[Intro]

Open on the lights, the mics, the turning the table

Sound systems peak with breaks and beats

This jack cuts, sucks up rocks

Running on tracks of physical fitness

Sit-ups and stretches, breathing exercises

Compresses five minutes a second

Never forgetting to get everything one can get


[Verse 1]

The name is Get Open, now we're three years old

We wrapping rhymes around beats so they don’t get cold

Scoop a loops, bazooka, freak 'em out, add a beat then I bust

Just love and simple jibble make the tracks that I trust

I open heads and use brains to butter my bread

While I'm picking bitches, MCs out of my boots, shreds

No compassion, my big bazooka sees action

I flow like the blood in a muscle, I keep contraction

And when I write a rhyme about how we get down

I flip it inside my skillet ’til it's golden brown

Now it's hot, the challenge is out for a title shot

Watch me forget the rules and go straight for the vital spots


[Chorus]

G.E.E.T.T.O.O.P.P.E.E.N.N

G.E.E.T.T.O.O.P.P.E.E.N.N


[Verse 2]

I had imported beers from Mexico, gas like Texaco

Pants low, like the ghetto, the cowboys

I came on the middle of the month, check day

And in the future life I'll probably pay

But who's to say, 'cause I'm right here today, hey—duck the spray

You want to see some smoke? See my man José

You want something stronger, you got to wait a little longer

Huh! so loud with the booming system

My man Mike been dead for three years and I still missed him

The Ampex 456 is to the mix

Watch the black truckers inside some dicks

The prayer beads bleed from the crucifix

G.E.T. Open waves like the N.E.T

Reporting status like an EKG

M.I.E.–S.T.E.R. be on, far beyond

Adaptive above norm, I transform

Move on you like the FOI, stay high

Above the law like the FBI

Electrified, sliding plates like earthquakes

On the wheels of steel, on the dogs with high stakes

See me on the CB, I be transmitting

Observing your system like the CIA

Foreplay, for intercourse with the FEMA

Open and close ecosystems like the USA


[Chorus]

G.E.E.T.T.O.O.P.P.E.E.N.N

G.E.E.T.T.O.O.P.P.E.E.N.N


[Verse 3]

Open, my rhymes so hot they smoking

Saturated my style, where the kerosene soaking

The burn—slow as a torch to the touch, they scorch flesh

Intertwining, they mesh to break beats

In ya like cleats and peat moss, and one with the Force

My style's gravy, and kids are lost in the sauce

It’s seven-course meal and they can’t deal

Niggas gorge themselves trying to stomach the words that I will

Hah, greedy jerk, that's why your belly hurt

You use an ice cream sound, I toast with maximum megahertz

All over the globe, I shine like a strobe

Blinding your mind and smacking up your prefrontal lobe (forget)

Open for discussion, form for debate

Bring my thoughts to the table so we can illustrate

The force of knowledge, Get Open reigns supreme

Bring it like Chris, live with the open scheme

Open dream for the later, motivator

Most common activator, ready for the major

Break through the fences, illuminate your senses

Woodstock style coming from the trenches

Of hip-hop but didn’t stop, no, I didn't quit

Nine years straight, about time to validate my coupons to success

Always kept to the hopin', now I'm on the list

Yo, check and dig Get Open
