glory
When you defeated
Your enemies and your opposition
When you let them know
“I’m really about that life”
And make them think twice
About their next decision
I know love is the answer
But revenge seems to be a natural part of my inhibition
It’s an endless cycle
It’s a vicious lifestyle
That creates heartless psychos
It’s a type of masculinity
That makes you feel proud to sport a title
It’s a mindset
That makes you not want to read the Bible
And act on your own doing
It’s a retaliation that makes you feel satisfied
For all the times they were hating and booing
I don’t want to go down this route
I don’t want to go down this path
But when they constantly come with bullshit and hate
What other way is there to feel, than to be angry and mad
The math adds up
You take an eye
They take your eye
If you feel satisfied
They won’t stop
Until they get one back for their side
It all boils down to pride
And I hope I can set mine aside
