Darius Heywood - Hillside Eyes Lyrics

From The East
Who knew you had to go through hell
To go to Yale
Black man half a milly for bail
For moving kale

It's the same song
My underground was digital
Streaming live Hot 97
During its pinnacle days
Angel eyes reflect criminal ways
You might catch a max sentence
Over minimum wage
And the rent past due
You could gamble on the corner
Even that's a crap shoot
Plus the game is rigged
Never snitch
But It's bout eliminating the risk
So you never see that 2 x 6
Life back on the Hill
We use to chill behind Nick's crib
The OGs left a trail of smoke like big rigs
Beef inherited like
Names from heritage
Niggas look at you crazy
When you start showing intelligence
Passed on the block
Still I rep
Put my flag on the block
Dudes came through strapped
And got laughed off the block
I was never scared to fight
Never did I use a gun bat or knife
And they'll never tell you
That I took flight nigga
The devils pie
Come get a slice
Niggas die to be real
Treasure your life
Seen my uncle write his will
On a piece paper
Three sentences
That tell you where the vision is

You wondering where I'm going
That's for me to know (from the east)
When you forced to live in the moment
All you can do is keep your eyes on the road
And let it roll (let it roll)
Just let it go (let it go)
All you can do is keep your eyes on the road
And let it roll (let it roll)
Just let it go (hug the road)
All you can do is keep your eyes on the road

Now what would you do
For a Complex post? (quote)
How many waiting to be saved
By the great white hope? (nope)
I'm way past fake handshakers and tastemakers
Don't fret they'll be space in the van
If you plan later
Steph Curry just signed for 40 mill a pop
And they said he wouldn't last
The moral is you need ego
But don't let your ego
Get too big for the bag
Pray
