When I Close My Eyes(feat. Tunji) - Soulchef/Tunji

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

And everything's alright

And I drift away drift away

Drift away I drift away

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

And everything's alright

And I drift away drift away

Drift away I drift away

Still I rise still I rise

They try to clip my wings but still I fly

They try to bring me down and kill my high

They took away my crown trying to steal my pride

But it just me stronger

And even though them days got longer

I learned some vital lessons when I made those wrong turns

I'm grateful for the painful things that forced me to grow

Because now I know to head straight at that fork in the road

And I'm a fortunate soul because I learned from the best

They told me just work on your music and you'll earn your respect

But the product I promoted watch it turn to a cheque

And every time you rock the mic you reach your personal best

But sometimes this life is too much for me

I should be living in an effing life of luxury

Because the limit is the sky but I struggle to survive

So when it gets too hard I just close my eyes

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

And everything's alright

And I drift away drift away

Drift away I drift away

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

And everything's alright

And I drift away drift away

Drift away I drift away

Yo I rise with the sun in the early morning

Facing this world we born in

My mind's swirling storming working until the words be forming

People tell me that the sky is the limit

But I'm living for right now because I could die any minute

This life is turning the page earning a wage

Learning to stay firm in your ways burning with rage

Learning only for the lessons not concerned with the grades

And roaming lonely through this Californian urban decay

They always told me play in your work work your play

Be a man stay strong when it hurts to stand

If you love something and it's really worth a damn

Then you should always feel the passion like you first began

So here I am my eyes on what's next

Imma fight until the death

The pride of the West inside of my chest

I manoeuvre through the cries and the sweat

The lies and regrets

And when it gets too hard I close my eyes and reflect

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

And everything's alright

And I drift away drift away

Drift away I drift away

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

And everything's alright

And I drift away drift away

Drift away I drift away

Sometimes I want to drift away

No more living in the past got to live today

Sometimes I want to drift away

But I got so much to do so many things to say

Sometimes I want to drift away

No more living in the past got to live today

Sometimes I want to drift away

But I got so much to do so many things to say
