Eyes Wide Shut - Skyzoo

Yo the time was wasting, but we saw it as ventilation

Call it what you wanted but we just called it a day spent

Shit you couldn’t learn in the crib but was always saved with

Or saved by, so say bye and hit the pavement

Rules of engagement, don’t ever rule out the amazement

Of better dreaming from never sleeping due to a grave shift

Boats in abundance, shipments in corner containers

Locally funded, literally foreign exchanges

Know the occasion, on occasion I had to stay in

But most of the time I was outside where the play is

Difference was, I understood what all of the issues was

Same way I understood a pistol run

Such a dichotomy, all on the sides of me

Wasn’t much room left, so nothing else got to me

From John Coltrane to Danny Simmons to Richard Wright

To friends with a brick of white, nothing was outta reach

But fuck it be proud of me, this could’ve went wild left

The key to it is never leaving it where denial’s left

I knew what I was gunning for, and who was fixing my aim so when the gun go off

Shit’ll be one shot, told there’s only one top, but that the bottom got wild

space

Regardless of how many people is on that ground chase

Circling around base, opinions in the kitchen how they circling around base

Way too many cooks, but I was raised by a crook who found his way through a book

And another one and another one, and changed the way you look

At his son and at his two other sons, my brothers and me

Swear to God I put my arm up over what they could see

So may Jehovah or Allah or Buddah bless us

Or whoever else you’re calling like par can you protect us?

I zip up my Colombia jacket while my man is beeping Colombians

Like yo this shit ain’t locking at all, fuck it I’m done with them

Contracts voided over pay phones

I’m there for moral support but need to make my way home

My pops got tickets for Bring in The Noise, Bring in The Funk

And BBQs after that yo this shit is a jump

All my men’s in the front as we load up inside the Wrangler

Same one like the one I went and bought where the roof change up

And all of that do change us, could’ve been a different view

Never know the bags under your view until they stick with you

But sleep is the cousin of the death, so never sleep

My pop said I’ve been up since you was born, best believe

Best believe you’re gonn' believe it all when you get to be

And I been up since December 20th, 2017, do believe

And I been up since December 20th, 2017, do believe

And I been up since December 20th, 2017, do believe
