"Grandma's Eye's"
  by LaLa14


You know why i wanna do right
For a new life I pray at night
Damn...I hate to see the pain in my Grandma's life
It's a shame we carry guns and knives
My 3 cousin's Smoking and Drinking
While I sit by, watch, while thinking
1 cousin an alcoholic, 1 a dope head
1 addicted to the game, what if Grandma was dead
They'd have no shelter, no food
They don't see it they continue to be rude
Acting like they don't care
Complain when Grandma needs them to be there
To her this shit ain't fair
Why disrespect the one lady who gone always care
Damn...All the pain in my Grandma's eye's
Everyone tell stories, but she sees through the lies
We was talking and in her softest voice
She asked why MJ makes this choice
Drinks all the time, sells dope to wear his brother's clothes
Head ain't straight, only focused on money and hoe's
She shakes her head, why does Alyssa smoke, drink, and talk with attitude
Does what she does just to impress some dude
She use to be focused and had a goal
Now she smoke weed and learning how to roll
Looks at anthony...Damn never seen more pain
Could have played basketball/football its a shame
Has major art talent, but he chose the dope game
And when she starts to cry, sunshine turns to rain
She does what she can
But life don't stick to a plan
All i wonder is how long is she going to last
Life is moving fast
Damn...Grandma i want to apologize
For them...even if they don't realize
What their doing to you
Cheer up Grandma its ok, I'll look after them for you
I'll do what i got to do
Let the pain go, It's hurts to leave this burden on you
Wipe the tears away cause I love you
