Eyes Wide Shut
Nicholas Craven Ransom Lyrics

The important thing is we are awake now
It is crucial to acknowledge that we have become aware and conscious at this moment

And hopefully for a long time to come
And it is my desire that this state of awakening remains with us for an extended duration

Forever, forever
Indeed, I anticipate that this awakened state endures indefinitely

I be feeling the reapers amongst us
I sense the presence of beings associated with death and destruction within our midst

This is not a topic for those
This subject matter is not appropriate for individuals

Who seeking some comfort
Who are merely in pursuit of solace or reassurance

This is for those who got
This is intended for those who have acquired

Exposed to heathens and hunters
Been subjected to wicked and predatory individuals

Who feed off assumptions
Who thrive on baseless presumptions

We squeeze up the function
We intensify our gatherings or activities

So flee your circumference
Therefore, depart from your immediate surroundings or social circle

We smoke weed in abundance
We consume a copious amount of marijuana

If money talks then you speaking redundant
If wealth has the power of expression, your words are repetitive and unnecessary

It's going down but we
An event is occurring, however

Sleep in them dungeons
We remain unaware or ignorant of the oppressive conditions we reside in

I don't beef with the pundit's
I do not engage in conflicts with the commentators or experts

These rappers be talking in circles
These musicians converse in circles, lacking substance or progress

You shed a tear when them officers hurt you
You cry when law enforcement agents cause you pain

Never forfeit your virtues
Never surrender your moral principles or integrity

I'm horrifying like seeing your
I am terrifying similar to the experience of

Mother and father crying
Witnessing your parents weeping

Knowing their children ain't
Being aware that their offspring are not

Never bothered trying stars aligning
Never making an effort as if the universe conspired in our favor

Survive a jungle rumble and scar a lion
Endure a chaotic and dangerous event, leaving a permanent mark on a powerful figure

Martyr rhyming
Expressing poetic verses with a sacrificial or self-suffering sentiment

I get it jumping like throwing lobs to Zion
I create an exhilarating atmosphere akin to throwing high-arcing passes to Zion Williamson

Sure, I had a couple thoughts of dying
Certainly, I have entertained a few contemplations of death

That shit is mortifying
That experience or idea is deeply distressing or horrifying

But us black folks are just more defiant
However, individuals of African descent possess a greater sense of resistance and rebellion

Scuffled with gods and went
Engaged in battles or conflicts with divine entities and emerged

To war with giants guess I'm the God of War
Fought against formidable opponents, suggesting I possess characteristics likening me to the deity of war

Still I'm baby face like Tha Carter 4
Nevertheless, I maintain a youthful appearance similar to that of Lil Wayne on his album 'Tha Carter 4'

No scars at all
I bear no visible marks or wounds

Waiting for karma to come collect
Anticipating the arrival of the consequences one's actions deserve

Because if sleeping is the cousin
Because if being unaware or inactive is considered related or akin

Then drama's the son of death
Then conflict or turmoil can be seen as offspring resulting from inaction or ignorance

Don't come correct you get left
If you approach incorrectly or inadequately, you will be abandoned or neglected

In the darkest crevice
Within the deepest, darkest recesses

As dark as death is shark infested waters
As dark and dangerous as death itself, comparable to waters teeming with predatory sharks

Get deeper when you be talking reckless
Become more perilous when you speak thoughtlessly or irresponsibly

I never cared for y'all perspectives
I have never been concerned with your opinions or viewpoints

I just park the Lexus
I simply park my luxury vehicle

Life is a movie and I don't talk to extras
Life is comparable to a film, and I do not engage with insignificant or unimportant individuals

Street philosopher squeeze a Glock at ya
A philosopher of the streets threatens you with a handgun

Waging wars to keep us involved
Engaging in conflicts to ensure our engagement or participation

Then defeat the profiteer
Only to ultimately overcome and vanquish the individual who profits from the conflict

Never trust him if you can't look
Do not place your trust in someone if you are unable to maintain unwavering eye contact

Him in his eyes steady
With complete composure and steadiness in their gaze

I know some niggas who frequent
I am acquainted with individuals who regularly visit

Church but their vibe deadly
Religious establishments, but their demeanor exudes danger or violence

Niggas show love but be praying
People exhibit affection, yet simultaneously harbor intentions of harm

On your demise heavy
Contemplating or desiring your downfall to a significant degree

And I think that they
And I am of the belief that they

Despise everything about me
Hold an intense hatred for every aspect of my being

But what's a book compared to a library
However, their disdain towards me pales in comparison to the extent of knowledge and wisdom I possess

But on the contrary when these
However, conversely, when these

Arms flurry moms worry
Violent or rapid actions occur, causing mothers to experience anxiety or concern

My shooting range is beyond Curry's
My proficiency in marksmanship exceeds that of Stephen Curry's ability to shoot basketballs

I'm like a master swordsman after orifice
I possess the skill and finesse of a highly skilled swordsman after engaging in a difficult or challenging endeavor

This your last precaution pass the offering
Consider this your final act of taking preventive measures and surrender the sacrifice or gift

Your hearse get shot up and crash your coffin
Your funeral vehicle is riddled with bullet holes, causing it to collide violently with your burial casket

I know it's tragic talking
I understand that discussing this is sorrowful and distressing

I'm a bastard orphan wrapped with caution
I am an illegitimate child left with a sense of vigilance and apprehension

My mother slipped on her last abortion
My mother endured a terrible misfortune during her final termination of a pregnancy

That's why I'm evil minded
That unfortunate event birthed the darkness and malevolence within me

I brainstorm in tears of Joshua's pain
I generate ideas immersed in the sadness and suffering experienced by Joshua

Make sure you read the climate
Ensure that you accurately perceive and understand the current social or political atmosphere

A clear difference in our lifestyles
There exists a distinct contrast in our ways of living

You tying a knot to lock your wife down
You are getting married in order to keep your wife committed or restricted

I'm tying her knots while she
Meanwhile, I am engaging in bondage practices with her while she

Screaming out in a
Uttering loud, desperate cries in a

Night gown Pleading out for her life now
In her sleeping attire and begging for her life

I think you're realizing what's the price now
I believe you are now comprehending the true cost or consequence of your actions

The root of evil
The origin or foundation of malevolence and wickedness
