Open The Gates

[VERSE 1]
Young motherfucker with a pen in my hand
Said to the man
Showing no sen to the ments (sentiments)
And tennements
In my complex know its honest
And regardless they can't stop this
I'm a prodigal-- nonsense-- I'm a god
I'm beyond this
I've accomplished quite a lot with
A promise is abolished
And too often I watch it
So hear the words right before the conquest
Right before the bomb threats
Man I used to bomb sets
Now I only shoot tens and I never get arrested
Never get stressed kid, now its in the past
And I move it to the next list, I should get tested
(haha)
Just kidding, but really though
Intervene with the bros chasing these silly hoes
Silly thots (thoughts) running in my mind
Am I really that guy? Am I really that blind?

[PREChorus]
(ooh)
Take off the lenses and show me the present
I wanna be present right now
Every step is a blessing I'm checking the gates
And they're opening, opening
And I'm at the summit I done it
I never wanted to plummet
I run it straight into the sky, it's
Peter the piper but all the light, it's
Coming from the gates they're behind him

And I walk up to the door and tell him hi
Then he shakes my hand and says evan my guy (uh)
Its been too long, we've waited for you all your life (uh)
Boy you got what it takes
Hold up a sec lemme open the gates, lemme open the gates

[Chorus]
(ooh, weh ooh)
Its been a long time coming thats right, lemme open the gates
Let me open the gates, the gates, the gates, the gates, the gates
Its been a long time coming thats right, lemme open the gates

[VERSE 2]
Let me open the gates, the gates, the gates, the gates, the gates
Open the hand, the heart, the brain
Open the close till it closes the frame
Closes the frame
Window's a part of the picture I'm saying it's soulless and vain
I'm sounding pretentious I get it I meant it to be just a thought
Hope you know what I'm saying, yeah
Hope I can lessen your pain, yeah
Thats what I'll say when I'm finished on Earth and
I'm standing in front of the Man, yeah
Hope I did everything you want, everything you need
Everything I had wasn't meant for the greed
Its enough, and it better be
Turn it to a better feat
Take a bit of water wash another make it wetter feet
Get it b?

[PREChorus]
Take off the lenses and show me the present
I wanna be present right now
Every step is a blessing I'm checking the gates
And they're opening, opening
And I'm at the summit I done it
I never wanted to plummet
I run it straight into the sky, it's
Peter the piper but all the light, it's
Coming from the gates they're behind him

And I walk up to the door and tell him hi
Then he shakes my hand and says evan my guy (uh)
Its been too long, we've waited for you all your life (uh)
Boy you got what it takes
Hold up a sec lemme open the gates, lemme open the gates

[Chorus]
(ooh, weh ooh)
Its been a long time coming thats right, lemme open the gates
Let me open the gates, the gates, the gates, the gates, the gates
Its been a long time coming thats right, lemme open the gates
