Texty

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
