Open My Eyes
Paul van Dyk feat. Kyau & Albert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I opened up my mind, aye
It's sounding so different, aye aye
The demons are whispering, aye aye
But I'm never listening, aye aye
I'm back on my shit again, aye aye
Making some hits again, aye aye
Every time I step on stage the crowd Like, aye aye aye!
I do not know what these people just Want for me
People don't know but I'm putting Them on to me
You never thought I was flowing, I Got to be
Hottest commodity, no need to Coddle me
Hop in the game and ain't no one on Top of me
Listen the rappers are really some Wannabes
Me and his mumblers make a Dichotomy
Don't let it show but it's starting to Bother me
Rapping so cold that my feet go Numb, baddfish made it so the beat Go dumb
So you got talent? Will you please Show some
I listened to your bangers, you can Keep those bum
Like ugh... ugh ugh
That flow was grosser than sipping Corona
I'm chopping it up with a different persona
Got 99 problems I listen to Hova
You don't know what you don't Know
I'm bouncing like a pogo
The crowd be bouncing with me got Them tweaking like they overdosed
They never see me coming, got them Spooked like they seen a ghost
Hold up wait I do the most
Every time I open up my mind aye!
It's cataclysmic, I had to visit, my Frontal cortex like I had a vision
Now I'm stepping outside with a grander Vision
Staying far away like a pacifist
Oh you don't know? this what Passion is
I wanted to stay but I had to dip
Man enough of this flow let's get Back to this
Look in the crowd and I'm seeing the Camera
Keeping it up and I'm showing some Stamina
Dealing with trash so I feel like a Janitor
Keeping my money I don't need a Manager
Managing me is a hard occupation I'm not gonna listen I'm showing no Patience
I'm not gonna let all my talents get Wasted
You turning me up when I come on The station
He gonna keep going? It's really Amazing
Oh you didn't get it? How about I Rephrase it?
Refraining from being complacent Was looking for skills for a minute
But now they're adjacent
Wait
I don't really wanna do that no more
I don't wanna be a cool cat no more
Guess that means I can't rap no more

Every time I open up my mind aye!
My mind aye
Every time I open up my mind aye...





Every time I do it, I wish I didn't do It
