[Chorus]
Looked myself in the eyes
Say "Don't You go blind, open up your eyes
Yea you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Say "Don't you go blind, open up your eyes
Yea you better see the signs"
[Verse 1]
Life is like a movie
Turn the earth into a stage but
Nowadays the stage is lookin' a little grey
Hero's merging with the Villains
The worlds full of guns to spray
And people that'll judge you if you black or you gay
I don't get it they kill children for resistin'
When in the first place the had no reason for resistance
There's menace in they vision It's clear to see hate persistin'
They just wanna see people locked up in a prison
Uh so i think i gotta ask as a nation how long are we gonna let this last, how longs it gonna take until we finally look past
Judgin' others on appearance instead of on how they act
It's sad i'm white and i can't even be proud
Because of all the time my race put another race down
Every time i see republicans i flash a fake smile
While on the inside knowin' that they turnin' vile
[Chorus]
Looked myself in the eyes
Say "Don't you go blind open up your eyes
Yea you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Say "Don't you go blind open up your eyes
Yea you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Say "Don't you go blind open up your eyes
Yea you better see the signs"
Looked myself in the eyes
Say "Don't you go blind open up your eyes
Yea you better see the signs"
[Verse 2]
The kids a modern controversy can't nobody pin em down
They keep asking where i been boy I've been around
Got kicked out of my house and even moved towns
Now my brains rottin' away while i'm smokin' down an ounce
Mental health's a problem that my country don't wanna solve
They care more about oil and mass producing their bombs
They don't give a shit about the kids
Without a mom, or a dad that can go into the back and toss a ball
Or kids that wanna blow their f*ckin' brains onto the wall
We got a million f*ckin' issues when the hell's it gonna stop
I've been poppin' acid to make the pain dissolve
But i think a better option would be grippin' on a Glock
the meaning to this song is about all the struggles people have and all the struggles this country has without realizing it. A line in this song is talking about how many kids want to die because of there home life that schools or other acedimac places dont know about.
