Opia

[Intro: Malcolm London] Opia The ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye Which can feel both invasive and vulnerable [Chorus: Jamila Woods (Malcolm London)] You're a mess young boy, you're a mess young boy (I'm a mess, I'm a mess, I'm a mess, I'm a mess) Open your eyes, open your eyes Open your eyes [Verse 1: Malcolm London] I just see it different Oranges and apples One nation under God Foreclosing the chapel Everybody's sinning while they pointing fingers High horse getting straddled Even I'll snake, If my baby need a rattle One day he gon' detox like Dr Dre dropping Detox They say one day he gon' detox He ain't gon' detox, nah They only see depression when they see the scars Thinking you a big fish they don't see you dreaming in a pond Here we go [Bridge: Jamila Woods (Malcolm London)] Open your eyes and see (Opia) All you have is all you need Open your eyes and see (Opia) All you have is all you need [Chorus: Jamila Woods (Malcolm London)] (Praying for telekinesis) You're a mess young boy, you're a mess young boy (Telekinesis for all my neices) Open your eyes, open your eyes) Open your eyes [Verse 2: Malcolm London] I'm an Ethiopic claustrophobic, my city atrocious Think our violence is bad, our politicians is bogus My insurance don't cover all the drugs that I'm dosing Don't need diagnosis to see prognosis is hopeless Optometrist, optimist seeing optical opposites Two sides of my city seeing opposite obstacles They Blink 182, when I blink 187 All my dogs been to jail, we just waitin' to go to heaven We ain't gotta touch for eye contact Suicide, where my mind run laps Be careful not to wash up on shore You can still drown running from sharks Hey Iron Man, they don't want Tony Stark Say you wanna be Mr. 106 & Park Bow Wow, crowds, now Italian brows, scowl, clowns, Ciao Go and open up your eyes Take a walk in shoes not your size Chance made the Grammys all online I'mma take the westside all worldwide We can change the world with a whole sixteen Niggas think it's sweet like they all sixteen You Buy, Buy, Buy but you ain't N'Sync I been a strategist since age fifteen [Break] Look me in my eyes And tell me what's inside Though my frame move too fast sometimes For my heart to catch up, but that's alright [Outro: Jamila Woods (Malcolm London)] Open your eyes and see (Opia) All you have is all you need Open your eyes and see (Opia) Open your eyes
