LYRICS: As I open up my eyes And finally see the world I discover victory And the sun is in my face Hey yo Black and white cinema Picture the profile with a black gold child Back with a vengeance From the rags to the riches Reminiscin' back when this shit was mad twisted If we rapped then they dissed it like it's crap Cause they wish the height in blacks wouldn't grown but nah - We takin' over game is over hit the door We done made it out the gates Made a culture that you praise Gettin' throwin' makin' videos to wave it in your face Coldest days been as made men soldiers in the game Then again it's probably payin' holdin' those you wanna brain Like. They's gettin' racist in the days of colored ganstas We angels with dirty faces, fallin' off the pavement If we ball good you paid us If we talked hood you played us But it's all good - They play us all day on they playlist Get your brakes fixed Breakin' chairs anytime they play this Take it back where cultivated ages makin' papers Fix your faces The haters want to take us out to dinner now Sit us down with shiny plates and make us feel richer now Shit is foul as fuck and we finally makin' bucks And the bills is gettin' paid, but - The shame is pilin' up Get the picture now? Well this is how you change that Flip the style put it out and bang that, come on As I open up my eyes And finally see the world I discover victory And the sun is in my face Hey yo As I open up my eyes And finally see the world I discover victory And the sun is in my face Hey yo It's that 'Ach shit Ride with us Dealin' with your boy Blu make money The D is for the - Los Angeles Across land sit your pants stand up Fly with us Fly with us Hot niggas ride through the sky with us Fly with us Fly with us Hot niggas ride through the sky, come on As I open up my eyes And finally see the world I discover victory And the sun is in my face

I wonder where all these people are now. Do they have wives/husbands and kids? Imagine showing them this video of this hidden gem they were in! If any of the people in the video still come to this let us know how you're doing!! This was the first Blu song I ever came across during my high school days in South Central. I always thought I related more with Blu out of all the other rappers I listened to because he was from Inglewood and I was from Baldwin Hills (a.k.a. The Jungles) which were literally next to each other. I hope to one day meet Blu and tell him how much he's inspired me as a lyricist at such a young age. If you're reading this Blu thank you, and thank you too Exile for the perfect beats to match Blu's style of raw bars over smooth jazz beats 💯

#Legendsneverdie

#Respect #SaveHipHop I AM Joey Delvano.

perfection.

Thanks Blu and Dilla and Miguel

2021 blu one of the best mcs of all time

Dopeness track, respect from Brazil. ❤️

I never heard of dude. Drinks Champs brought me here. Blu is dope. 🔥

Wow how tf i been sleeping on this wish i woulda found this in 2006

I was searching for this video forever. So hard to find his songs by just searching “blu” into KZbin. One of the realest to ever do it.

Memories....used to be on repeat in 08.

Blu is probably one of the most slept on and under appreciated emcees of all time.

YEAH

Always my favorite

2020-2021 doesn't matter this is the dopest level of hip hop for all years

Rest in Peace Dilla Dawg 🥺 damn what would he gives us for Music when he not die too early.......damn he was a Master a Legend a Man who makes Music cause of the Love of Music and not cause of the Love of the Money.......but J. Dilla will lives forever true His Music

still pouring beer

Who still here bumping this in 2021?

i’ve loved this song since high school. “building walls around the ignorance defending what’s wrong instead of fighting for freedom, that’s why i only write what i believe in”
