Close Yours Eyes feat. Azzie

Every day i turn on the TV watching all the violence

so many dying, another moment of silence

we gotta change this, not rearrange this

or wish i’ll forever remain nameless

are we brainless, we fly aimless

with no direction, no police protection

here’s my suggestion: kill the egos

then hold the benefits, we can reap those

if you have a dream you can easily reach that

be who you want, never stop and look back

champions win, losers just complain

don’t be a spectator you gotta play the game

but if you play the game you gotta change the game

extraordinary, never remain the same

nobody said life was going to be easy

but i’m living proof ya’ll please believe me

oh i wish there was a place that i could find

to shield you from the pain

that you will see

in this lifetime

for now, just close your eyes

oh i wish there was a place that i could find

to shield you from the pain

that you will see

in this lifetime

for now, just close your eyes

it’s like i’m on one knee and asking lord to save us

and give thanks for all the things you gave us

and turn around and go and rob our neighbor

and don’t that sound just so outrageous

man we so misdirected

having *** unprotected

so we spend 24 hours a day on blackberries

cuz we feel so disconnected

now check it

we buy the latest kicks

but cant keep our phone on

and rock sean johns sleeping on the futon

mercedes benz but still living in projects

we got toilets but we still piss on our steps

man, i can’t begin to explain what types of thoughts running through our brains

mercedes getting hard to maintain

then we let go and pump poison into our veins, it’s insane

i wish there was a place i could fly

where the world didnt need to cry

so now we just look to the sky

hoping now we make it

we only get one chance, hoping now we take it

i wish there was a place i could fly

where the world didnt need to cry

so now i just look to the sky

hoping now we make it

we only get one chance, hoping now we take it

oh i wish there was a place that i could find

to shield your heart from the pain

that you will see

in this lifetime

for now, just close your eyes

oh i wish there was a place that i could find

to shield your heart from the pain

that you will see

in this lifetime

for now, just close your eyes
