Open Your Eyes

This is for all my homeboys lost in the storm.
For wherever the carcass is, there will be eagles gathered together.

What happened to us.
We lost our faith in this time we spent.
It's been a whole year already you know what time it is.
You thought we was lost.
took a break the game is falling off.
The major labels either corrupt or turned competely soft.
That's why its hard for us to make a change,
the publics got us feeding off of materialistic things.
All I ever wanted was to hear my name,
but nowadays it's getting easy to say about anything.
I lost my cousin someone that i grew up with a year ago.
Came home in a mental state his mama didnt know.
Feelings to the streets and couldn't make his ends
meet so he felt his lil brothers and his mother had to eat.
No father figure, problems start to roam inside a nigga.
Nobody to look up to turns an angel to a sinner.
I miss you to my heart you were the one that had it all.
It's sad to know somebody took the fall.
But tell me is it me they should listen to (when times get hard).
When is the glory of the worst taken (way to far.
) The silent pressure of the lesser is (impressive for the feeling.
) Now we waiting in the sky (with our hands to the ceiling.
) Saying Amen! (the lord brought has me today.
) to see my blessings in disguise come and (take me away.
) this is your choice. (open your eyes and feel the voice.)
Lord forgive me for my rude awakening.
I was angry at myself the devil has forsaken thee.
And i know it sounds like i'm living so ungracefully.
but basically i'm just a lonely man
who has to eat his words blatantly.
Patience wasn't on my side when the sun went down.
I translated it will come to it's gone come right now.
And everytime i get a glimpse of what it could've been
should've been would've been if i was just as good as them.
I knew it was with me all along but i never waited.
I thought something instant would come first before i meditate it.
Now i'm upset, only if i was just as restless as i am.
I would be one step closer to thinking above the rim.
Now I put myself aside.
I'm not the perfect man alive.
Lost my blood sweat and tears to this homicide.
I might be next if they don't try to take another.
Somebody tell me when can we live, to see this world together?
Tell me is it me they should listen to (when times get hard).
When is the glory of the worst taken (way to far)
The silent pressure of the lesser is (impressive for the feeling)
Now we waiting in the sky (with our hands to the ceiling.
Saying Amen! (the lord brought has me today.
To see my blessings in disguise come and (take me away)
This is your choice. (open your eyes and feel the voice.)
The world is losing.
Talents being wasted on the fame.
where's the credibility standing to play the same game.
A new generation just trying to maintain.
What's the holy ghost doing out of range.
We looking like we can't communicate face to face or stay in shape.
All this dark chemistry without a means to escape.
I let the bully speak his piece before he raises his hand.
And turn back with all my pride still advanced.
The game is now a circus tent for sideshows, and talentless dummies.
Feel so insightful to the future yet the whole time bluffing.
What's the word around town bet there were no discussions.
The best to ever do it period, is out of the question.
I know it's money to be made and success is getting paid.
Dreams are worth more than money it's not the same if crime pays.
So the message of today, is party and drinking.
And all the morals in reality turn into gang banging.
Is the woman of your dreams really woman of choice?
You wanna save that woman from something she's trained to ignore.
The children learning from a man whose had his strikes all written.
The more you teach em off a path the road of guidance is missing.
As i separate my woes from my strengths, let's think about it.
Hows the universe to look if we can't take the pain without it.
Wanna change the game and run but I doubt it.
In due time, cause the Lord is always listening to stay on your grind.
Open Your Eyes.
And tell me is it me...
Tell me is it me they should listen to (when times get hard).
When is the glory of the worst taken (way to far)
The silent pressure of the lesser is (impressive for the feeling)
Now we waiting in the sky (with our hands to the ceiling)
Saying Amen! (the lord brought has me today)
To see my blessings in disguise come and (take me away.
this is your choice. (open your eyes and feel the voice.)
