Crooked I - Don't Close Your Eyes (Ashamed) Lyrics
[Morgan McRae & Keith Whitley:]
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And You'll find more love than you've ever known
And don't close your eyes
[Kxng Crooked:]
God, I told myself these are the words I'd never say
I'm my own worst' opponent, and it hurts in every way
You ever thought about smashing the mirrors in your house
So you don't have to see the same person that hurts you every day? I have...
I'm shattered, can I pick up the pieces before I pick up a piece
And squeeze, and give up on breathing, go live up with Jesus
Give up, I'm leaving, sick of the freezing rain
This umbrella I'm under, while it's raining alcohol
See we're abusing each other
I'm just trying to drown my problems in a bottle of Jack Daniels
Let me talk to y'all about a couple of problems I can't handle
See my whole family's starving', I need dollars to feed 'em
A dropout, nobody college degreed him
I went the block route, where cops play God with your freedom
What's the odds? I'm going to beat them
All of my friends, man they're gone when I need 'em
The same song plays over and over
My life's bullshit, it's getting older and older
I pour more Jack over the soda, told y'all I hate being sober
Probably need to meditate with Deepak Chopra and Oprah
I hope for hope, some meaning for tomorrow
And I wish I didn't drink, but ain't no Geenie in this bottle
I know, I gotta change and realize I'm highly worth it
But until then, my favorite excuse is "nobody's perfect"
[Morgan McRae & Keith Whitley:]
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And You'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
[Truth Ali:]
Remember when I was a jewel in the lotus flower
Swimming around my mother tube on the road to power
Fast forward to the current mass horror
At birth I'm hearing the dirt, hit my coffin call the task force
Cause I'm empty as this of the bottle of these Percocets
I swallowed them to circumvent my problems because I'm purposeless
With my pistol in my hand perspiring
Swear I'm like the Michelin man I'm so tired if...
If's a 5th then she's a couple pints of gin
You see the struggle fight within for me begin at 5 or 6
I was touched in some ways that no kid should have to talk about
My counselor the reaper seeing if he could bring the chalk around
I can't lie, shit I plotted suicide, every-time I tried
I hear my momma cry, in my one room apartment with an eviction notice
Lonely as a runaway among the junkies pimps and homeless
I grip the trigger and the blammer went click
And then I ran into kitchen vomit bread into the dishes
An Evangelist is pictured on my Samsung so I listen
As he preaches about Delilah Robbin Samson of strength
I guess that I am him, she more or less is my addiction
Coalescing with a rhythm like she dancing with the wicked
With the devil two stepping in them tight blue dresses
... in the form of blue pills til death do us
[Morgan McRae & Keith Whitley:]
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And You'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

Crooked I Don't Close Your Eyes (Ashamed) Comments
The chorus of this song is from the 1988 Keith Whitley song “DONT CLOSE YOUR EYES”
Nice twist to the song with that part added in.
Must admit I’m not a fan of rap music but this is outstanding.
Your style is amazing!!!!
Thanks for sharing this!!
I was about to play this on Spotify after months. Only to see it get taken off.
why was this taken off of spotify
Why da fuck they take dis off spotify ruined my night
This has been one of my favorite jams I recently discovered. Now that I know where the song originated from, makes it 100x better. I just listened to the country song of this and I'm blown away how amazing they made it their own.
What happened to this album on Spotify? This song helps me get through so much shit now i can’t find it on Spotify and the iTunes version isn’t as good as this one
I asked Jonathan Hay and they migrated their stuff. But it's going to come back to streaming at some point.
Im a fellow artist also a fan. I just wanted to let yo know this song touched home. Feel like im losing everything. Three deaths jail lost of my business to sleeping in a homeless sheltor. Don eva stop bro yo music is life. Much love brother.
Your great don’t let anyone make you deteriorate
song hits too close to home can relate drinking vodka and RC cola help escape my problems
This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. I'm 35 days sober, and the first verse is something I can relate to in my own life. Thanks for keeping it real.....
I love this song. both parts are good but truth was awesome. so much emotion behind this
SmOOth Nice! Salute!
All hail the Kxng

When Hip Hop meets Dance(Royce 5'9" verse from RAW feat EMINEM)
that truth ali verse was dope..devil in the blue dress. cant find much on the guy and what i did sounded nothing like this
Ezkiel sounded really good, but I'm wondering who sang the chorus, and who was the female voice?
love love love this record, bassline is gnarly and both rappers were awesome!
This is all around great. Kxng Crooked always goes in and so did Truth Ali I'm a new fan need to listen to more of your music Bro

+Jonathan Hay You guys are brilliant!
Har aldrig hört hip hop som varit så skön och meditativ som den här. Jättejättefina körer och text som känns äkta och viktig.
yo jon this might be the best record you've done on the real. it's crazy to hear your birth mom. keep doing you. keep killin it. jon hay is a beast.
+John Houston Entertainment The whole Urban Hitchcock series is crazy.
+John Houston Entertainment I agree. Hearing your Mum in the intro is tragic.
Where is the love button! Amazing! Real music! Both Kxng n Truth killed it!
great production. crook killed it of course. not familiar with truth but love his verse. Thanks ppl. music that I've added to the soundtrack of my life.
What a tune, can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Crook is a boss, now off to check out some Truth Ali
This is beyond deep, if you ask me .. I personally am approaching 1 full year of sobriety on 9/13/15, and I didn't know the Big Homie Kxng Crooked was battling the demon in a bottle like that. He hosted my new #ParadiseUgly Mixtape earlier this year, and for me, because of what he did, I am forever indebted. I wish you all, involved in this project, a world of success. This is what REAL #HipHop is all about .. So proud to know he dropped that habit!!
... Salute!

This is my very first comment on Youtube.
What a beautiful song, the singing is so moving and soulful and impressive. Crooked drops fire as usual, with a verse I think unfortunately we can all relate to. I'm just privileged to see an artist express it so poetically. I'd love to see more collaborations like this. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of art with us.
+Kareem Zreik Sweet!
+JonathanHayPublicity I just wanted to add, the video is awesome! So genuine, perfectly edited. Has a great feel to it. Cheers.
+Kareem Zreik - Thank you very much for the compliments.

@Urban Hitchcock lol big fan but i love it when rappers contradict them selves.
Exactly, because, you know, they're like any other person - range of emotions, thoughts, beliefs. They just ain't afraid to show it (e.g., 2pac's Unconditional Love vs Hit Em Up).
dope! sounds like the same sample used on Georgie by Devin The Dude
+Guess3981 Great ears. Not a sample, but replayed line :)
The singing sounds amazing, didn't expect that for Crooked I. But it was dope, so were the verses.
+Noctis Caelum Appreciate it!!!
+Noctis Caelum thank you
+Truth Ali what 's good
hella dope! KXNG Crooked killing it as usual
This is amazing, gotta love Crooked!
TruthAli killed that!

Wonderful. Everyone involved did their thing
+Kentainmb Thanks for the feedback!
I love how real this is. No diamonds or flying money that gives the impression that all rap artists live a life of luxury... just a real look into the lives of real artists, and the work that goes into what you do. Great job!
+Maria Holden So sweet...
+Maria Holden - Very much appreciate your feedback and support.
Truth Ali's verse was dope. I gotta check for more of his music
+Dewy Evans - Ali is the truth. Just wait until you hear the other stuff we are doing with him.
+Dewy Evans His verse was fire, so much emotion, lyrically top-notch. Definitely going to be checking him out, too!
