[Verse 1]
Open your beautiful eyes and gaze towards the sky
At my destination cause I'm surrounded by lies
Like how they gonna let go of the k**er of Treyvon?
Whites acquitted for crime or called mentally ill how come?
Black man on d**h row without evidence like Troy Davis
Lobbyists trying to pa** off BS, they're so loquacious
How can you believe the speeches that are mendacious
And given by politicians trynna help their own a**es?
They rather help JP Morgan than improve our cla**es
Rather spent money on war than education
But I still salute those with dedication to this nation
Still salute the patrolled who are now taking control
You're playing a video game; the console is your life
You only get one shot, one try, one chance to make it right
Learn and master this ephemeral dice game
And in doing so don't get caught up in the "nice" fame
Nice chains, nice brain, they giving you mad whips like a slave
But where will it all go once you enter your grave?
I'm just a poor boy trynna make it in this life
But what about after this life?
[Verse 2]
Open your beautiful eyes and gaze towards the sky
At my destination cause I'm surrounded by lies
The Fraud, The Robbery, The Unneeded Violence
That's why I'm over here rapping with a conscience
They told me to keep my mouth shut, I'd cause too much trouble
Instead I looked toward the sky just like the Hubble
If you have a voice then you really have a choice
Enlighten the ma**es or drive in your Rolls Royce
I chose the former, but still trynna get the latter
Spoken G serving lyrical sausage on a silver platter
Malcolm told me to speak up for everything I wanted
Religion told me if I had wealth then don't flaunt it
News told me of all my people that were murdered
Schools showed me the leaders whose ideas I would have furthered
Pops told me of all the moments he had grinded
My childhood n***as in streetz or jail? That's what crime did
So I follow my own heart; what others utter I never mind it
I've found the meaning of my life. Yours? It's time for you to find it
