Eyes Wide Shut

Yo the time was wasting, but we saw it as ventilation
Call it what you wanted but we just called it a day spent
Shit you couldn’t learn in the crib but was always saved with
Or saved by, so say bye and hit the pavement
Rules of engagement, don’t ever rule out the amazement
Of better dreaming from never sleeping due to a grave shift
Boats in abundance, shipments in corner containers
Locally funded, literally foreign exchanges
Know the occasion, on occasion I had to stay in
But most of the time I was outside where the play is
Difference was, I understood what all of the issues was
Same way I understood a pistol run
Such a dichotomy, all on the sides of me
Wasn’t much room left, so nothing else got to me
From John Coltrane to Danny Simmons to Richard Wright
To friends with a brick of white, nothing was outta reach
But fuck it be proud of me, this could’ve went wild left
The key to it is never leaving it where denial’s left
I knew what I was gunning for, and who was fixing my aim so when the gun go off
Shit’ll be one shot, told there’s only one top, but that the bottom got wild
space
Regardless of how many people is on that ground chase
Circling around base, opinions in the kitchen how they circling around base
Way too many cooks, but I was raised by a crook who found his way through a book
And another one and another one, and changed the way you look
At his son and at his two other sons, my brothers and me
Swear to God I put my arm up over what they could see
So may Jehovah or Allah or Buddah bless us
Or whoever else you’re calling like par can you protect us?
I zip up my Colombia jacket while my man is beeping Colombians
Like yo this shit ain’t locking at all, fuck it I’m done with them
Contracts voided over pay phones
I’m there for moral support but need to make my way home
My pops got tickets for Bring in The Noise, Bring in The Funk
And BBQs after that yo this shit is a jump
All my men’s in the front as we load up inside the Wrangler
Same one like the one I went and bought where the roof change up
And all of that do change us, could’ve been a different view
Never know the bags under your view until they stick with you
But sleep is the cousin of the death, so never sleep
My pop said I’ve been up since you was born, best believe
Best believe you’re gonn' believe it all when you get to be
And I been up since December 20th, 2017, do believe
And I been up since December 20th, 2017, do believe
And I been up since December 20th, 2017, do believe
