[Intro: Jetic]
From the Eyes of a Child
[Hook: Jetic]
Flashing back, to our young demise
How much could change, as time would fly
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
Flashing back, to our young demise
The thoughts we portrayed, influence was our guide
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
[Verse 1: Jetic]
Bad were the times, we didn’t have any logic
Looking back in the days and it was early morning
I would collect my lunch money and headed straight out to school
Til’ I took a taxi heading in the opposite route
Safe to say, I was really headed down the wrong direction
If you knew me back then, I really had no direction
Two hundred percent of my actions, premeditated
Kyraxx tracks in my earphones, while I sat and waited
Made it into junction, it was a bright day
Went ahead and link up the homies right away
We hit up the plug, then we simply chill around
We talk for a while then we walk around the town
Pull up to the bar with Wray and Nephew and some weed
And some Orange Juice that I bought from Juicy Patties
It was a special class of ours on how to get high
Peer pressure following gestures of the teenage hype
Can’t blame us, we were the product of deceit
The dangers that always faced us, deceptions where we came from
Money, P****, Parties; the only thing on our mental
As stupid teens, this was our method of expression
See this was the usual, we just play some pool
And wasted half our Money on bottles and Video Poker
Right now, as I see it, they should have sent us to a boy’s home
But it didn’t matter, too caught up on joker poker
Though we knew what we-re doing didn’t even seem so logical
The adrenalin rush we got really made it worth it
As stupid teens, no place else we rather be
Cuz thinking back to back neither school was perfect
Meanwhile in class, we barely payed attention
We neither had books, notes, pens or some pencils
We’d leave them on the dorm to decrease the weight
But what some other hittas carried was fairly random
One had some Cough Syrup, another had some Jolly Ranchers
One had some soda what they doing man I always wondered
Being real with ya’ll, I didn’t know what they were mixing
But after junior lunch, it had them all sleeping
All my grades were low, I was about to get kicked
But it didn’t matter too busy getting lit
At the time, I was busy on my first mixtape
Spending all my time tryna make it a hit
Snap back to the reality, just finish some shots
Later hitting up some broads, standing at the game shop
The day was almost closing so we went our separate ways
Feeling tipsy from the drinking as I past the repairs place
Walk past the super market, made it to the taxi stand
Almost there for seven minutes, standing beside a random man
He looked at me while I was standing there waiting
Both waiting for a Southfield taxi, he sparked a conversation

[Verse 2: Jetic]
Fast forward to the present, where everything a lesson
Thinking what would I be if I didn’t get the message
Yeh my intellect right now probably rather is a miracle
Making my own lane and reaching to the pinnacle
Take something and make it better than what they give to you
Reminiscing to those days, it was barely visible
I’ve seen a couple things if you seen you could go blind
This just one happening from the eyes of a child what
[Hook: Jetic]
Flashing back, to our young demise
How much could change, as time would fly
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
Flashing back, to our young demise
The thoughts we portrayed, influence was our guide
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
It’s all happening from the eyes of a child
