C-Jay - Open Your Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1: CJay] I see a world with a government that lies to the public And who claims democratic and at times a republican And lately you citizens trynna rub it in don't shame me but blame me for trynna understand Don't like to learn it cuz i ain't concerned with politics You know what knowledge is cuz you graduated from certain colleges? Blacks don't wanna learn unless they earn a scholarship If not going to school was a rule they'll learn to follow it I'm trynna ask these blacks what the 'f' you doing? Cuz we learned to be treated like nothing less than human I'm saying for years we suffered severe pain Forced to sit in the backseat of buses and airplanes Nowadays people will sell they soul for the paper You need advice so take Jesus Christ as your lord and savior I knew it, all they told us was lies and you will see it once you open your eyes [Hook 1: CJayy] Got to open your eyes and realize (lies) Got to open your eyes and realize (lies) [Verse 2: CJay] And just for the record son ain't it ironic how Nas is God's son, Big L's the devil's son That shows you legends have a resemblance of some kind But they have a distinct style, flow and a punchline You rappers should Be unsigned cuz y'all ain't got the heart to do it All you make is hits off silly dances and party music I'm bout to make these rappers wish they never had fame Cuz they giving us real emcees a bad name You lames love to talk about the things you never did So label me as one of the greatest lyricists who ever lived And Noex is a legend as well We reppin' us and we reppin' it well Rappers changing they style when they get famous so they fans is upset Showing lack of respect that's a bad example to set We suppose to do right cuz all of us is hopin' to rise and you will see it once you open your eyes [Hook 2: CJay] Repeat [Verse 3: CJay] Life is nothing cool but living it is a rule Every morning I have to take a city bus to school That ain't nothing compared to what I've seen and witnessed about Africans; their life is what seems realistic Especially in Uganda, they giving kids weapons, Smith/Wessons Rib checkin' above the midsection This happens everywhere it ain't only in Africa Could you imagine a world without the ma**acre? (No) should we panic cuz blacks are wooly mammoths? We're becoming extinct from the planet, we'll fully vanish We do some damage overseas; reduce the average What's sad is Americans don't know how good we have it Let's take this dark world and give it light If one ain't living right then we all ain't living right Cuz peace is a ghost in disguise and you'll see it once you open your eyes [Outro: CJay] Born in the 93 20 years later you got me Real Prophecy Real Hip Hop lives underground Know what you gotta open your eyes and realize k**uminati Open Your Eyes Realize...
