Eyes Wide Shut
Ransom & Nicholas Craven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The important thing is we are awake now
And hopefully for a long time to come
Forever, forever

I be feeling the reapers amongst us
This is not a topic for those
Who seeking some comfort
This is for those who got
Exposed to heathens and hunters
Who feed off assumptions
We squeeze up the function
So flee your circumference
We smoke weed in abundance
If money talks then you speaking redundant
It's going down but we
Sleep in them dungeons
I don't beef with the pundit's
These rappers be talking in circles
You shed a tear when them officers hurt you
Never forfeit your virtues
I'm horrifying like seeing your
Mother and father crying
Knowing their children ain't
Never bothered trying stars aligning
Survive a jungle rumble and scar a lion
Martyr rhyming
I get it jumping like throwing lobs to Zion
Sure, I had a couple thoughts of dying
That shit is mortifying
But us black folks are just more defiant
Scuffled with gods and went
To war with giants guess I'm the God of War
Still I'm baby face like Tha Carter 4
No scars at all
Waiting for karma to come collect
Because if sleeping is the cousin
Then drama's the son of death
Don't come correct you get left
In the darkest crevice
As dark as death is shark infested waters
Get deeper when you be talking reckless
I never cared for y'all perspectives
I just park the Lexus
Life is a movie and I don't talk to extras
Street philosopher squeeze a Glock at ya
Waging wars to keep us involved
Then defeat the profiteer

Never trust him if you can't look
Him in his eyes steady
I know some niggas who frequent
Church but their vibe deadly
Niggas show love but be praying
On your demise heavy and I think that they
Despise everything about me
But what's a book compared to a library
But on the contrary when these
Arms flurry moms worry
My shooting range is beyond Curry's
I'm like a master swordsman after orifice
This your last precaution pass the offering
Your hearse get shot up and crash your coffin
I know it's tragic talking
I'm a bastard orphan wrapped with caution
My mother slipped on her last abortion
That's why I'm evil minded
I brainstorm in tears of Joshua's pain
Make sure you read the climate
A clear difference in our lifestyles
You tying a knot to lock your wife down
I'm tying her knots while she
Screaming out in a
Night gown Pleading out for her life now




I think you're realizing what's the price now
The root of evil
