Open up your eyes and take a look around
put the baggie down,
feel life and don’t make a sound.
Take a swig from a bottle that your brother found,
the same brother got caught in the underground.

Been smoking dope for a few years now,
minds caught, floating up on my hazy cloud,
flashing lights, everything doesn’t seem real now.
My families gone, nothing left but a sorry frown.

Gazing long and hard up into the night sky,
see my friends and family, still feeling a little high
but that’s not what I asked for,
just a normal life and a future full of open doors.

Open up your eyes and take a look around
put the baggie down,
feel life and don’t make a sound.
That’s when I turned the TV on, reached out
all I had left was a lighter and a concrete floor.

Smothered in the feeling of in-security,
passed down from generations in my family.
I was able to see clearly, my chosen path
wasn’t swigging on Hennessey.

I found myself looking for a fresh start,
without reason, just hope and a strong heart.
Now people will be asking me,
what’s life like living in a fantasy?

Open up your eyes and take a look around
put the baggie down,
feel life and don’t make a sound.
Your opportunities must be reached now,
find yourself before you start to judge a crowd.

I’m not speaking from my own experience,
but where I’m sitting all I can see is ignorance.
Closed minds study on a level not deliverance,
take a step back before accusing the innocent.

If you want to build love up,
forget about hate and how people scrub up.
Invite in what your hearts says,
live for the moment, live for everyday.

Open up your eyes and take a look around
put the baggie down,
feel life and don’t make a sound.
Starting to feel a little queasy,
sniffing coke because it frees me.
Now I’m free from all the heartache,
no more anxious pain, or dull escape.
I’m living like a king now,
got my family and all I need now.
So what’s stopping you,
from making the most of life
and doing what you want to do.
