Eyes Closed

Now close your eyes first Clo-close your eyes now What do you see? Too blind to see the bigger picture Too blind to focus so you double down on all your slip ups You never get it that the more you sleep the more you give up I used to see myself as just a perpetual victim I had to look at where I got my knowledge from I had to drop and run My life was not as fun Thinking bad thoughts, like stop it son On top of that my money was on E On top of that Anxiety would be creeping on me But hold up I find a way out It's a cold world Leave you laid out Some of my people wrong Most of my people right Another homie gone Because another fight But these days it's glorified Ain't nobody horrified Ignoring the damage until they're 45 And after the failure And after the lies You closing your eyes 'Cuz you chose to be blind Sometimes I sit and think back About my life so I kick back Thinking bout the ones that didn't make it Passing them in age I hope I don't become the ageless See the dream's on us, there ain't no one to save us It's our ego that hold us back from being greater You see this world's cold, people operate without a soul Then convince us that they woke But I see them all as jokes And they're laughing at us bro We ain't serious, we lacking self control They ain't hearing us? Take back the black vote Play the game better, play 'til we really winning You're independent but how many more can you make independent See y'all done did it Y'all brought out my Ultra Instinct I'm breaking all of my limits I know that you're so offended I know what you're 'bout to say 'fore you say it You playing chicken Y'all know that your real power's in the numbers But y'all don't see it, your eyes closed Somebody come and pull me from this world now I tried to duck it all, but even I'm worn out I tried to shut it off, but we are at war now I tried to save us so I've evened the score out I want you to know, that I put my soul in this record In an attempt to restore yours restorative effort And I hope you get better And I hope if you're losing hope you can go to this record Heal your soul with this record I mean look around you know it Lots of us sick but afraid to show it Lots of our businesses barely open Addicted to phones can't even live in the moment We're the most connected but our soul's stolen A nation of the soulless If someone dies who will notice No empathy, we too busy keeping up with the Jones's Free speech is over Masculinity over Free thinking is over Eyes closed it's over Ok, headphones off Looks like you made it through the project We're only about half way through Most won't make it this far without skipping segments Really Yep. Most stop well before the message is complete But we're at the end It isn't stated anywhere that there are more segments Yes, but after examining the subjects responses I can conclude that this "Ego project" did NOT have it's intended effect Hmm... So what do we do now Let's play the segments in reverse order to achieve the true meaning of the project True meaning Yes. The project may take a different meaning Once the segments are played in reverse order starting with... The Survival segment by Tex The Great But... it also may not Ah, I see. But what of us doctor Well for now, our job is done If the patient doesn't make it through the rest We record the data, and allow the patient to continue their destructive cycle All funds and data will be given to the creator for the next project Perhaps the sharing of this project will help Now... to you... Your willingness to participate is greatly appreciated As with other projects, once complete It is perfectly acceptable to share this project with those who may need it With that out of the way, this is where we say our goodbyes To all of you who spent time with this project Thank you. Thank you for listening
