Open Your Eyes |
Look how they mistreat us |
I know they wish they could lock us down and beat us |
They wanted me dead before birth when I was a fetus |
Makin' racial joke but scared to say it in my facial folk |
Cause they see danger, many years of that anger bein' broke |
Now what them folks know about that |
He’s sellin' dope to have a birthday because his mama’s on crack |
He never had a job, because he never had a chance |
They figured he wanted to rob just because he’s the black man |
They pulled my race shot out |
Makin' movies showin' people that I’m the dope dealer and high school dropout |
I call it strange, like I’m livin' in a shootin' range |
Runnin' from them coppers to hittin' the fences to playin' the dope game |
And plus that three strikes is pointed at me |
For three violent crimes, struck out with three felonies |
The president want me killed or locked up, but I ain’t dead yet |
I can’t smoke weed, but he’ll let me smoke a cigarette |
Open yo' eyes! |
(Chorus by uncredited female singer:) |
If you open up your eyes |
Look around and you will find |
Life is a precious gift to use |
Got to open up your eyes |
You’ll begin to realize |
Life doesn’t always go your way |
(Verse 2: Bart) |
They got me trapped like 'Pac, uhh, I picture my face before death |
No CPR no homies helpin' me gain my strength |
Just pumpin' blood losses, plus lookin' around for who seein' |
My main objective was obsolete from gettin' away and keep breathin' |
I’m like a cypher structure, so barely hangin' from threads |
Suckin' for breath but I’m seein' death so I take one blow to the head |
Historic Holocaust in the history books in our schools |
Like a soldier, I’m holdin' my 9, nasty wit' 2 gun wounds |
Knowin' I’m doomed, desperate, my clothing diluted in blood |
Message, makin' my mind, do the Man Upstairs got a grudge? |
But I know my time was tooken, hurt from the dirt I was doin' |
Just picture the hurt from all the dirt that purgin' this mob influence |
How could he do this? |
Killin' me dead thinkin' he was my folks |
Now I know, to open my eyes and realize once mo' |
Life has its consequences, although you believe in yo' pride |
Who died? |
Was the morning sickness of her 9-year old cryin' |
Open yo' eyes! |
(Chorus by uncredited female singer:) |
If you open up your eyes |
Look around and you will find |
Life is a precious gift to use |
Got to open up your eyes |
You’ll begin to realize |
Life doesn’t always go your way |
(Verse 3: Keak Da Sneak) |
I look you eye to eye, when it comes stare, won’t dare to blink |
For the fact they call me Sneak Attack and I react on what I think |
I can’t afford the luxury, like a star, of a negative thought |
When bustas lookin' mean-muggin' me quickly lick 'em like a 40 of malt |
Halt, when last time I hit and shot this barkin', lookin' inside the barrel |
Trigger finger itchin', flinchin' but sparkin', and it’s pitch dark in |
Cop some booze, armed and dangerous |
For catchin' a nigga, he famous |
Every busta on the street know what his name is |
Sho' ain’t my homie, pulled out a sack and planted it on me |
I tried to beat the case and still got convicted, this shit is phony |
The police on me, throughout my lifetime all I ever seen was negativity |
It’s how I work it, I bag it up, no diggity and hit the blitty |
But if my eyes closed, realize those, thangs might be chance |
I’d rather be dead broke than locked up after used to livin' fancy |
So open yo' eyes |
(Chorus by uncredited female singer:) |
If you open up your eyes |
Look around and you will find |
Life is a precious gift to use |
Got to open up your eyes |
You’ll begin to realize |
Life doesn’t always go your way |
Stay focused and don’t go astray |
Say your prayers before you lay |
