Organized Konfusion - Open Your Eyes

Track #13 off the classic album "Organized Konfusion"!!! Lyrics: [Pharoahe Monch] There's just too many rages Too many infinite screams at night, we're living in concrete cages Another child is doomed, to be torn in his mother's womb by the spark of the twelve gauges Sometimes it seems like I can't go on, I can't go on But when I envision a black man with thorns in his hand on a crucifix I get strong Never will I ever let a devil deceive me again (HA!) mislead me Cause what I'ma hit you with's gonna hurt (yeah) Because the flesh is meaningless it remains amongst the dirt But the soul is uplifted 10-31-67 I'm God gifted MC's are changing it grows like a fungus Beware of the evil that walks among us, behold a fallen angel, hark, the rebel The mark of 6-6-6, the Devil You better beware cause he's comin behind you No it doesn't take long for him to find you It's a sneak attack black, he's gonna smack you In the form of a rock that's inside of a capsule Or maybe in the form of a man that says to trust me and then begins to shake your hand But when you examined your hand you learned you're alarmed that your palm was disfigured and burned No no no no, it's not surprising Open your book, look to the horizon Start scoping, open your eyes and strive to study the holy Qu'ran or read the holy Bible I'm making a getaway, plan it's gonna be a better way There's gotta be a better day [Prince Poetry] Hmmmmmmm... and now I ask, Lord have mercy upon me and grant me sight, for what I can't see For you are the shephard and I shall not want to front, yes to be blunt, I won't flunk For I am blessed with the gift of knowledge (yeah) without college, but now let's shift into the specific dimension that we call Earth Where God gave us the gift of birth Last but not least Ephessians 6 tells you to teach the child Revelation tells about two day swarms, the guns and diseases Homicides over epidemics and crack vials Got guns going BUCK BUCK BUCK BUCK And when you look up you see a kid got struck But mentally the blood pours out of the mother's heart Cause it hurts to lose to Lucifer's part (mmm, yeah) Yes, for I have seen the light That shines bright even in the dark of the night And I (I) thank (thank) thee (thee) For constantly watching over me There are about, four hundred and fifty-thousand homeless without housing Brothers sharing cells and sharing beds They can't seek a job with this hair that's dread Sit back and face reality with these lyrics I hope they can uplift your spirits (we're living in the last days, we're living in the last days) Cause God made water and trees food man woman land fire grass animals clouds and sunrays to shine on the parents of those twenty-six kids that died last year (last year) And it's a shame it's a crying shame, uhh Sometimes I felt that I was there You better get up and wipe to clear your eyes And get right with the master of disguise
