the immortal 8n9 - open your eyes lyrics
intro:
it’s a cold world out there… (so cold 4x’s)
and y’all think this is fair!? (tell me how 4x’s)
what is wrong wit your mind 2x’s(i don’t get it)
you’re slaving away to make somebody else wealthy…(whyyy!?)
open your eyes!!!
verse 1:
look!
i’m tryna make something of myself, becuz i’m tired of just wastin away
yeah i’m gifted, but i need to make a million today
because i’m tired of struggling and my people fading away
homes crumblin’ wit minimal help from the local government
not because they don’t care because no money is coming in
to chester, except for the stadium and casino
if i had a million dollars i would rob’em both
and i ain’t getting on a plane or boat cuz i ain’t leavin’
i’m hittin’ da streets and givin’ the money to my people
equal!.. is all we ever wanted to be
but you kept oppressin’ us now we fight for superiority
tried to silence us by k!lling dr. martin luther king
malcom x, emmitt till, and the reverend george lee
medgar evers, william edwards jr, john earl reese
jimmie lee jackson, lamar smith, herbert lee
louis allen, charles eddie moore, henry dee
andrew goodman, michael schwerner, james earl chayney
corporal roman ducksworth jr., willie brewster
benjamin brown, samuel leaman young jr
can’t forget about denise mcnair, addy mae collins
cynthia wesley, and carol robertson
judging from your history your equality isn’t fair
don’t believe it look what happened to virgil lamar ware!
thirteen ridin his bike you ended his life
still think that the way that my people livin’ is right
look up ben chester white, warlest jackson
they k!llin us left-n-right y’all we must take action
the cowards say, “that’s the past and it’s different today”
tell me how cuz i’m hurt from what happened to freddie gray
they covered up kenneka jenkins by making it look fake
and all you did for sandra bland was a single day of rage!
are you crazy! trayvon martin was seventeen!
tamir rice was twelve when murdered by the police!
rekia boyd shot by a cop for no reason
laquan mcdonald was on the road to achievement!
eric garner was minding his own business when
a cop choked him to death in front of witnesses
so the only difference between the past and the present
is the tolerance because nowadays you all accept it
they’re using access a weapon to k!ll ourselves
so they can focus on k!lling the white people who helped
and the media’s twisting it to influence us to be racist
cuz 52% of their victims are caucasian!
it’s not about race it’s really about control
and gaining power over your mind, body, and soul
so don’t listen to sly fox on the idiot box
they’re distracting you from the plot while making your brain rot
better stop! and start punishing cops, make an example
show’em that abuse of authority will be handled
with extreme aggression and we will teach’em a lesson
to show’em our unity is the most powerful weapon
that the world has ever seen. yes we fighting for peace
but it’s still a fight that’s why they’re k!lling us in the streets
tryna pacify our people and make us afraid to speak
so they can bring back the physical portions of slavery
wakeup!, if you don’t see it, it’s right in front of your eyes
stop believing a government that is known for telling lies before everybody dies…
open your eyes!!!
