Close Yours Eyes feat. Azzie

Every day i turn on the TV watching all the violence
so many dying, another moment of silence
we gotta change this, not rearrange this
or wish i'll forever remain nameless
are we brainless , we fly aimless
with no direction, no police protection
here's my suggestion: kill the egos
then hold the benefits, we can reap those
if you have a dream you can easily reach that
be who you want, never stop and look back
champions win, losers just complain
don't be a spectator you gotta play the game
but if you play the game you gotta change the game
extraordinary, never remain the same
nobody said life was going to be easy
but i'm living proof ya'll please believe me
oh i wish there was a place that i could find
to shield you from the pain
that you will see
in this lifetime
for now, just close your eyes
oh i wish there was a place that i could find
to shield you from the pain
that you will see
in this lifetime
for now, just close your eyes
it's like i'm on one knee and asking lord to save us
and give thanks for all the things you gave us
and turn around and go and rob our neighbor
and don't that sound just so outrageous
man we so misdirected
having *** unprotected
so we spend 24 hours a day on blackberries
cuz we feel so disconnected
now check it
we buy the latest kicks
but cant keep our phone on
and rock sean johns sleeping on the futon
mercedes benz but still living in projects
we got toilets but we still piss on our steps
man, i can't begin to explain what types ofthoughts running through our brains
mercedes getting hard to maintain
then we let go and pump poison into our veins, it's insane
i wish there was a place i could fly
where the world didnt need to cry
so now we just look to the sky
hoping now we make it
we only get one chance, hoping now we take it
i wish there was a place i could fly
where the world didnt need to cry
so now i just look to the sky
hoping now we make it
we only get one chance, hoping now we take it
oh i wish there was a place that i could find
to shield your heart from the pain
that you will see
in this lifetime
for now, just close your eyes
oh i wish there was a place that i could find
to shield your heart from the pain
that you will see
in this lifetime
for now, just close your eyes
