Kanye West - Eternity (What If? Part 2) lyrics

~Act 1: Awakening~ [Intro: Will E. Savage, HighRider121 & Xaos Nightheart] Rashaad. Rashaad! Come on, you gotta wake up bro. It's been too long It's no use. He's been like this since last night I guess just let him wake up on his own What's he dreaming about? [Verse 1: jResonance] Drowning down a dream state Living lucid looking through the world that we've made Bleeding blue would be the ink of pens that create Flowing fluid through serene places in my mind at times to replace Bad emotions, lack of focus making me hate Reality and it's forces battling to make me wake Up, and I'm sorry for whatever act is after me This is Act 2 of my rad tunes, a masterpiece I call “Azlyn” I hear chaos in mind-states I pa** within but do not care what's happening In the real world, all of our souls were trapped within A box of hopes and pa**ion eventually thrown in trash by them Non believers, non achievers, recycled garbage leaders Who justify idiocy like people who follow Beiber Number 1, maybe 2 if I should ball like Jeter While travelling to new worlds, skating though all the meters And this could be eternity I could stay here forever and none of y'all would hear a word from me Yeah, this could be eternity This is the start of a new life, I'd rather spend my birth in sleep This could be eternity I could stay here forever and none of y'all would hear a word from me Yeah, this could be eternity Welcome to Azlyn [Interview: Kanye West] “I have other goals and other things. And I'm gonna use my platform, every platform, to stand up and say, ‘I want to make something'... to say, people don't stand up to protect their dreams. People are too scared of getting, you know, spoofed in a way. And the irony of it is, think about a creative person in school… You're probably picturing them all the way in the back of the cla** sketching or maybe getting beat up… because creatives have gotten beat up my entire life” [Dialogue: HighRider121 & jResonance] Hey, you're finally awake! I was watching this interview and you came to mind because it's Kanye and, well, you know. Anyway, while you were asleep you were mumbling something about this world. Some kind of fantasy. What was that about? Bro What's up? [Verse 2: jResonance] What if... That was all a dream, now it seems that me, yes I, have woken up? Didn't I control enough of Azlyn? Was I bold enough? What if… My reality of sadness and fatality is now surrounding me and I can't focus? This road to life seems pretty hopeless, can't I stay asleep for the whole trip? What if… What if I am forced to grow up? Hold up, let's slow up. Let me dream again ‘Cause last year, I was on my Peter Pan mentality that I will never see again What if… What if I have to move on, put my shoes on and walk away from fantasy? Guess I'm with open arms just accepting whatever the world is handing me Let me stop giving a damn and sleep [Dialogue: Xaos Nightheart & HighRider121] Well, I know it's really hard to overcome these obstacles. But, if you're pa**ionate about something, you should fight for it! Don't give up so easily Oh, and before I forget. You told me to give you this letter when you woke up. It says “Wake Up Call”. Well, what's it say? [Verse 3: jResonance] Welcome to the real world Reso You've been asleep for awhile, say “hello” To everything you missed in that world of bliss Azlyn is just a figment. Now listen, get over it Let me introduce you to this prison I call planet Earth. Time to pay your home a visit Forget those dreams. Oh geez, yes, I know I'm so mean But it's time you realized that you were tripping. Homie listen Welcome to the real world Reso You've been asleep for awhile, say “hello” To everything you missed in that world of bliss Azlyn is just a figment. Now listen, get over it Let me introduce you to this prison I call planet Earth. Time to pay your home a visit Forget those dreams. Oh geez, yes, I know I'm so mean But it's time you started being realistic Now your dream is finished [Xaos Nightheart] So what? You're just gonna give up now? [Interview: Kanye West] “Do whatever you're gonna do, but you're not going to bully me, you're not gonna stop me, because my mother made me believe in myself. No matter how many people tell me, ‘Stop believing in yourself! Stop seeing what you can do! Stop affirming what you're gonna do and then completing that in real life.' That's the improper way to do it. I refuse to follow those rules that society has set up and the way they control people with low self-esteem. With improper information, with branding, with marketing… I refuse to follow those rules. It's about truth, it's about information, it's about awesomeness, and the only luxury is time. The time you spend with your family, that's the only luxury. So this concept of ‘luxury' is improper to me.” [Outro: jResonance & HighRider121] Subconsciously spitting bars like I'm mind reading Living hard so I don't die easy And my hope's been at a low But I can't give up. This wonderful world of mine needs me Awesome! Now this world of yours, what's it like? What'd you see when you were asleep? Well I'll tell you my dude it's Kind of a crazy story. So first, let me introduce this
