"Open Up Your Eyes" lyrics
They say ignorance is bliss, but do tell me, what did I miss?
Because the last time that I checked, there's no runnin' from evidence
Now, I'm not tryna be a bible, just pointing out the denial
'Cause when Neo took a chance, the whole Matrix had a revival
I'm runnin' in circles trying to figure it out
How could they be so proud on top a throne of doubt?
I'm losin' my temper tryna give all the answers
Just to be met with blanket statements like "Your truth doesn't matter"
Hold up, here comes another comment right now
Another cynic here to raise an eyebrow
But that's okay, I've never been afraid of tough crowds
I'd rather be put down than for the crowd to never hear me sing
If you're wantin' savin', you need to realize
Your ship is sinking, baby, open up your eyes
So go ahead and fake it like everything is fine
If you're wantin' savin', open up your eyes
They say innocence is feebleness like I don't know what evil is
But I heard this lie before, that's why I steer my heart from wickedness
Hypocrisy's a bad vice, I bought this world with great price
That's why I never listen to the serpent's crooked advice
Adam and Eve aren't just a symbol of humanity
They were people too, but like us they turned into history
But that don't mean it didn't happen just because of memories
If that were the case, then 2020's just a crazy dream
But I'm not tryna be a scholar like Ravi
I'd rather stick to makin' melodies and hard beats
So help me keep the message flowin' in the mainstream
I'm so relevant and catchy, you can call me JB
Hold up, here comes another comment right now
Hold up, here comes another cynic right now
But that's okay, I've never been afraid of tough crowds
I'd rather be put down than for the crowd to never hear me sing
If you're wantin' savin', you need to realize
Your ship is sinking, baby, open up your eyes
So go ahead and fake it like everything is fine
If you're wantin' savin', open up your eyes
Yeah, open up your eyes
Hmm-mm-mm-mm, ayy
Singin' o-o-o-o-open your eyes
O-o-o-o-open your eyes
O-o-o-o-open your eyes
Open up your eyes
O-o-o-o-open your eyes (Sing)
O-o-o-o-open your eyes (Yeah)
O-o-o-o-open your eyes
Open up your eyes
If you're wantin' savin', you need to realize (Need to realize)
Your ship is sinking, baby, open up your eyes
So go ahead and fake it like everything is fine (Fake it, not fine)
If you're wantin' savin', open up your eyes
Because the last time that I checked, there's no runnin' from evidence
Now, I'm not tryna be a bible, just pointing out the denial
'Cause when Neo took a chance, the whole Matrix had a revival
I'm runnin' in circles trying to figure it out

O-o-o-o-open your eyes
Open up your eyes
O-o-o-o-open your eyes (Sing)
O-o-o-o-open your eyes (Yeah)
O-o-o-o-open your eyes
Open up your eyes
