SoulChef, Tunji - When I Close My Eyes lyrics

When I close my eyes when I close my eyes
And everything's alright
And I drift away (drift away)
Drift away, drift away

When I close my eyes when I close my eyes
And everything's alright
And I drift away (drift away)
Drift away, drift away

Still I rise, still I rise
They try to clip my wings, but still I fly
They try to bring me down and kill my high
They took away my crown
Trying to steal my pride
But it just me stronger
And even though them days got longer
I learned some vital lessons when
I made those wrong turns
I'm grateful for the painful things
That forced me to grow
Because now I know to head straight
At that fork in the road
And I'm a fortunate soul
Because I learned from the best
They told me just work on your music
And you'll earn your respect
But the product I promoted
Watch it turn to a cheque
And every time you rock the mic
You reach your personal best
But sometimes, this life is too much for me
I should be living in an
Effing life of luxury
Because the limit is the sky
But I struggle to survive
So when it gets too hard
I just close my eyes

When I close my eyes when I close my eyes
And everything's alright
And I drift away (drift away)
Drift away, drift away

When I close my eyes when I close my eyes
And everything's alright
And I drift away (drift away)
Drift away, drift away

Yo, I rise with the sun in the early morning
Facing this world we born in
My mind's swirling, storming
Working until the words be forming
People tell me that the sky is the limit
But, I'm living for right now
Because I could die any minute
This life is turning the page, earning a wage
Learning to stay firm in your ways
Burning with rage
Learning only for the lessons
Not concerned with the grades
And roaming lonely through this
Californian urban decay
They always told me play in your work
Work your play
Be a man, stay strong when it hurts to stand
If you love something and it's
Really worth a damn
Then you should always feel the
Passion like you first began
So here I am, my eyes on what's next
Imma fight until the death
The pride of the West inside of my chest
I manoeuvre through the cries and the sweat
The lies and regrets
And when it gets too hard
I close my eyes and reflect

When I close my eyes when I close my eyes
And everything's alright
And I drift away (drift away)
Drift away, drift away

When I close my eyes when I close my eyes
And everything's alright
And I drift away (drift away)
Drift away, drift away

Sometimes I want to drift away
No more living in the past, got to live today
Sometimes I want to drift away
But, I got so much to do
So many things to say

Sometimes I want to drift away
No more living in the past, got to live today
Sometimes I want to drift away
But, I got so much to do
So many things to say
