Everybody is half dead
Everybody avoids everybody
All over the place, in most situations, most all the time
I know I'm one of those everybodies
And to me, it is terrible
And so all I'm trying to do all the time is just to open people up
So they can feel themselves and let themselves be open to somebody else

I get you open, emotions flowing freely
If I am everyone, then everyone can be me
If I am no one, y'all can't see me
I'm a ghost, I'm a genie
If you ever been alone, then I know y'all can feel me
For real, that's how I'm feeling
Walls closing in while you busy watching TV
White boy in his room staring up at the ceiling
Black dialect, my intellect precedes me
It's just me, myself, and I and everybody who believes in me
Rappin' about what Michael Jackson teaching me
It doesn't matter if you're black, white, or history
Back on the scene looking fresh, clean, and crispy
Bright white light
Black on both sides of infinity
Get you open like an Oreo cookie
Let's go

Feel yourself, it's time to be open
No fear, freedom's in the motion
You're alive, love's got you open
Feel yourself, it's time to be open
No fear, freedom's in the motion
You're alive, love's got you open

Black boy turned blue in the moonlight
Picked on for being too black and talking too white
Never had a close friend, couldn't even do right
Stayed inside, the outside was way too bright
Gotta open up your mind
The heart is a powerful tool and it's divine
Let a little light flow through you
Passion is a gift when you let it get into you
Keys unlock doors
Put a grip in your hands so you can unlock yours
And your tribe is on the other side
When you find your people, B.S. you can brush aside
And I wouldn't be surprised if the light that you shine
Broke the walls that divide
The sun broke through the clouds
Confidence grew and he rose through all the doubts
Open up

Feel yourself, it's time to be open
No fear, freedom's in the motion
You're alive, love's got you open
Feel yourself, it's time to be open
No fear, freedom's in the motion
You're alive, love's got you open

Open
Sesame
Open
Sesame
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
