Close Your Eyes Remix

(Naz)
Open up, look around--tell me what you see
I see a school of lost souls drowning in their own greed
Brothers clutching eachother's throats – unprovoked
Fear has toppled our empathy, and our hopes
A world that's reduced to a scandal of insanity
And the candle of humanity's dismantled with our vanities
Vandals left us stranded as we're tangled in calamities
Strangling our dreams in the mantle of brutality
.....I couldn't but take a sigh
We're nothing but a number in societies deprived
Man meets power, then man meets doom
Cuz power blinded man from seeing that he's consumed
So if Ignorance is bliss, and happiness is within
I'll combat this goddamn system with apathy till the end
Those savages can win, I'm just happy to sur-vive
Hide in the mannikin within and close my third eye


(FigureOfStruggle)
I close my eyes, only I got the key to my mind
As I go inside and coincide with my thoughts
I see dead people, it's a blow to my pride
What happened to my home?
We got left behind
Moses split the sea,
and now we
Ride with the tide and we drowning in it
I'm a soldier, concrete battle field, God's my lieutenant
I fire at the devil but he laughs and says I missed
This is my consequence for lack of consciousness
With my back to the steel fence
I failed the monsters test
And so I close my eyes
And I...dream

(Chorus)

(AK)
I close my eyes and think of bigger and better dimensions
Everything I imagined seems so stupid and pretentious
I feel like I'm boxed in with all these phonies and pretenders
So persistent, I won't pretend they ain't relentless, yet resistant
These thoughts run in my head and I'm just trying to connect them
And my eyes are staying closed but slowly I start to suspect them
As if they were open all this time
But like a father and his son my eyelids will protect them
‘Cause the shit that they have seen
should never have been fuckin’ mentioned
So I close my eyes, and forgot about the horrors
The past don't matter, it's the future that's important

(Devilish Thoughts)
I wake up, to the sounds of their screams
Voices in my head seem to haunt all my dreams
Insanity plagued me, rap was my escape
So I bottled my fears and out came my mixtape
Now everybody who didn't give a fuck before
Suddenly all seem to respect me more
So as I dream of fame I close my eyes
I don't want the money, I'd rather die
The industry's a joke, full of fakers and fiends
Takin' our money so all we got left is our dreams
And my "mama told me there'd be days like this"
"Ambitionz of a Ridah" who was lazy as shit
But fuck it,

I searched for hope at the end of a noose
Fought the Devil within and I try but I lose
So I,
Dreamt of a world where I was free from these thoughts
Only to find I was really 6 feet deep in a box
