Eyes Closed Video (MV)

Now close your eyes first
Clo-close your eyes now
What do you see?
Too blind to see the bigger picture
Too blind to focus so you double down on all your slip ups
You never get it that the more you sleep the more you give up
I used to see myself as just a perpetual victim
I had to look at where I got my knowledge from
I had to drop and run
My life was not as fun
Thinking bad thoughts, like stop it son
On top of that my money was on E
On top of that Anxiety would be creeping on me
But hold up
I find a way out
It's a cold world
Leave you laid out
Some of my people wrong
Most of my people right
Another homie gone
Because another fight
But these days it's glorified
Ain't nobody horrified
Ignoring the damage until they're 45
And after the failure
And after the lies
You closing your eyes
'Cuz you chose to be blind
Sometimes I sit and think back
About my life so I kick back
Thinking bout the ones that didn't make it
Passing them in age I hope I don't become the ageless
See the dream's on us, there ain't no one to save us
It's our ego that hold us back from being greater
You see this world's cold, people operate without a soul
Then convince us that they woke
But I see them all as jokes
And they're laughing at us bro
We ain't serious, we lacking self control
They ain't hearing us? Take back the black vote
Play the game better, play 'til we really winning
You're independent but how many more can you make independent
See y'all done did it
Y'all brought out my Ultra Instinct
I'm breaking all of my limits
I know that you're so offended
I know what you're 'bout to say 'fore you say it
You playing chicken
Y'all know that your real power's in the numbers
But y'all don't see it, your eyes closed
Somebody come and pull me from this world now
I tried to duck it all, but even I'm worn out
I tried to shut it off, but we are at war now
I tried to save us so I've evened the score out
I want you to know, that I put my soul in this record
In an attempt to restore yours restorative effort
And I hope you get better
And I hope if you're losing hope you can go to this record
Heal your soul with this record
I mean look around you know it
Lots of us sick but afraid to show it
Lots of our businesses barely open
Addicted to phones can't even live in the moment
We're the most connected but our soul's stolen
A nation of the soulless
If someone dies who will notice
No empathy, we too busy keeping up with the Jones's
Free speech is over
Masculinity over
Free thinking is over
Eyes closed it's over
Ok, headphones off
Looks like you made it through the project
We're only about half way through
Most won't make it this far without skipping segments
Really
Yep. Most stop well before the message is complete
But we're at the end
It isn't stated anywhere that there are more segments
Yes, but after examining the subjects responses
I can conclude that this "Ego project" did NOT have it's intended effect
Hmm... So what do we do now
Let's play the segments in reverse order to achieve the true meaning of the project
True meaning
Yes. The project may take a different meaning
Once the segments are played in reverse order starting with...
The Survival segment by Tex The Great
But... it also may not
Ah, I see. But what of us doctor
Well for now, our job is done
If the patient doesn't make it through the rest
We record the data, and allow the patient to continue their destructive cycle
All funds and data will be given to the creator for the next project
Perhaps the sharing of this project will help
Now... to you... Your willingness to participate is greatly appreciated
As with other projects, once complete
It is perfectly acceptable to share this project with those who may need it
With that out of the way, this is where we say our goodbyes
To all of you who spent time with this project
Thank you. Thank you for listening
