[Intro/hook]
Wake up, Complain x6
Wait up, wait up, wait up, everything is okay when you
Open up your eyes x 3
The stars they all align when you
Open up your eyes x2
If you're breathing can't complaint you still got your whole life
[Verse 1 – big O]
Opened up my eyes [eyes]
Golden shine outside, blue skies, not energized
Rather stay folded up inside
[Arise], for an enterprise, that took my life for a price of a 9 to 5
But why grind, and be penalized?
Decide to give up my life just to survive?
I'd rather forget time, enjoy moments fo' they die
And slow motion in my mind, so I can notice I'm alive
And stay focused on my drive, cuz see, a broken roads just fine
As long as it's all mine, leave it all behind, don't care for forks or all divides
I, won't compromise, so much pressure to provide;
So I can live, like I like to dine, with extra cheddar, xl size;
Extra bread left on the side, slide till' credit cards denied;
But the only time it's all right, and there's treasures that I find
Is when I open up my eyes
[hook x2]
Open up your eyes x 3
The stars they all align when you
Open up your eyes x2
If you're breathing can't complaint you still got your whole life
[verse 2 – Conquest]
Yo, making sure my eyes are open
But amidst the sunshine and rain, I'll admit that sometimes the pain, requires ibuprofen
Two hundred milligrams
Got my head spinning like a break-dancer or a ceiling fan
But I gotta maintain the balance
And give it my best shot so I feel like I'm still a man
All my struggles get placed on the shelf
Try to concentrate on the wealth
Son its a game of chess, and I'm from Queens
We can move in all directions except taking a L
So when it's on, I'll be ready for anything as I'm planning to face what comes near
Why worry? cuz I'm never scared
Cuz stress is the manifestation of fear
So with open eyes and focus I been seeing all the coals as diamonds
And even through the coldest snow inside of the whole global climate
I'm solar I'm known for shining
So if my eyes closed, I'm dreaming of a trip to Oslo
Reminiscing beats that I kilt like Glasgow
The sentiment is deep
Hope my premonition reaches those who got a peak to strive for
[hook x2]
Open up your eyes x 3
The stars they all align when you
Open up your eyes x2
If you're breathing can't complaint you still got your whole life
