Close Your Eyes


sit back, relax and
close your eyes
let time relapse
so there is no limit for us to find the facts
every thought that is manifested is
designed from scratch
do you have time for that?

        exhale...
because the tale I tell is about inspiration

mental stimulation

verbal

HMM

penetration

because my dedication to inspiration causes stimulation
in EVERY generation with or without education
because we've all experienced the frustration within this nation
or else you wouldnt be hearin' me
you'd be fearin' me

You would be deaf to the fact of your own death
mistaken that single solitary lone breath
of inspiration of life of meaning
to last
but in reality it is your

LAST

no more will come after you
just like none have come before you
you live in this moment and you die in this moment
but if you refuse this moment
then you lose this moment

and then there is no purpose for your life
you are wasting precious inspiration and taking
vital thoughts for granted

these thoughts your granted

and meanwhile your walkin around like a zombie
the living dead
as i said
you are dead

to this moment

stumbling in the darkness with closed eyes
so even if the light would shine
you would still miss it because your sight is blind


you will close your eyes all because a man tells you to
i told you to close your eyes
because the world we live in teaches us to close our eyes
that's all we do is close our eyes
but we are so close or i

wouldnt tell you to close your eyes

but they want you to close your eyes
so you will boast your lies
which brings about hope's demise
but believe it or not

the smoke will rise

outta the flames and fires
because to elevate

(to elevate)

means to get higher
off of spoken word or smokin' herb
because all things originate from the soil of the soul

this is where i drop the seed
this is where our pops will grieve
this is where our moms will weep
because this is where we toss and creep
from a loss of sleep
tranced by our thoughts of greed
and all the while the cost is deep

you sellin your soul to the devil
and he collects
    with a high interest rate


when you could use your own soul
to sell a higher

(elevated)

interest rate

in what your thoughts dictate
but everything we're taught is hate
which causes our hearts to break

and here we are...
back at square

1

with our eyes closed
with our lives froze
from the lies chose

sit back, relax and
let your mind collapse

OPEN YOUR EYES

so there is no limit for you to find the facts

i KNOW you have time for that!!
