Open Your Eyes Lyrics by Johnny Go Deep

Canvas

2017

[Verse 1]
Through history they’ve been promotin' division
It started with our color and our thoughts on religion
Nowadays we got police and these corrupt politicians
Who think they have all the power
But they be lackin' the vision
Don’t listen
To all the lies they tell on television
You gotta
Think for yourself and break out that mental prison
Just because they on the news don’t mean they tellin' the truth
We have to
Spread love and push that on the youth, look
It’s time to make a difference and continue progressin'
We all came a long way
But still deal with oppression
It’s impossible to live in this divided nation
There’s more hate than love spreadin' across the population
Gotta make a change
And open your mind
We gotta stand up
No more bein' confined
Goin' against the system
Tired of bein' victims
I spit the truth through my teeth
Now that’s what I call wisdom
[Chorus]
Aye, look, uh
Open your eyes so you can see the bigger picture
Just ride
Let it ride with me
Gotta open up your eyes to see
Aye, you gotta, aye, you gotta
I said
Open your eyes so you can see the bigger picture
Let it ride
Let it ride with me
Gotta open up your eyes to see
[Verse 2]
We all God’s children and that’s right from the start
I know it wasn’t in his plans to see us fallin' apart
We gotta pick up the pieces
Because this life is like a puzzle
Everyday’s another struggle
Don’t get caught up lookin' puzzled, nigga
Cuz it’s another person wanna get they pockets bigger
Livin' rough
So they think they gotta pull the trigger
They got they back on the corner like Richard Sherman
Flippin’ rocks and bags
And think that it’s a form of workin'
But it ain’t workin'
And they life is uncertain
Actin' like it’s all good
But deep down they really hurtin'
We just want a piece of the pie
An equal opportunity
To make somethin' of ourselves
And give back to the community
Breakin’ down the barriers, like Robinson ‘47
I’m spittin’ this knowledge
And I hope that you learned a lesson
Cherish every single one of your blessings
And I promise all the tension will lessen
That’s decompression, look
[Chorus]
Aye, look, I said
Open your eyes so you can see the bigger picture
Let it ride
Let it ride with me
Gotta open your eyes to see
You gotta, aye, you gotta, look
Open your eyes so you can see the bigger picture
Let it ride
Let it ride with me
Gotta open your eyes to see
[Outro: Bob Ross]
Give him a shake
And just beat the devil out of him
Sometimes those brushes get away
And they go zoom!
Clean the other side of the room
That's when you find out who your friends are
