Open Your Eyes

Naturally 7

I wanna know the truth 
I wanna know the deepest meanings 
You need to give me proof 
I need to know that I'm not dreaming 
I see those silly things 
I see the things that we go after 
But I can feel the strings 
I can feel the puppet master 

Can't sleep, can't trust no one 
Can't eat, unless I know where that's from 
One eye wide, one eye shut 
One eyes spies, who-where-what 

You gotta read between the lines 
You gotta dig real deep sometimes 
You gotta read the writing on the wall for signs 
(Come on) Open your eyes 

I wanna know the time 
And I don't need no watch to do dat 
I wanna know the rhyme 
And the reason why you choose that 
Detect the lies 
And read above the average 
Can ya feel their vibe 
Can ya read their body language 
 
Send a message to Mary (really?) 
Na! She can't hear me 
Caught up in tradition, my conspiracy theory 
This ain't somethin' outta' book 
It's real life, it ain't fiction 
But the plot is complicated, (like "The Wire") 
Are you listening? 
You owe dat, you know dat 
But tell me who wrote dat? 
Manufactured in a darkroom 
Developed like Kodak 
You gon' tell me like you mean it 
But I ain't never seen it 
You gon' hand me a script to read 
But I'm a' read between it.
