"Close your eyes |
[00:07.831] |
You will see" |
[00:10.351] |
Cringed in the back of a van with no sleep |
[00:12.567] |
Trying to make a good impression with my mic in my hand |
[00:14.985] |
I feel weathered, but feel like I've been driving forever |
[00:18.235] |
Showin' up to rock a show or trying to hold myself together |
[00:20.754] |
I've been better, but all things pass |
[00:22.632] |
This life is taking everything away but you're provided with your past |
[00:26.127] |
So fuck it--I stick to having dreams on the road |
[00:28.844] |
But until this dream is done I'm gonna keep my eyes closed |
[00:31.604] |
And breathe, breathe when it snows |
[00:33.806] |
Breathe when I'm forced to live a life with a person on a phone |
[00:36.703] |
Tied down to things I chose and fight the parallel of love |
[00:39.989] |
every time I gotta pack up and go and keep breathin' |
[00:42.621] |
Leave with the seasons |
[00:44.553] |
Breathe and let the blue lights hit me on the stage when I am speaking |
[00:47.741] |
Cause after the show when the last star shines |
[00:50.285] |
I can make this all better when I close my eyes |
[00:53.793] |
I'm in another zone where troubles gone |
[00:56.409] |
Where sisters home and my bro leaves that stuff alone |
[00:59.672] |
A place where life is easy for everybody else |
[01:01.952] |
I wish that Earth was Eden and I put that on myself |
[01:04.890] |
But we don't know it all when we don't show it all |
[01:07.357] |
For life ain't protocol, under sky, over law |
[01:09.998] |
I'm in another space where all the food is good |
[01:12.736] |
And there's enough for everybody in my neighborhood |
[01:16.163] |
Where all the grass is blue, where we don't know 'bout green |
[01:18.405] |
Cause money ain't a thing I pinch myself it's not a dream |
[01:20.892] |
Where human form and uniform are unicorn it seems |
[01:23.834] |
If I drew a horn in cuneiform it wouldn't mean a thing |
[01:27.069] |
Close your eyes |
[01:28.911] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[01:32.357] |
Close your eyes |
[01:34.833] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[01:37.554] |
Close your eyes |
[01:40.472] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[01:42.874] |
Close your eyes |
[01:45.973] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[01:48.683] |
You will |
[01:51.002] |
Between climbing and finding it not worth it |
[01:53.515] |
Locked in a rhythm my timing is perfect |
[01:56.112] |
I'm so zoned out of my mind I spit verses blind |
[01:59.296] |
I think of home when I close my eyes |
[02:01.546] |
So done with the smokes and fries |
[02:04.485] |
Gas stations with clerks who never seen a Filipino in his life |
[02:07.105] |
Drinks I shouldn't drink, things I never write |
[02:09.562] |
Cities I never liked now it's like aight |
[02:12.287] |
Got merch table weirdos, bros who want to cypher |
[02:14.901] |
Girls who want to fuck, but not vice versa |
[02:17.825] |
My work is love no complaints I'm fine |
[02:20.519] |
Its been a long night can't wait to close my eyes |
[02:23.765] |
I dream of an industry ego-less |
[02:25.742] |
And free from the modern chains with these chains we're so deep in love |
[02:29.094] |
Manufacture buzz bought just to keep us up |
[02:31.918] |
Dreaming a publicist wasn't 2 G's a month |
[02:34.584] |
And where it's not about numbers and math |
[02:36.833] |
And I was content with really just a couple of fans |
[02:39.797] |
And my happiness wasn't relying on tours and a van |
[02:42.546] |
Merch sales, iTunes, MySpace and a band |
[02:45.301] |
With the front, front row stadium packed |
[02:47.770] |
And those that never gave me a chance I could throw it right back |
[02:50.722] |
And scream at them "Look at me now, look at me man" |
[02:53.245] |
Defeated myself as I ran circles around a track |
[02:56.220] |
Kept running and gunning gunning success in my path |
[02:58.493] |
Fuck being humble, humility is a step in the past |
[03:01.275] |
I woke up and realized it was a dream |
[03:04.055] |
Wide awake in the rap game, but life I'm asleep |
[03:07.411] |
Close your eyes |
[03:11.123] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[03:13.604] |
Close your eyes |
[03:16.215] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[03:19.344] |
Close your eyes |
[03:21.955] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[03:24.241] |
Close your eyes |
[03:27.265] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
[03:30.139] |
You will see |
[03:35.754] |
If you ever feel... |
[03:37.317] |
(Keep the vision for sight) |
