lyrics
INTRO:
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air
Lemme see ya' hands in the air if you feel a'ight
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air
Lemme see ya' hands in the air's what I'm feelin' like...
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air
Lemme see ya' hands in the air if you feel a'ight
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air
Lemme see ya' hands in the air!
VERSE:
Now who that college kid, straight from the burbs
Kicking knowledge like, light to the earth?
I'm educating
Tryna show my people they been pimped on the curb by Wall Street across from White House Boulevard, and Apple Ave
The system's corners been where y'all workin at
Corporate structure got your soul ruptured, your sugar dad been beating you bad
Hypnotized and blind
But if you grab my hand, I'll open yo' mind
(Open your mind homie!)
It's liberation, ugh
CHORUS:
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air
Lemme see ya' hands in the air if you feel a'ight
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air,
Lemme see ya' hands in the air what I'm feelin' like
Now which one willing to open your mind?
Huh?
Tell me
Now which one willing to open your mind?
VERSE:
Awestruck, life got me stuck staring, we all suck, paralysis of analysis...
My generation been shaping my analyzation, I hate it, we all corrupt, aye
The holy water been clearing the dirt out my eyes,
The holy water been helping my soul and my mind, can't say much for my body
A skinny body beats anybody that's following everybody
Like y'all need Jesus
I suggest you fill your cup with what his body was bleeding
Got a book I been reading
Stand for something or fall for lack of believing
Let us purchase your freedom
I know folk in jail cells freer than you
Ain't seeing the demons thats scheme against you
(Word?)
You need the Good Book
I'm tryna leave an impression, not come off impressive, my homie this for your good
Now take this message
Soon as you join the gang, we gone start this session
We tryna change thangs....
CHORUS:
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air
Lemme see ya' hands in the air if you feel a'ight
Now lemme see ya' hands in the air,
Lemme see ya' hands in the air what I'm feelin' like
Now which one willing to open your mind?
Huh?
Tell me
Now which one willing to open your mind?
OUTRO:
