And it goes like
[Verse 1: Ervin Mitchell]
Wake up in the morning with a lack of motivation
Caught up in between other lessons and occupations
Once here for the world is the essence of my complications
Pray to God that he forgives all of my arrogant proclomations
All I promised was good times and conversation
But when they fall I always fell some type of obligation
I tried tellin' myself that she was just another girl
Inserted a clip and aimed a pistol at her world
Pow, pow
[?]
I just fell in love with the sound the gun makes
It's a cold a** world, but the merciful sun bakes
Looking at the father, I see why his son ate
Drownin' all our pain in a bottle of heartaches
Facin' all my fears, cause that's what it's gon' take
It's a simple fact of life, that people are gon' hate
For as long as you gon' wait
For as long as it's gon' take, uh
[Chorus]
Open up your mind to the sound that your soul makes
The truth about greatness is that we are all great
I'm speakin' life [?] existence, I'm the best rapper alive
They told us we would fail, be we takin' em' by surprise (x2)
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Yeah
That n***a say they closed, why the sign say they open
Puffin' on this marijuana just to hang wit' copin'
Add dreams and personas I had trouble upholdin'
Gettin' then losin' material (x2)
[Instrumental]
Gettin' then losin' material
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
And it goes like
Meanwhile, my soul cries
Like the tears from my eyes
Meanwhile, my soul cries
My soul cries (x2)
And it goes like
Meanwhile, my soul cries
Like the tears from my eyes
Meanwhile, my soul cries
My soul cries (x2)
Open up your mind (echoes)
