Open your eyes, open your
Open your eyes, open your
Open your eyes, open your
Open your eyes, open your
Open your eyes, open your
Abre los ojos, mira al de al lado
Mueve ese culo, muévelo, hermano
Búscate un curro, cómprate un carro
Abre los ojos, mira al de al lado
Se va la vida y tú tan parado
Mueve ese culo, muévelo, hermano
Búscate un curro, cómprate un carro
Ya-ya recuerdo de dónde vengo y hacia donde voy, yeah
Si quieres verme sabes dónde estoy, yeah
Sigo en el barrio rodeao' de boys, ah
Abre los ojos, el futuro es hoy
Ya sé de dónde vengo y hacia donde voy, yeah
Si quieres verme sabes dónde estoy, yeah
Sigo en el barrio rodeao' de boys, yeah
Abre los ojos, el futuro es hoy
In "Open Your Mind," B. Shop encourages listeners to wake up and take action, both personally and socially. The repeated phrase "Open your eyes" is a call to awareness, urging people to look around and see what is happening in their world. The lyrics in Spanish, "Abre los ojos, mira al de al lado," further emphasize this message, telling people to look not only straight ahead, but also to those beside them.
The second half of each verse focuses on taking action. B. Shop urges listeners to be proactive and make their lives better. He tells them to "move that ass, brother" and to "get a job, buy a car." These lyrics emphasize the idea that change is possible but requires effort and hard work.
The final verse brings it all together, as B. Shop reminds listeners of where he came from and where he is going. He speaks of being "surrounded by boys" in his neighborhood but still striving towards a better future. The message of the song is clear: don't be content with the status quo, but instead, open your mind and take action to make a better world.
