"The Open" lyrics
It feels so good but I know that it's bad for me
'Cause there ain't nothin [?]
Look
Look
You could, you could
Get a bitch the world she gon' ask for a purse wit it (Ask for a purse with it)
Niggas want fame but don't ever see the curse in it (Never see the curse in it)
Nah, people want success but don't ever put the work in it
What is an opinion when I've been my worst critic
Black male misunderstood, they don't ever see the hurt in 'em (Never seen the hurt in 'em)
Nah, dying inside like somebody put a hearse in 'em (Somebody put a)
It ain't no talk in the world when converse wit 'em (No)
Instead of judge you should work wit 'em
Life is a lottery
You could be born into a lot of cheese
Or the hand of life dealt you the hand of poverty
Forced to bottom feed when niggas who in the same boat
You're in over your head but you still gotta stay afloat
Had a dream I saw God, I was like 'bruh what are you doin?' (What are you doin)
People hit they knees every night prayin to you and this city still ruined (City still ruined)
Niggas won't put the gun away (Gun away)
Funerals every other day (Other day)
I hit the schools and the kids look confused lookin like a big room fulla runaways
Guess it's cool to spend money in the dumbest ways
Lookin real high fashion but under paid (Whoa)
I put in work like it's [?]
Got me treatin every single day like a double day
You don't know when it's over
Seein niggas drop like flies
Gettin phone calls prayin that it's not my guys
And you can see the pain all in my eyes
But just know it's not mine I'm too gone bruh
Eh
It feels so good but I know that it's bad for me
'Cause there ain't nothin real in reality
I conceal my pain behind this tough skin like fuck it
Found God while looking into the mirror and still can't trust him
I got problems with myself (Myself)
We all got problems and we all need help (Help)
I guess I'll put mine in the open
Eh
In the open
It's only up when you're broken down, when you're broken down
I guess I'll put mine in the open
Eh
In the open
There's nothin but hope for a hopeless child
For a hopeless child
I guess I'll put mine in the open
You can't please everyone
That's another secret
We have to remind ourselves
We are not in this world to live up to other people's expectations
What matters most to you? How do you see yourself? That is essential
Because people's opinions of you are always changing. However
How you see yourself stays with you forever
It's what you can let go of that determines how high you can fly
The secret is letting go
Of whatever does not serve you
We came here to be free
'Cause there ain't nothin [?]
Look
Look
You could, you could
Get a bitch the world she gon' ask for a purse wit it (Ask for a purse with it)
Niggas want fame but don't ever see the curse in it (Never see the curse in it)
Nah, people want success but don't ever put the work in it
What is an opinion when I've been my worst critic
Black male misunderstood, they don't ever see the hurt in 'em (Never seen the hurt in 'em)
Nah, dying inside like somebody put a hearse in 'em (Somebody put a)
It ain't no talk in the world when converse wit 'em (No)
Instead of judge you should work wit 'em
