Enänemus - 20/20 Vision Lyrics

My life story I tell straight from the heart
Umbilical cord wrapped around my neck a rough start
The nurse sent from the stars above stopped in the room
Removed the noose not a moment to soon
Or so I was told too young to remember
A typical cold day 3rd of November in Scotland
Fast forward 6 years old
Cause everything between that's just a mass of snow
But as I grow a curious kid apropos i did what had to
Took life slow followed the rules
Played my PlayStation games
Graffiti on plain paper can express my pain
Keeping it real for pretty much an average
I got picked on a little bit by a couple kids
But that was never any thing to be concerned about
Moved from NJ to down south
My pops was military so that made me a brat
The youngest of 3 you see I'm just stating the facts
My moms took us to church and Sunday school
Taught us to cook and clean and to pay our dues
Thanks moved from Mississippi to DC to south Florida
Where I discovered I could rap at least sort of
Begin of a long road no matter how bold
Never know if you can reach your goal

Open your eyes it's time 20/20 vision
To see clear gotta take it back to the beginning
With no fear look my eyes and just listen
Pay attention witness 20/20 vision
Open your eyes it's time 20/20 vision
To see clear gotta take it back to the beginning
With no fear look my eyes and just listen
Pay attention witness 20/20 vision

Back to the manuscript written in first person switch
To middle-school I was starting to get nice words
They called me the living rhyme book
My Uncle Lamonte he taught me all about hooks
Next I learned how to record sequence tracks and mix
Skills that I wouldn't soon forget
From R&B and rap to pop music
My evolution one day would lead a revolution
I made it through high school cause my grades were good
I'm skipping a lot but eventually there I stood
Graduation facing my future recording engineer
Fledgling producer put artist on the back burner
Signed a wack publishing contract
But look at me now stealing my life back it's clear
With multi-platinum credentials
And even a grammy by 24 that was all on potential

Open your eyes it's time 20/20 vision
To see clear gotta take it back to the beginning
With no fear look my eyes and just listen
Pay attention witness 20/20 vision
Open your eyes it's time 20/20 vision
To see clear gotta take it back to the beginning
With no fear look my eyes and just listen
Pay attention witness 20/20 vision

As I conclude my recap I worked with some big names
But personally I wasn't searching for fame I guess
I really only have myself to blame
By 25 I was essentially I was out of the game
My eye was on raising a son then a daughter
Try to be a good man and follow my wife's orders
Hard workers gotta get them ends to meet
Unfortunately that means put your dream to sleep my pride
Cause me hide my collection of songs feeling jaded
And look at the studio frustrated
But time heals everything so they say
Gotta let past experiences helped pave the way
I laugh looking back as focus forward
The 2020 vision of myself is flawlessly listen kid
Never give up stay on the mission
Let your ambition define your futures decisions

Open your eyes it's time 20/20 vision
To see clear gotta take it back to the beginning
With no fear look my eyes and just listen
Pay attention witness 20/20 vision
Open your eyes it's time 20/20 vision
To see clear gotta take it back to the beginning
With no fear look my eyes and just listen
Pay attention witness 20/20 vision
