10:24
Under covers at the front door
A minuite later
The violators cuffed
Face on the floor
And it was Fingers
Little Chico ratted
And said he had it
The murder weapon
An how he blasted
That other black kid
The cops grabbed it
Bagged and tagged it
Black on Blacks like a magnet
An tragic
And Life
Automatic
To picture the graphic
That's what the judge gave
He gonna die a slave-
In a cage

Open your eyes
Young child of mine
Cuz it's a sign of the time
When you see the blind leading the blind
Open your eyes
Life's so divine
But it's a sign of the Time
When my brotha tryna take mine

Yo
So tell me
What you really think is going on here
Cuz every day of every yea
Niggaz
Disappear
Shots cut the air
Innocent victims lacerated
Sentence debated
But can't change it
Regardless of the statement
And that Life
You can't replace it
Not with restitution
Conversion to religion
Or even prison
If it's given
What kind of world is this we living' in
Raising our children in
We gotta build wit em
Cuz these mean streets is filled wit em
And so is the system
Feeling' like god dissed em
But he is them
Knowledge my wisdom
He is them
And I think you should know
Cuz the more you know
The more that you can grow

Open your eyes
Young child of mine
Cuz it's a sign of the time
When you see the blind leading the blind
Open your eyes
Life's so divine
But it's a sign of the Time
When my brotha tryna take mine

What happened to your vision- And your insight
Lost your stripes
Fell off the plight of life
That's why we kings but living' like mice
And we still can't get it right
Fight each other for spite
Divide and conquer the light
Love the drama and hype
But still
It ain't getting' us no further
With genocide and murder
From Alberta
To Parkdale
This trend don't fail
We hate the face in the mirror
Is this picture getting' clearer
Cuz it's real B
This ain't T.V
You feeling' me
It's detrimental for your mental
So I build at will
Wit pen or pencil
Draw it up black
It's right and exact
Like stencil
Accapella
Instrumental
We all special
And precious
So let's just
Honour the life cycle and
Get your site again
Stop trifling
Put down the rifle King
The devil's stunting' our growth
An we tryna cut each others throats
Young child of mine

Open your eyes
Young child of mine
Cuz it's a sign of the time
When you see the blind leading the blind
Open your eyes
Life's so divine
But it's a sign of the Time
When my brotha tryna take mine
