Story behind the song
A friend was talking with me about people taking things for granted, I thought it would make a good song.
Lyrics
Hook
Open up your eyes and look past distant skies,
If you can at least try, you will escape all the lies,
You don't have much time, let the wind pass through your mind,
I can see that you are blind to the truth that is divine,
Corruption smothers mankind, got evolution in rewind,
All you need is a sign for what you're searching you will find,
If you don't and you last long enough to feel stranded,
That's when all will come to surface from taking things for granted.
Verse1
I feel the enlightenment like Ive seen the light and sh**
I can't turn away no matter how hard I fight the grip
It's taking over my body and I feeling possessed
So many curves in the road that I don't know what's next
It's got my mind in a bind with thoughts prooving insanity
With acts of indiscretion causing all types of calamity's
Been going on for so long that I can't see the normality
Is it even possible to get back to reality
I think I need directions before I'm lost forever
I would look up at the stars but there's so much bad weather
It seems like I just keep going around in a circle
There's way to much information for me to work through
I don't know what to do and I don't know where I'm headed
Can't rid myself of this message that has been embedded
If I don't and I last long enough to feel stranded,
That's when all will come to surface from taking things for granted.

I can see that you are blind to the truth that is divine,

All you need is a sign for what you're searching you will find,

That's when all will come to surface from taking things for granted.
Verse2
I see many things that no one else can see,
Better believe I take advantage of every bit that I need,
At one point it engulfed me in greed,
Not realising it until it was too late to receed,
I guess it's hard to open up my eyes and see past distant skies,
I'm not one of these other guys covered in a thousand lies,
Who I am is not something I am willing to hide,
Welcome to this wild ride that I happen to call my life,
It seems a constant gamble but there's nothing I can't handle,
Fight my way through all the scandles instead of becoming another example,
Dismantle the traditional sense of where a hood can go,
After everything in your life has literaly become a show,
From sellin weed and dope to doing music for who I know,
My people love how I flow so how the hell can I tell'em no,
If I don't and I last long enough to feel stranded,
That's when all will come to surface from taking things for granted.

Verse3
Most of my life I took the whole world for granted,
Now I understand it and can't even fix the damage,
You never know what you have until it's too late,
Don't let chances slip away as the moment hits your plate,
Choose your fate without mistake cause some things just can't wait,
Things you can not recreate some day regret will take their place,
In a state of denial while I disregard the truth,
Later on is the future where now I see the proof,
What do I do to improve all the messes that I've caused,
Love lossed trust was tossed and now I'm forced to pay the cost,
Learn your lessons as their taught and the wisdom will be brought,
Along the road wars are fought some are won and some are no
