Close Your Eyes

[Intro]
Yeah, Check It Out
I Want Everybody To Just Sit Back
And Close Your Eyes
And Picture Things That You Never Seen
Cover Reality
Right Before Your Eyes
So Sit Back
Turn It Up
And Close Your Eyes

[Verse 1]
Coming Up Against All Odds
It Was The Story Of My Life
Doing What I Gotta Do
Whether Wrong Or Right
Late Nights
I Used To Go In The Kitchen
Nothing And Not Bitchin'
But Telling A Story
Pure Facts Homie Listen
I Used To See My Moms
On Her Knees Praying
Asking For Someone
Some How To Make A Way In
I Seen That
But Didn't Understand
Witnessing My Mom Doing Things
That A Man Should Really Do
But Naw, My Father Didn't Keep It True
So At That Point
My Mamma Told Me
It's Just Me And You
Kissed Me On My Cheek
Went To Work
When I Went To The Streets
Couple Of Months Later
Shackled Head To Feet

[Hook]
Now Close Your Eyes
I Want You To Close Your Eyes
And Just Visual What I See
Wasn't Nothing Funny
Running In The Streets
Close Your Eyes
And Witness A G
That's On The Rise
Doing What I Gotta Do
To Survive
Close Your Eyes
Trying To Make Sense Of this Life
Doing What I Gotta Do
On The Right
Close Your Eyes
And Picture Me Doing The Things
You Never Thought I Would Do
Open Your Eyes
And See It's Come True

[Verse 2]
Now Its 2012
Yeah Times Change
Different Story
Different Struggle
Different Things Is Bringing Pain
I Wanna Say
Life Ain't The Same
Some Very Sad Things That Happened
But I'm Charging To The Game
My Homie Droopy Got Out
Told Me, Damn It's Hard To Change
But He's Doing It For His Son
Now His Target Is a Name
The Homie Creepy
Just Did Seven & Some Change
Huey Just Got Out
And They Told Me Both The Same
I Was Talking To The Older Homie
Traveling On The Road
Come To Realize
Certain Things As You Grow
Said It's Not Cool To Be Stupid
Now Whoa
And Thats The Type Of Shit
That Starts To Fucks With My Soul
Start To Think About The Homies
In The Crossroads
Shed A Tear For The Homies
That They Lost Souls
Thinking To My Self
Would They Sense Us A Down For Descent
Either Way If They Were Here
They Would Change Our Fate I Bet
So I Drift Into The Sunset
Smoking Kush And In My Mind
I'm Thinking What's Next?
The Thoughts Cold
But Really It's Part Of Reality
Ask The Lord
To Please Look After Me
When I Close My Eyes

[Hook]
I Want You To Close Your Eyes
And Just Visual What I See
Wasn't Nothing Funny
Running In The Streets
Close Your Eyes
And Witness A G
That's On The Rise
Doing What I Gotta Do
To Survive
Close Your Eyes
Trying To Make Sense Of this Life

On The Right
Close Your Eyes
And Picture Me Doing The Things

Open Your Eyes
And See It's Come True

[Interlude]
(Laughs)
Yeah
I'm Feeling This Shit Right Here
Close Your Eyes
I Mean Its 2012
You Know What I Mean
Trying To Live Life
My Homies Are Getting Out
Trying To Raise Their Kids
I Mean My Kids Are Doing Good
I'm A Proud Dad
My Son Just Got In Football
Thats How It Goes Down
They're Looking For A Change
But Ain't No One Bringing It To Em
2012 Mr. Criminal
For The Future
And This From The Heart
I Just Wanna Let Everybody Know Real Quick
I Made This Song Close Your Eyes
So You Could Let Everybody Know
You Could Beat Any Muthafucking Odd
Thats The Way It Goes
I Come Against All Odds
My Mom Came To This Country
And Didn't Even Know English
Like I'm Pretty Sure
Most Of Your Parents Didn't
But We Come Against All Odds
And We Survive
Close Your Eyes
You're Going Through A Struggle Right Now
Close Your Eyes
And Know There's Gonna Be A Better Day
Close Your Eyes
If You're In A Cell Right Now
Know That One Day You're Gonna Get Out
Future's On The Horizon
Close Your Eyes
You A Pregnant Female
And Ain't Got a Baby's Dad
Sit There And Take Care Of Em
