Heads Up Eyes Open Lyrics - Talib Kweli

Take it to the top 

Yea, that's where we at with it 

Take it to the top 

Just cause you are a character 

Don't mean you have character 

We taking stock right now 

You ready? Let's go 

A wise man know what he know and what he doesn't 

If he's not really sure what he's saying, he don't discuss it 

A righteous man walks the earth without judgment 

And loves his enemies enough to deliver justice 

A pious man relies on religion for his direction 

At times he introspective, but his biblehood never questioned 

A dying man will make a confession, try to get into heaven 

Thinking his lifestyle is blocking his blessing 

A violent man will stock up on weapons and go to war for his 

Get post-traumatic stress disorder, become an officer 

A man of peace uses his words in different mediums 

He'll bleed for his beliefs practicing civil disobedience 

An honest man knows only liars are scared of the truth 

His word is his bond, but his action's always the proof 

A faithful man never need evidence to believe 

But still he gotta work for the blessings that he receives 

Let's go

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

Sometimes it's hard to believe 

In what you don't see or understand 

But the picture is so much bigger 

Than what we could even imagine 

It's hard to feel better 

When the weight of the world make you feel sadder 

Put your faith into action 

Heads up and eyes open 

Top tier niggas blossomed in the basement 

All the nights that we were lacking those refreshments 

Rain down, thunder storm with the flows 

Articulate with the bounce, now I'm back like I'm Derrick Rose 

Once the one on the bench with the snotty nose 

Nefertiti would hold me when I was cold 

Communion Sunday, my twenties went in the bowl 

Forgive me lord for them bitches the night before 

Business deals and these Bentleys I can't afford 

Gotta be the example for children to do their chores 

Blowing weed smoke on the cover of The Source 

Rolling Stones would've thought I was the boss 

Fallen soldier on his own so we march 

Roll up a bag of that weed, therefore I spark 

Recite the Quran, I'm in the dark 

Devil knocking on my door, he like a narc 

Photos 

Sometimes it's hard to believe 

In what you don't see or understand 

But the picture is so much bigger 

Than what we could even imagine 

It's hard to feel better 

When the weight of the world make you feel sadder 

Put your faith into action 

Heads up and eyes open 

No excuses, if I start it then I'll see it through 

God is what I see in you, so you might as well believe in you 

Think what you see on TV's true? The media deceiving you 

They misrepresenting, misquoting then they misleading you 

Belief is a funny thing, in case you're wondering 

If they want the ring, they coming for the throne like they the sons of kings 

These average rappers is acting up for the dough 

Yea I tell you what I believe, but I back it up with what I know 

It's the facts versus the facts simile, your raps killing me 

My last victory was great moments of Black history 

I celebrated with a bottle I just brought back from Italy 

And some loud, I got super packs like I backed Hillary 

Lost in desire, I walked through the devil's fire 

I inspire the resurrection of kings like Hezekiah 

The trust you put in me to be a beast with this rhyming 

That's where the rubber meets the road 

And where your faith meets science 

Let's go 

Sometimes it's hard to believe 

In what you don't see or understand 

But the picture is so much bigger 

Than what we could even imagine 

It's hard to feel better 

When the weight of the world make you feel sadder 

Put your faith into action 

Heads up and eyes open 

Take it to the top, take it to the top 

Take it to the top, take it to the top 

Take it to the top, take it to the top
