Richboy J - Eyez Clozed

They don't wanna see a black man make a come up
They don't wanna see me heating up, like it's the summer
They don't wanna see me doing better, that's some bum love
They don't wanna see us live our lives, police stay gunned up
They don't wanna see me with my crown and be a king
They don't wanna see me living out all of my dreams
They don't wanna see me with a happy family
Well they best close yo eyes or else that's what they gonna see

They don't wanna see me reach success cuz I ain't graduate
They don't wanna see making bread less I work day to day
They don't wanna be the living change that's why they stuck in their ways
Stress weighing on my brain now I don't medicate I meditate
Spazzing on tracks, put my mind on the wax
I can't ever look back, I can't ever relapse
Stress on levels, I need to relax
And my folks tell me slow down, I'm moving too fast
But in other ways I've moving too slow
Tryna find patience it takes time to grow
Tryna stay up when this world feels so low
Wish life was a beat so I'd know how to flow
Clean up my act, this immaculate
Murder each beat ain't no accidents
I found a light that's shining so bright
Ain't no darkness that's snatching it
This light is mine for the tapping in
I struck a nerve I'm too accurate
When I have ideas they attacking it
They say life ain't fair, well now I don't care
That's a gift to myself and I'm rapping it

They don't wanna see a black man make a come up
They don't wanna see me heating up, like it's the summer
They don't wanna see me doing better, that's some bum love
They don't wanna see us live our lives, police stay gunned up
They don't wanna see me with my crown and be a king
They don't wanna see me living out all of my dreams
They don't wanna see me with a happy family
Well they best close yo eyes or else that's what they gonna see

I got love for you all so I can't keep pretending
Serve it up raw hope you don't get offended
I know that with some this gone blemish my image
I pray you don't judge me, I pray that you listen
It's deeper than skin that covers our sin
It's more bout the energy we have within
The fights not external, the battles inside
No we can't be chained when we unlock our mind
You were made special so gone and embrace it
So Be the best you cuz there ain't no replacement
There ain't no adjacent, so don't be complacent
Stay on your path and don't fall to temptation
Don't follow others, find you, you're amazing
So please don't be hurt by whoever is hatin'
Darkness sees light and it's gone try to break it
Hurt people hurt people no matter the races
I got jumped by my own during a march felt betrayed
So I pull up the next march with something to say
Guess they liked what they heard, so then I lead the way
Said that we can be better, need love on this day
And no one arrested you know I don't play
But shawty pulled up tried to claim I was fake
And people on Twitter spread lies on my name
I just speak love I don't care if they hate

They don't wanna see a black man make a come up
They don't wanna see me heating up, like it's the summer
They don't wanna see me doing better, that's some bum love
They don't wanna see us live our lives, police stay gunned up
They don't wanna see me with my crown and be a king
They don't wanna see me living out all of my dreams
They don't wanna see me with a happy family
Well they best close yo eyes or else that's what they gonna see
