Open your eyes.
It’s not that hard.
You’d think I was asking
For your bank card.
You like to think that you’re smart,
And you’re above all of us.
When I call out your friends,
You’re like, “What’s the fuss?”
You say that I’m wrong
When I show you the facts.
When you get scared,
It’s just attack, attack, attack.
You like to call me names
Like this is some game,
Like if you say it enough,
It’ll just go away.
You say I’m ignorant,
But the ignorant one is you.
I really can’t blame you;
It’s what you were raised to do.
Ignorance isn’t a state of mind;
It’s a state of being.
You shouldn’t use words
When you don’t know their meanings.
You like to sit in the dark
And wonder if I’m right,
So why don’t you open your eyes
And turn on the lights?
It’s not that hard.
