YOUR EYEZ R CLOSED

INTRO:
Sense:
“The true essence of your soul couldn’t match the greed in gold. Pure perfection is like a story that an old man told.
Let the truth unfold. If you listen to the words they’ve shown. The ignorance is questioned as I hear your tone.
Move ahead! Go for all knowledge owned! If Your Eyez R Closed, continue to impose.
But remember: Don’t fear what you don’t know!”
Ryan: “Yeah, that’s right! Never fear what you don’t know! Keep your eyez shown on everything that you do.
Lyrical Theory!”
Elknz: “2002!”
Ryan: “Suspects in the War of Hip Hop! Coming to you once again!”
Sense: “Sense! —To all my Voyagers!”
Ryan: “That’s right!”
Elknz: “Elkinz! Emphisis… on… the “E!”
Ryan: “That’s right! Monarch is in the house! Coming to you live & direct! One time! Your Eyez R Closed!”
(Echoing: “Your Eyez R Closed!” x2)

VERSE 1:
Ryan:
Aimless, imperceptive, lack of inner visions, can’t balance up level to my rhythmic composition.
Your blind! The lyrical mastermind stands before you until my body hits the chalk line.
Couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face. (Search) Searching for your skills but then found no trace.
Lost in delusion, your thoughts deplored. Seek the indefinite search for more!
Lyricized supplies. Them mics synchronized. Theorized. Each individualized.
Through transfixion. Verbal idolizing addiction. Don’t front this, unless you wish the scourge of affliction.
Within the gift lies a quick to test. If we battle for the mic, take a fathomless breath.
Contemplate. Keep an eye on your trusting friends. If you blinked, open up your eyez again!

CHORUS:
Your Eyez R Closed! Don’t know which way to go! Don’t fear what you don’t know!
You gotta keep your eyez shown to be number #1 on the microphone!

VERSE 2:
Sense:
When I start my part, my lecture turns to art. The pleasure of the underground raises a spark.
With the heavy intention only one to embark. The question of the realist, “who is the first one to spark?” (The realist.)
Can’t hold the end of your part. As I queer the pitch. Couldn’t comprehend the moment of the switch. 
The immense competition starts to get intense, but what’s that to a man who keeps his “Sense?”
The powers over turn. Pure thought I yearn. Lyrics come out as I toss & turn.
Blessed with the gift that I’ve yet to earn. Microphone, I’ll never leave you “lone.”
Love you “long time” ‘cause you keep me in my zone. Full-stated rhymes that’s what I’ve shown!
The tracks evidence, leaves a high monument. Seek any trace of confidence.

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3:
Ryan:
Yo, Sense! Let me break it down for a minute. Everybody’s down if they think they can win it.
Suppose those chose to expose their minds. Read between the lines, and find truth in my rhymes.
Sense:
For example, first moment to shine. They might find out that they haven’t been blind.
Now your looking for a sign—not hard to find! What’s measures to a ruler if it had no lines?
Ryan:
Self-revelations, pro-contradicted. How you gonna see if your sights restricted?
Focus in the present to ascend in your prime. One time in position—I’ll never resign!
Sense:
Yo, you gotta stay shown to see through the lies. You can’t see through them if you close your eyes.
Alright, now watch as the Sun we rise. Don’t blink, or it just might pass you by! (Echoing: Pass you by! x2)

BRIDGE:
Your Eyes R Closed! x3
You can’t see if Your Eyez R Closed!

REPEAT CHORUS
