lirik lagu krs-one - open your i
[intro]
open your i
the real you
get off the slave ship
[verse 1]
the culture made me
there isn’t too much that amaze me
there isn’t too much that can faze me
awoke and awake how i stay b
i’m freeing my people from slavery
while rappers are looking for slavery
losing their gravy, spitting the crazy
[?] new to these babies
knowledge reigning supreme and
look how i’m gleaming, never deceiving
steady achieving, better believe it
when i’m mcing i rock for a reason
i’m not with the treason, rappers be thieving
money is what they believe in
i’m bringing the heat, they’re bringing the freezin’
time to switch up the season
above and beyond, i’m way too advanced these rappers ain’t standing a chance
i give ’em a glance, they p~ssin their pants
i’m waking them up from their trance
i rock like an avalanche, in a battle stance i don’t have to dance
[?] the best one, it’s unanimous
now that i got your attention, here’s the direction
here’s what i came to mention
slavery is still in effect, it’s economic, prison is just an extension
free yourself from working for pension
free yourself from doubting and guessing
free yourself, your mind is a weapon
this ain’t a song it’s a lesson
[chorus]
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
[verse 2]
yo
time for my people to raise up
time for our leaders to face up
policies ain’t gonna save us
following them will enslave us
a black president did it change what
looking around it’s the same rut
so many people just say stuff
looking around like lame ducks
year after year it’s the same sh~t
“vote for me, i’m gonna change sh~t”
all of them read from the same script
look at this, this is some fake sh~t
they lying but you just take it
the lights and the flash they crave it
they teach the class to obey it
for real this is a slave ship
like citizenship is a slave ship
like scholarship, this is a slave ship
the way that we [?] sh~t, we going along with enslavement
you’ll never be free because they made you
you’re walking and talking like they do
it’s really exactly how slaves do, believing in sh~t that just ain’t true
this is the truth that will save you
this is the door to escape through
the music is just to relate to
but really they trying to break you
for real they trying to take you
cause slavery that’s what they do
you hate yourself ’cause they hate you
be the real you, not the fake you
[chorus]
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
you have got to open your eye
[outro]
open your i
the i that comes after h
your i
your being
open it up
aight let’s go to that next joint
give me something raw and hard
