Von Graves - Tunnel Vision Lyrics




Uh
Just 'cause a nigga be smiling don't make him honest
I graduated from college and with no honors or accolades
But it's brothers lying in graves and I made it into my twenties, survived it and out of lineups
Ain't ever busted, some niggas I loved and trusted got caught
But that happens when opportunities come to brothers with nothing
My vision and energy have me overlooking deceit when defeatist
Don't try and win they just want to see you in crutches
So lesson learned, I got it and left the city
And placed no blame on some niggas not coming with me
Still showing love and support, if they don't feel me then f*ck them
Just let them hear this and play it back out of pity
You try to plea that your different people don't listen
You get offended they'll try and tell you your tripping
Got pallbearers for Paul Meara's who slipping and bloggers
Who gatekeeping a culture they're trying to fit in
You got to prove you got the juice like every f*cking year
The ones who doubt you come around you once you make it big
And tell you how they "always knew that you was next, Nigga"
You could've fooled me, if you knew you should've said it then
It wouldn't matter regardless they finna witness
How college ain't really change me still grinding like I ain't finish
Surrounded by lots of strangers and women who ain't no angels
Korean chick think she Yoko except she's good for my business
I'm hardly Marley, a genius like Lennon but I ain't Lenin
'Cause I ain't finished, this the beginning
I'm tired of spending
No, not the money but the time it takes to get it
'Cause when your privileged with two parents your boys in the hood will have you embarrassed
If you ain't fatherless or a product of broken marriage
And white folks will look at you like you ain't black enough
Pushing your mama's Civic and parking next to their Acuras
I treat the women like my music, I don't f*ck around
Been on the rise but this time it's wise to buckle down
And focus on the future while these other niggas stuck on now
Taste my success, wipe my lips and pass the cup around
To the ones who been down with me from the start
Give investors the business and give my lady my heart
But somehow still end up in pieces I tend to trust her a lot
That happens when raised by women and often missing your Pops
But military enlisting created distance
I was a bastard and glad he came out them trenches
'Cause Granny was like my father, my mama was like my sister
Uncles were older brothers, cousins were younger siblings
A house full, I slept on that floor and waited for Christmas
Sharing my gifts like my cousins copied my wishlist
But I had wisdom, for instance, I understood that we were leaving the hood
When my daddy came home for good
