Eyes Open

Lyrics

[Intro] Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, so keep your eyes open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, so keep your [Verse 1: Ty] In a place where sometimes you can't even interact with the people you know Uno dos tres cuatro, let's rock slow and see where we go I get lost in my mind sometimes tryna figure out how we gonna find our way Take me back to the time when people said you're never gonna shine uh uh no way You're not from the right country, you Don't have the right accent Skin and bone, no you're too fat Don't have the right skin tone, who produced that? Apparently you gotta dumb down to appeal to the kiddies that's condescending To me, to them, but you see where I come from that story's never-ending Better chew fat like a cow trying to work out how you gonna make an entrance But I wanna send messages through the music, hopefully you feel the vengeance Coupled with independence and knowing I can talk while I gotta when I gotta No I'm not from the gutter but I'm from my mum's yard (right) If you disobey you will feel God Thunder, lightning Strike that body like kung-fu fighting Raised in the village called South London, words travel by mouth When a house is not a home, you're not alone Aunties and uncles, they got a phone If they hear bad things, you know they're gotta moan But that's my village [Chorus] So keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, so keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open [Verse 2: Ty] I admit sometimes that I let the world crush me to a pulp as an adult But I had to figure out for myself that it's a cold day and it's not my fault My worth is not dictated by Values set up by passersby Got to really swerve the grassy knoll Snipers tuned in to the hyperbole In this steeplechase full of beats, bass and bad minds I like to stroll Humbled by the gift of my control My effect on the crowd is likeable Being schooled by PE taught me don't believe the hype so I'm not excitable Ancestral connects I like to pull Indeed this trouble is beautiful Still I rise like the phoenix Maya Angelou in my double helix DNA, see a way, succeed, visualise, activate, proceed and bounce Got to leave a dent in the granite Got to leave a mark on the planet Everything must change, Randy Crawford said so But they won't understand it till the Cow jumps over the moon, til the Whole world bangs in a boom Well you can sit and wait for the end with your friends I'll be over here settin' new trends Mind-bending, new agendas, we are the avengers to remember Chakra remain open, message received return to sender [Chorus] Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, so keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open, keep your ears open, keep your eyes open Keep your mind open [Verse 3: OG Rootz] They say Goodz, what is it, what's holding you back? (back, back, back) I say you can't hold Usain Bolt on a track (track, track, track) They say yo, what is it, why we can't see you? (see you, see you, see you, see you) I say they can't see me cause them man a' see-through (see-through, see-through, see-through, see-through) Only the real recognize real people An artist with a plain canvas Sees a brother like me and blanks us Like they don't understand what a mag does I move heads and shoulders, like dandruff Tight like handcuffs, when I write I set alight standards World wide, like satellite channels Act like UK can't handle Any MC to me is a candle When I do me from a different angle, anything around me dismantles While my pyramids build Just to make it clear there's no getting rid of this skill Why not try open up your pineal (pineal, pineal, pineal) For a pioneer yeah I am here You can feel it like a natural mystic Blowing in the air [Chorus: Deborah Jordan] Gardez l'esprit ouvert, les oreilles ouvertes, gardez yeux ouverts (x5) Gardez l'esprit ouvert
