[00:12.91]if your eyes are the window to your soul

[00:50.43]
[00:51.79]Staring back into mine
[00:54.98]
[00:56.15]she was a beautiful rose
[00:58.06]from the concrete and heat she grows
[01:00.78]in the dark room her life was exposed
[01:03.50]her picture of men, we walk on all fours
[01:06.07]
[01:07.51]heart opened and heart closed
[01:09.15]
[01:09.85]every now and then she sparkles
[01:12.76]you can tell she was hurt by the words that she chose
[01:16.00]i'm thinking like lauryn, a rose is still a rose
[01:18.91]even when the door close, there grows a new one
[01:21.48]i told her it's some good men, she asked me if i knew one
[01:24.12]her daddy left a hole because she never really knew him
[01:27.09]ok sometimes from commitment, we do them
[01:29.72]rocking lou vuitton, said she focused on the christian
[01:32.71]i'm speaking to her trying to enhance her vision
[01:35.61]but not to be married with kids she was wishing
[01:37.80]
[01:38.33]Shhh, 'til your soul just listen

[02:20.05]
[02:21.08]Staring back into mine
[02:24.16]
[02:25.29]she said daddy take me ice-skating
[02:27.13]
[02:27.84]looking at the rear-view, life's waiting for her

[02:58.83]
[02:59.52]"c'mon dad, i'm too old for the back seat
[03:02.26]can you come and get me, are you coming to my track meet?"
[03:05.05]as she begins the race of life and love i told her
[03:07.51]"i can't run it for ya, but god know's i'mma coach ya"
[03:11.04]
