[Verse 1]
If you'd focus and read between the lines
Then you would be able to see the lies
But you're blinded by this thing that we call love
The thing that causes many people to bawl from
And cry they eyes out til even after lights out
The hell 5 a.m? Man i'm seeing lights now
Didn't sleep at all thinking that they might call
But nothin' staring at the plain white wall
Like aw, sh**, really startin' to flip out
Going crazy like man I need to sort this sh** out
You look in the mirror eyes looking red as hell
Plus the wetness from your tears is on your bed as well
Like man, what you gonna do now
Going to work to see that person you found
To be a nice person but they a snake in the gra**
Your love and their, hates finna crash
[Hook]
Open ya eyes, brother open ya eyes
She ain't feeding you with nothing but lies
Open ya eyes, brother open ya eyes
She ain't feeding you with nothing but lies
If you would just read between the lines
Then you would be able to see the lies
But you're caught up in emotions
If things are so great why you walking round feeling hopeless?
[Verse 2]
All you see is her face can't see she's playing you
Somethings bout to go down soon in a day or two
All you want is for her to say hey to you
Meanwhile she's talking behind your back to hate on you
But you can't see that you're too busy in love
To duck and run for cover but you need that
You know it's true, you know she's bad for you
And you don't want her but yet you gotta have her too
It's the next day, you meet her on her workplace
Greet her, because today is her birthday
After you give her a gift she asks you out
You're completely speechless and you yap your mouth
She says meet her at her house at eight o' clock
You can ring the bell and it's okay to knock
So you say okay then you start leaving work
Meanwhile she's looking at you with a deceiving smirk, yo
[Hook]
Open ya eyes, brother open ya eyes
She ain't feeding you with nothing but lies
Open ya eyes, brother open ya eyes
She ain't feeding you with nothing but lies
If you just read between the lines
Then you would be able to see the lies
But you're caught up in emotions
If things are so great then why you walking round feeling hopeless?
Then why you walking round feeling hopeless?
[Verse 3]
So you show up, go up to her front door
Knock no response so he does it once more
All he sees is her come and open the door
Inviting him in bottles broke on the floor
So she says "Make your self at home i'll be right back
He sat, then all he felt was a light tap
Looked up, saw two men with shotguns
One was already co*ked the other guy co*ked one
Grabbed him before he could even fight back
k**ed him in cold blood just like that
The woman was behind it she set him up
Beware of some people cuz with some you better duck yo
[Hook]
Open ya eyes, brother open ya eyes
She ain't feeding you with nothing but lies
I said, open ya eyes, brother open ya eyes
She ain't feeding you with nothing but lies
(Now look) If you would just read between the lines
Then you would be able to see the lies
But you're caught up in emotions
If things are so great then why you walking round feeling hopeless?
