Third Eye Open

These snakes have taken my sight, but never my vision of mind.

By ~Awakened~Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Cross my heart and hope to pay 'cause life has been too taxing

Lady Luck's been raising rent and lately I've been fapping

Unemployed, I don't wanna vacate so I guess I'll keep on rapping

Romanticized I am not, but that's the game that I deal in

I'll pay the bills but voices tell me I'm better off just stealing

I don't fuck with that, so I'll hit the sack and pray to God that I made it

Don't fuck with Drake, don't fuck with Uzi, don't fuck with all of you haters

Niggas be hittin' licks with the industry and callin' themselves real

Real fake that is 'cause a single beat doesn't make your label OG

Niggas be thinking they God, with the blasphemy they been spittin

But it's already been written, that your kind is meant to be slitherin'

Back to Eden I go, where the snakes can no longer fol-low

Me

"If I had a dime for every fuck that I didn't give

Everyone in the world would call me a sellout."

About the Creator

~Awakened~

I'm just an artist trying to express myself in any way that feels comfortable. Try not to cringe too hard as you embark on a fruitless journey through my old works that I post here sometimes.
