And it goes like
[Verse 1: Ervin Mitchell]
Wake up in the morning with a lack of motivation
Caught up in between adolescence and occupations
One tear for the world, it's the essence of my complications
Pray to God that he forgives all of my arrogant proclamations
All I promised was good times and conversation
But when they fall I always feel some type of obligation
I tried tellin' myself that she was just another girl
Inserted a clip and aimed a pistol at her world
Pow, pow
But I don't associate with gunplay
I just fell in love with the sound a gun makes
It's a cold ass world, but the merciful sun bakes
Looking at the father, I see why his son ached
Drownin' all our pain in a bottle of heartaches
Facin' all my fears, cause that's what it's gon' take
It's a simple fact of life, that people are gon' hate
Just as long as you don't break
For as long as it's gon' take, ugh
[Chorus]
Open up your mind to the sound that your soul makes
The truth about greatness is that we are all great
I'm speakin' life into existence, I'm the best rapper alive
They told us we would fail, but we takin' em' by surprise (x2)
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Yeah
That nigga say they closed, why the sign say they open
Puffin' on this marijuana just to help wit' copin'
Had dreams of personas I had trouble upholdin'
Interludes of materialism (x2)
[Instrumental]
Interludes of materialism
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
And it goes like
Meanwhile, my soul cries
Wipe the tears from my eyes
Meanwhile, my soul cries
My soul cries (x2)
And it goes like
Meanwhile, my soul cries
Wipe the tears from my eyes
Meanwhile, my soul cries
My soul cries (x2)
Open up your mind (echoes)
