Benny Banks – Eye for an Eye

Eye for an Eye – Benny Banks Lyrics Letra:
Who can I trust, i can’t feel no love,
I’m just feeling fucked up, I took a L that’s tough luck,
rather sell than touch drugs ,needed help but none come,
to only say I felt numbs an understatement by a tonne

Weighing up my options, feeling like I’m boxed in ,
Weaving and I’m bobbing, while everybody’s watching,
Failure always knocking, even if we take it into stoppage
I bring something off the bench and get it popping!

Weight up on my shoulders that I carried like a man,
I grew up in a broken home my mummy like my my dad,
All I know is pain man I can’t fumble on no bag,
Listen even if I love you, do me wrong I do you bad,

I burn bridges and I turn tables,
I found a way to make it happen when we weren’t able,
And I thank god cos I learned lessons when I weren’t grateful,
Yeah I got married to them streets but i remain faithful,

You ever had a blessing in disguise?
I lost friends I lost money I done nearly lost my mind,
Had me searching everywhere but couldn’t to find no time,
I’m still out here everyday they couldn’t keep me my grind you know,

Sometimes you gotta read between the lines,
If you couldn’t do time you shouldn’t entertain the crime,
When the blind lead the blind it didn’t lead them to no light,
I ain’t sharing out a slice, I teach you how to bake a pie lets get it,

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will,
Remember when they used to tell me that i never will,
And i done things that I ain’t proud of just to pay my bills,
And i’ve seen brothers lose it all while they was chasing girls,

For you change the world you need to change yourself,
Before you pray for wealth you need to pray for health,
My life like a movie and I play myself,
I’m still staring up at heaven, I remained in hell,

I’ve always made bad decisions when it came to women,
I tried to make her queen bee but she just left me stinging,
Tell a bitch plenty fishes, you ain’t any different,
It’s all smoke and mirrors, every hero needs a villain,

Shit… I used to be your only fan,
Now you selling pussy pics on only fans,
Out of everything I taught you, didn’t teach you that,
Cos your behaviours mad, I could never take you back,

What example am I setting to my daughter, if her daddy date a porn star?
Probably think I found you on the corner,
Got me feeling like a prick for getting caught up,
You can’t drown me if my head above the water, I know lets go,

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,
Truth in the booth, unless you’re winning they ain’t rooting for you,
I say my brain black and blue, looking battered and bruised,
But I still got the flame burning while I carry it through,

Its who, Big banks! I effortlessly stand out,
Get it by myself and I ain’t ever took no hand outs,
I stand ground, ain’t no man gone make me stand down,
Mouths to feed I ain’t trying let my fam down!

Tired and I’m ran down, tryna put some bandz down,
Stay poor or run these streets like I was Mashtown,
Check my background, some shit I couldn’t act out!
I can not wait until they let my brother jack out,

Rest in peace Jermaine, and rest in peace to John Mclane
You forever on my brain, I’m lighting up a paper plane
Tryna puff away the strain, no umbrella in this rain,
Rest in peace to Black the Ripper, yeah my brother made a change (RIP)

The pain running through my veins is hard to explain,
Lock me up but you still can’t refrain my brain,
I’ve been sent by god to come and change the game,
I want money fuck the fame, I stay underground like trains, (Black The Ripper)

And I still say it with my chest, you’re now rocking with best,
Until rapping pay I cheque, I still jugg and I finesse ,
Ain’t got no time to take a rest, you think I’m out here to impress
I wouldn’t hold your fucking breath

I ain’t nothing like the rest, I been cursed and I been blessed
And now Im working with what’s left, its time to put it to the test,
Time flies got me feeling like there’s hardly any left, shit
I don’t even know what’s really coming next,

I’m just a product of my environment, hustle for retirement,
life been getting tiring, I’m nowhere near retiring,
You’re either selling dreams or you’re buying em
Benny I got demons and i’m fighting them,

You make your bed……
