Lil Durk Lion Eyes

Lil Durk has been having himself a phenomenal year from a musical standpoint and with every new release, fans find themselves asking for even more. The artist has been through a lot and he always puts that pain into his music. On Friday, Lil Durk surprised his fans with an emotional-sounding song called “Lion Eyes,” which speaks to the trials and tribulations that one would go through if they lived the gang lifestyle.

The song has some dark piano keys all while Durk gives us some song vocals laced in autotune. Throughout the song, Lil Durk is talking about how gang life promotes a veil of machismo that oftentimes manifests itself in insecurity. It’s clear that Durk had a lot to get off his chest, and fans will certainly appreciate the emotional honesty here.

Lyrics

[Verse]
You off them drugs, you think you macho, you gon’ slide tonight
I know you will, you ain’t gon’ kill if someone die tonight
Off these drugs with all my niggas, that’s the vibe tonight
If you gon’ claim what bro’nem claim, you gotta provide ’em right
Right now, if he caught a case, would you have him right?
I done got so big, I can’t enjoy my private life
They say I’m crazy but I ain’t never show up at a candlelight
But I’m like JJ with this gun, this shit like a dynamite
Got my first pound, I felt like Pablo
I had one gun with two shells in it, I was macho
Did Rolling Loud inside a orange bubble Milano
First rapper from Chicago drinkin’ lean in Roscoe’s
If I fly you out to Atlanta, shake that ass and toss it up
I got my grill cleaned a couple days ago, they say I floss too much
I know how it feel to lose it all because I lost too much
Got in that room and told it all, I knew ’cause you talk too much
‘Cause everything that shine like diamonds ain’t no diamonds
A lot of people claim they real, they don’t be lyin’
I be takin’ the smallest drugs, I’m feelin’ giant
The way I’m mixin’ pop and lean, I’m passin’ science
The one that claim I can’t be quiet, she triflin’
Keep my mind clear ’cause I just say it, don’t write it
I got the eye of a lion and the heart of a tiger
Dropped “Made It Out,” I had the trenches all on fire
We really bang bros, how the fuck we did Mariah
Ain’t do too much when Fredo died, we torched them lighters
I missed the one’s that’s now deceased that I knew since the diapers
I know some niggas play with guns but known for the fightin’
You try to flame up weed on jets, you gotta watch the pilots
Wakin’ up to different sirens, I really got the heart of tigers
