Close Your Eyes

"Close your eyes

You will see"

Cringed in the back of a van with no sleep

Trying to make a good impression with my mic in my hand

I feel weathered, but feel like I've been driving forever

Showin' up to rock a show or trying to hold myself together

I've been better, but all things pass

This life is taking everything away but you're provided with your past

So **** it--I stick to having dreams on the road

But until this dream is done I'm gonna keep my eyes closed

And breathe, breathe when it snows

Breathe when I'm forced to live a life with a person on a phone

Tied down to things I chose and fight the parallel of love

every time I gotta pack up and go and keep breathin'

Leave with the seasons

Breathe and let the blue lights hit me on the stage when I am speaking

Cause after the show when the last star shines

I can make this all better when I close my eyes

I'm in another zone where troubles gone

Where sisters home and my bro leaves that stuff alone

A place where life is easy for everybody else

I wish that Earth was Eden and I put that on myself

But we don't know it all when we don't show it all

For life ain't protocol, under sky, over law

I'm in another space where all the food is good

And there's enough for everybody in my neighborhood

Where all the grass is blue, where we don't know 'bout green

Cause money ain't a thing I pinch myself it's not a dream

Where human form and uniform are unicorn it seems

If I drew a horn in cuneiform it wouldn't mean a thing

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

You will

Between climbing and finding it not worth it

Locked in a rhythm my timing is perfect

I'm so zoned out of my mind I spit verses blind

I think of home when I close my eyes

So done with the smokes and fries

Gas stations with clerks who never seen a Filipino in his life

Drinks I shouldn't drink, things I never write

Cities I never liked now it's like aight

Got merch table weirdos, bros who want to cypher

Girls who want to ****, but not vice versa

My work is love no complaints I'm fine

Its been a long night can't wait to close my eyes

I dream of an industry ego-less

And free from the modern chains with these chains we're so deep in love

Manufacture buzz bought just to keep us up

Dreaming a publicist wasn't 2 G's a month

And where it's not about numbers and math

And I was content with really just a couple of fans

And my happiness wasn't relying on tours and a van

Merch sales, iTunes, MySpace and a band

With the front, front row stadium packed

And those that never gave me a chance I could throw it right back

And scream at them "Look at me now, look at me man"

Defeated myself as I ran circles around a track

Kept running and gunning gunning success in my path

**** being humble, humility is a step in the past

I woke up and realized it was a dream

Wide awake in the rap game, but life I'm asleep

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

Close your eyes

(Keep the vision for sight)

You will see

If you ever feel...

(Keep the vision for sight)
