Mike McGovern, Kid Travis, Joee Vee - Open Your Eyes Lyrics

Ayo I like ta think my life is going pretty swell
Cause I indulge into my music
Only time will tell
I got a couple fans
But that'll do for now
I'm fighting tooth and nail
I can't afford ta fail
Carry my family with me
We moving parallel
Actions speak louder then words homie don't try to yell
I hear the shit your saying
Oh hell yeah I do
Be glad ta see the back of me
Cause I'm through
So fire up the good dude and get the good mood kicking
It's Friday night and you should be stricken by the
Sound of the waves and the stars in the sky
Forget the joint, you slip down into a natural high
You know that feeling when you're happy and nothing can up and change it
The music's bumping and everybody's singing so it's got you thinking
There's no better time in the world to relax
You give the world a little good and get a lot of it back, c'mon
There's no telling what you can do with your mind
You fell to your knees just trying to survive
You just need to know where you're going
Open your eyes and baby look to the sky
Yo, hey
I guess I never really seemed to wrap my head around
This crazy world we live in, so I tend to write it down
Note for note I hope they hear it's really not a joke
We working music on the side so we can just payback the folks
And we will, God willing
And one thing this music really brings good feelings
So I pray you all beside me
Remind me to find peace
My mind needs some time to align with my heartbeat
I'm patriotic, honest, willing to give up my profits
Spilling rhymes like the oil spill in deep water horizon
We just tryna find a road we can cruise so
Even if we lose we can look to the blue skies
I just can't wait till we're up, on a hillside
Looking to the world like, we knew we would be alright
We just had to fight for a seat on this flight
Now we chilling like, I wonder what we bout to do tonight
There's no telling what you can do with your mind
You fell to your knees just trying to survive
You just need to know where you're going
Open your eyes and baby look to the sky
Open my eyes and I saw the world in front of me
Momma said I can be just what I wanna be
So I got up out my room just assuming that one day I would blow up like balloons do, it's true dude
Hell I ain't scared of nothing, ain't even scared of death
Don't count on me ta fall, I gotta lotta fight left
That's right yes, man I'm here ta stay
I've been running off ambition since the seventh grade
So I ain't stopping till the day that I'm old and gray
And even then I'll be singing ta all my children hey
I wanna walk up to my momma in the kitchen, washing dishes
Look her in the eyes and tell her that I did it, aye
That would be the day
When I can tell my father he don't have to go to work, no more oil on his shirt
Imma put my little sister through college
I'm honest bout all this, whatcha wanna call this
There's no telling what you can do with your mind
You fell to your knees just trying to survive
You just need to know where you're going
Open your eyes and baby look to the sky

Ayo I like ta think my life is going pretty swell
Cause I indulge into my music
Only time will tell
I got a couple fans
But that'll do for now
I'm fighting tooth and nail
I can't afford ta fail
Carry my family with me
We moving parallel
Actions speak louder then words homie don't try to yell
