Trynna put my life together picking up the pieces
Think about my life and if I wanna be this
Do I have feelings? Do I meaning?
Do I have a purpose? Am I just defeated?
Got this hunger stirring up know I need to feed it
Gonna push the boundaries of what it means to dream it
Got a goal achieve it bag full of healing
I need it, I'm feening, I mean it
Might not know how the story pans out
But I know I'll write it with the words out my mouth
Tarantino with the pen turning fiction into pulp
I'm convicted so I know my life and it's worth
That's why I write these words open up in a verse
Look at my life play back in reverse
Look to the future see the casket and hearse
I know where I've been so I know where I'm going

Eyes open but I swear they closed
Might've changed but I'm still ten toes
I leave them shook look like they froze
What's my future man who knows? All I know is I'm born to shine
Forget the past I'm getting mine
Open your eyes man can't you see that this my fate I'm meant to be
This ain't no game, this ain't no joke Don't want the fame, don't want no smoke
Just wanna live, leave me alone
Just leave me be, just let me see
Eyes open but I still can't see
Close them up and I start to dream
But this ain't no dream this reality
Hit the booth and I start to sing

Is that really true? Is that really you?
I know what I want but don't know how to get it
I give in forgetting this life that I'm living
Those are the words that are easy to say
Rather than put your soul into the race
Each step is a journey there's bound to be pain
But enjoy the moment cause no step is the same
Got a goal ahead I can see the red tape
Feel it in my heart that I know Imma make it
Might not be the greatest might not be famous
I'm bound to be hated but I'm not gonna fake it
This is not entertainment this is life in a song
Never knew it meant that much until it was gone
Learning right from wrong and I did a lot wrong
But how you gonna find you if you've never been lost?
Rejoice to the one who came back to the flock

Eyes open but I swear they closed
Might've changed but I'm still ten toes
I leave them shook look like they froze
What's my future man who knows? All I know is I'm born to shine
Forget the past I'm getting mine
Open your eyes man can't you see that this my fate I'm meant to be
This ain't no game, this ain't no joke Don't want the fame, don't want no smoke
Just wanna live, leave me alone
Just leave me be, just let me see
Eyes open but I still can't see
Close them up and I start to dream
But this ain't no dream this reality
Hit the booth and I start to sing

And right when I stopped acting how they wanted
They say I switched up like the rat from Departed
But I'm on it and I'm honest and I'm haunted not demonic but I harnessed all the energy built inside
And I put to a goal that they said would die
I can see it in my mind when I close my eyes
And I open up now and I see the light
Time to take my life back like hey I'm alive
Finding out my passion in the mansion
Open doors make it happen
This a fraction of the traction that I'm having
Gotta have it can you fathom that I have it
Can you stand it that I'm rapping
Can you stand it that I'm passing all masses while they laughing
Got the passage so I'm lasting but I mask it with the acting
Can you open your eyes and see the world as it is, tragic

Eyes open but I swear they closed
Might've changed but I'm still ten toes
I leave them shook look like they froze
What's my future man who knows? All I know is I'm born to shine
Forget the past I'm getting mine
Open your eyes man can't you see that this my fate I'm meant to be
This ain't no game, this ain't no joke Don't want the fame, don't want no smoke
Just wanna live, leave me alone
Just leave me be, just let me see
Eyes open but I still can't see
Close them up and I start to dream
But this ain't no dream this reality
Hit the booth and I start to sing
