lyrics

Afrikan Simba - Open Your Eyes

“open your eyes and you can see
everything that you wanna see
use your time so wisely
and you can be what you wanna be

some a dem there to go to heaven
some a dem live to leave a name
for some life is all so cushy
but for some it's worries and pain
I n I do a best to rep
those who find themselves voiceless
trying to make our heads and tales in disya city of craziness
always I n I making progress
seamless time you just cyaan halt
spending time jumping hoops sometime we haffi summersault
snakes out there got nothing on me
I got the flexibility
Jah is always guiding I has always got his hand on mi

open your eyes and you can see
everything that you wanna see
use your time so wisely
and you can be what you wanna be

some say the sky is our limit
I n I sought for the stratosphere
searching up the under-stars
man it's sure it's dark out there
now here comes the shining light
shining to make your pathway bright
time for I n I to reach out, hold another and be a guide
Jah still be the ultimate
this is one thing I cyaan forget
there is no reason to worry or fret
go thru life receive the bread
darkness cyaan invade this life
they will have to flee your side
jump of no no more fi ride
hypocrites and parasites

open your eyes and you can see
everything that you wanna see
use your time so wisely
and you can be what you wanna be

this is nah virtual
this is actual
this is nah fiction
this is factual
nothing writing
still contractual
all trouble shooting
cause of Emmanuel
who is in the Lion's Den?
that man Daniel
who is in the temple?
that man Samuel
Afrikan Simba with a different angle
no tongue twisting cyaan get tangled
see natty dreadlocks dem just a dangle
natty inna turban, robes and sangle
beat kette drum, babylon dismantle
all wicked kingdom must get crumble
trod pon Jah road as a clean and humble
pon Jah Jah road we nah walk and stumble
no wickedness Ras nah fumble
so in the bottomless pit we nah tumble”
