| Yes-yes, today, shake-shake, hey-hey
|
| Come on, yeah-yeah, come on
|
| I’m just here to push limits
|
| Shit-scared of heights
|
| But I stay on top of the game just to say I did it
|
| Show young black kids that you can live it
|
| Free your mind with it, be proud of your pigment
|
| I wasn’t for a while
|
| Too many times vilified for being a shade different
|
| Started hating myself and all dark skin
|
| Playing myself, Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men
|
| Remember after school, train station
|
| Busta «Break Ya Neck» blasting from iPod Mini
|
| Thankful class finished
|
| So I could go and play Majora’s Mask with my little brother
|
| When cops come up and start asking me
|
| «Where you from? |
| What you up to? |
| Oh, from Moorabbin?
|
| That’s half an hour from here, not from 'round here
|
| Boy, what you selling? |
| Where’s your product?»
|
| I hadn’t even touched drugs at this point, except maybe a joint
|
| But my skin fitted the description
|
| So 'oink oink' had to be deployed
|
| Next day at school, told my friends
|
| The facts of how they treated the boy
|
| They said I’m being crazy
|
| 'Cause to them, black voice is white noise
|
| That’s the world that we’re living in
|
| We seem to forget
|
| The dark days of history, yeah
|
| And time will manifest
|
| The endless possibility, yeah
|
| Open your eyes to see
|
| The world is darker than it seems
|
| So we dreaming on (Dreaming on)
|
| Enough with the crazy, crazy talk
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| Dave Chappelle taught me
|
| The worst thing to call someone is crazy
|
| Dismissing all the pain that plagues them in one word
|
| Just to avoid confrontation with yourself
|
| We prefer to sit on a Chesterfield lounge, while microwaving
|
| A meal by McCain and watching Australian Idol contestant failing
|
| While the house that we’re in is in flames
|
| All because it’s the routine (I dunno know about that, man)
|
| So when they say, «Too deep»
|
| I say, «Product of reality, you’re too deep»
|
| 'Cause I’m just using eyes, ears and news feeds to get up to speed
|
| Shit, only those that don’t read between the lines abuse these
|
| Therefore I don’t lose sleep
|
| 'Cause I’m well aware that’s the world that we’re living in
|
| We seem to forget
|
| The dark days of history, yeah
|
| And time will manifest
|
| The endless possibility, yeah
|
| Open your eyes to see
|
| The world is darker than it seems
|
| So we dreaming on (Dreaming on)
|
| Enough with the crazy, crazy talk
|
| Open your eyes
|
| Open your eyes
|
| Open your eyes
|
| Open your eyes |
