Blind
Looked myself in the eyes
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
"Yea, you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
"Yea, you better see the signs"
Life is like a movie turn the earth into a stage
But nowadays the stage is lookin' a little grey
Heroes mergin' with the villains the world's full of guns to spray
And people that will judge you if you black or you gay
I don't get it they kill children for resistin'
When in the first place the had no reason for resistance
There's menace in they vision, it's clear to see hate persistin'
They just wanna see people locked up in a prison
Uh, so I think I gotta ask
As a nation how long are we gonna let this last?
How long's it gonna take until we finally look past?
Judgin' others on appearance instead of on how they act
It's sad I'm white and I can't even be proud
'Cause of all the time my race put another race down
Every time I see republicans I flash a fake smile
While on the inside knowin' that they turnin' vile
Looked myself in the eyes
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
"Yea, you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
"Yea, you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
Yea, you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
"Yea, you better see the signs"
The kids a modern controversy can't nobody pin 'em down
They keep asking where I been, boy I've been around
Got kicked out of my house and even moved towns
Now my brains rottin' away while I'm smokin' down an ounce
Mental health's a problem that my country don't wanna solve
They care more about oil and mass-producing their bombs
They don't give a shit about the kids without a mom
Or a dad that can go into the back and toss a ball
Or kids that wanna blow their fuckin' brains onto the wall
We got a million fuckin' issues when the hell's it gonna stop?
I've been poppin' acid to make the pain dissolve
But I think a better option would be grippin' on a Glock
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
"Yea, you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Said, "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes"
"Yea, you better see the signs"
Life is like a movie turn the earth into a stage
But nowadays the stage is lookin' a little grey
Heroes mergin' with the villains the world's full of guns to spray
And people that will judge you if you black or you gay
