[Verse 1]
I used to envy lad culture
Now I'm here wiser and a little older
Wishing I could be bolder
Colder bars than clamy palms
Stressing into your overdraft
Guessing you don't the dance
The money dance
The money make the girls dance
And they aren't even evening dancers
I want an empty apartment
I want a full house
No room for pouts and bad vibes
Mad lives lost to mad guys
In costumes
The colour matters
If don't know it then who knew
I want to be as blind as them
So I don't need to guide them thru
So I don't need to get angry at Fox News
Are my eyes to open!
Are my tears too free!
I see the video of them getting choked out on the streets in broad daylight
Like Being human ain't a human right
Like being darker don't make you human right?
Tear gas the children and brainwash the idiots
Bare gas they preaching and bare gas they fill us with
Nothing else to do but smoke gas and forget about it and say that we're chill
And everybody ok
Say how're you and everybody ok
Backwards chat cause life knocked them out
And everything we do is limited by structure now
Are my eyes too open?
Are my tears to free ?
[Chorus]
Are my eyes too open?
Are my tears to free?
Is my money too short
Cheaper than my heartbeat?
Are these just words on a beat?
[Verse 2]
Cook up some bars
I swear I got the recipe
Undermine the tactics
You'll never see the end of me
Reckless b
I reign over you all pathetic
Fallacy
Kennedy taught me to not sprint through a gallery
I set up with my g's
Never give them keys
Just give them opportunity
Get up out the trap and out the hood
It never did em good
All they got was a
Back full of jooks
And head full of pain
Insane they preferred d**h over a
Mundane lifestyle
Crime ryles
Up in their childhood
Grew up with some how, what's and woulds
Questions cops would
Attempt to answer
With a hint of hara**ment and slander
They're patting down your pockets
They're shouting what's this object
You tell em it's a ruler
That don't stop the a**uming
It's shank it's a piece it's a strap
He's got the handcuffs now he's ready to attack
He took the books from my book bag
Threw em on the floor
He took the cash from my pocket and then took some more
But I didn't have a case cah I didn't have his number
One feds blunder
Another man sits and wonders
Another man six foot under
Who the fu*k can I trust?
[Outro]
Are my eyes too open?
Tears to free?
(tell me)
Are my eyes too open?
Are my tears to free?
Are my eyes too open?
Are my tears to free?
Is my money too short
Cheaper than my heartbeat?
Are these just words on a beat?
Are these just words on a beat?
Are my eyes too open?
Tears to free?
Money too short
Than my heartbeat?
Are these just words on a beat?
Are these just words?
