Blue Scholars - Wounded Eyes lyrics
[Blue Scholars - Wounded Eyes lyrics]
Sendin' this one out alright yo, yo, yo
My wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die
Who am I? A student, I study to survive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die who am I? A student
I'm listening to the music of the countryside
Circling the city for the victory
Liquor shop philosophy: scary, but necessary
Pops was a military man, and seein' what
It did to him and fam
It was never in my plans
My method is one hand open and one fisted
Skin burnt like the sun kissed it
Consistently committed to community-building
They could never put the theory into practice
Who are they to be illin'? I made a killing
Not for profit but respect
And unless it's for a benefit
You better cut the check
Dude, compensations for the blood
And the sweat, see I do for my people cause
I love 'em to death
In my geography, you gotta be smart, boss
It's crucial
Paranoid, don't smoke as much as I used to
Even more broke than before we made music
But maybe one day we'll get through it
Now, my wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die
Who am I? A student, I study to survive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die
Who am I? A student, I study to survive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many brutalized
So we rise and fight for the future we strive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die who am I? A student
Observing my environment to see
Contradictions in concrete conditions
Evidence we're living in an
Obsolete system, poverty-stricken
Folks constantly live in hope
American dreams danglin' from a rope
I got folks working in
The public school sector
Who lose one youth to death per semester
I guess the cost of living is going up
While the chance of living is going down
What the fuck is the basis?
I'm saying never no more, the
Solution for the poor
Recruit 'em for the war
They kicked in the door, waving the 45
Cal, one million died, I survived, now alive
I reside where the struggle and the hustle
Coincide, and this moment in time
A shift in the tide
Get the blindfold lifted from your eyes
And see what we see
And stop pretending it's all right man
My wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die
Who am I? A student, I study to survive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die
Who am I? A student, I study to survive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many brutalized so we rise and we fight
For the future we strive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die who am I? Who am I yo?
I'm sending this one out
My wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die
Who am I? A student, I study to survive
Wounded eyes seen through the lies
Many soon to die who am I? A student
I'm listening to the music of the countryside
Circling the city for the victory
Liquor shop philosophy: scary, but necessary
Pops was a military man, and seein' what
