[Verse 1]
Usually I wait a couple of bars
But ain't no time for that between and dayjob
Prolly I should wait a couple summers
But I'mma drop gems on you before the sky blue
Blue ink on yellow paper, try'nna make it green
Red numbers in my life, rent due by the fifteenth
People holding pink hopes in color
For young eye, few things be how they seem out here
Is like a five cheese pizza
Try'nna see past, it remind me of nina
She said a child's eyes freedom
Is not clouded with the fear of seeing
I'm paraphrasing, but what I mean is
Even if the face behind the desk
Green black, brush is in the paint on your eyeballs
[Hook]
Baby, I know it burn bright
Don't let your eyes adjust
Keep 'em wide open though
It might just, just might
Dark fronting like a shining light
Don't let your eyes adjust
[Verse 2]
I'm writing this to you while you're still in the room
Or you might be when I show up, but appear he's overdue
Nine months if you're really there try'nna peak through
Know that few things be what they appear to out here
The right wind blow
Charlie out in the US, she my one move
My boy in London
Is marching in Stockholm again though
Half of those fools caught in the Stockholm syndrome
Ain't no making excuses for
But I still ain't see no newborn with
Somebody taught them to see through couple thousand years powertripping
It's a reason we call them, it be there
It still be there
Still dividing
Laying down with your uncle, your uncle I feed
That's why they building walls
Long as the source pouring up the
[Hook]
Oh baby, I know it burn bright
Don't let your eyes adjust
Keep 'em wide open though
It might just, just might
Dark fronting like a shining light
Don't let your eyes adjust
