Текст пісні
See I done put in too much work to let it all go to waste
Persistence keep me driven, steady raising in the stakes
365 days, and your life could change
Just believe in yourself and do whatever it takes
Some people take the hard route don't ever wanna listen
Turn to self-loathing while their traumas make decisions
You gotta move smarter, you gotta think better
Cause one wrong move that could be your life ender
Big spenders finding habits blinded by the diamond shine
While the poor living cheque to cheque, society declines
Why you think they devise to do crimes
Risk it all for paper, put their lives on the line
Assimilation, discrimination, a loss of language
Annihilation, extermination of whole nations
But curriculum didn't teach us that in school
It's time to shed the light cause it's long overdue
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
Existential crisis, 60 scoop survivors
Alcoholism, opioids like a virus
Children live in foster care, the modern residential school
Mistreated by their guardians and no one seems to mention to
Them that they worthy, and they belong
So I just spit these lyrics, tell them that in this song
I strive to see society when we all get along
But complexion make a hierarchy, don't tell me I'm wrong
They say ignorance is bliss, I say only if you're open
To learning and receiving all these sacred notions
That been in place thousands of years before contact
1951, when they gave us those back
But how can they decide what we do with our lives
It's time to take em back, drop these needles and knives
Stop this lateral violence, inspire the youth through guidance
Be proud to raise our voice, no more living in silence
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
Open ya eyez just open ya eyez, look
