dilate - paradox & imperial lyrics

intro:
yo, teach kids by day, school heads by night
making pupils dilate when i give ‘em divine sight
come on…
imperial. paradox. one, two. ye-yeah…
it goes, teach kids by day, school heads by night
making pupils dilate when i give ‘em divine sight

hook:
ay yo, i dilate my pupils to open up their eyes
show ‘em what’s inside, breathe some hope into their lives
no doubt about it, it’s slow going most the time
but i’ve found no other job around as dope as mine
i dilate my pupils to open up their eyes
be a rope for them to climb till they know that they can rise
no question it’s a stressful investment to hold the line
but i’ve found no other job around as dope as mine

verse:
we on that feel good, good god almighty
burning brightly with a guiding light that’s shining right inside me
striving to inspire minds, before their inner fire dies
while teens dine on cyanide. see, that’s why i keep writing
we be the vital signs, when tightest beats meet flyest rhymes
imperial supplies the vibe, dox provides the diatribe
my nine-to-five consists of finding wisdom behind the lies
listening to kids dismissed as victims of violent crimes
you know, that strong, silent kind, that walks the line
till it explodes like dynamite in a columbine
these are trying times, but dry your crying eyes
understand how the humble lamb becomes the lion’s pride
by recognizing ride or die’s a false dichotomy
it just describes the rock and the hard spot it seems you’re caught between
but the “rock of ages” ain’t a sacred slot machine
ironically the most high sovereign king bottom feeds
believe the god of jacob’s moving through each autumn breeze
pursuing opportunities to bring fruit from rotten trees
cuz he perceives the unique beauty in a fallen leaf
and calls forth his flock from the lost and forgotten sheep
so it’s not a matter of dotting i’s and crossing t’s
in fact, he loves you exactly because you’re flawed and weak
you don’t gotta have a doctorate in philosophy
or a law degree to see what we’re called to be
they think it’s all a dream, but i’m wide awake
and even when i fall asl-asleep it’s just a power nap
cuz he defied the grave to pay for my mistakes
raising in three days, replacing the hourgl-ss
that’s the amazing grace by which i escaped
waiting for the rain (reign), str-strapped with a shower cap
ditched the coward’s path and blind mind state
now i correct vision for a living till eyes dilate

hook:
ay yo, i dilate my pupils to open up their eyes
be a rope for them to climb till they know that they can rise
no question it’s a stressful investment to hold the line
but i’ve found no other job around as dope as mine
i dilate my pupils to open up their eyes
show ‘em what’s inside, breathe some hope into their lives
no doubt about it, it’s slow going most the time
but i’ve found no other job around as dope as mine
