[00:-01.00]
[00:00.62] Baby girl told me in my sleep I was talkin
[00:02.73] So it's only natural I asked her "what I said?"
[00:05.62] She said she woke up when she heard
[00:07.97] But she was so damn tired she couldn't make out a word
[00:10.53] She said she was trying to see if eventually
[00:13.13] if I would scream the name of a bird
[00:15.21] I told her "that's absurd"
[00:17.27] And then gave her the face like "word?!"
[00:19.86] And then she replied "yeah"
[00:22.00] Said "it was quite weird", said she was type scared
[00:24.19] I said "that's the side effect
[00:25.90] that you get when you trade bad dreams for some great nightmares"
[00:29.06] When I close my eyes, I escape the poltergeist
[00:33.39] My escape from reality just what I needed
[00:35.50] Brings me to a place where shorty never cheated
[00:37.72] And even if she tried and succeeded
[00:39.83] In this other world I wouldn't even get heated
[00:42.49] **** the details, I don't care about why
[00:44.61] I'm chillin with my grandmother, she aint die
[00:46.82] I was browsing online and seen Mike on that banner
[00:49.04] And said "you can be like me and beat cancer"
[00:51.58] Anything I touched I feel
[00:53.81] Know its fiction but it seems so real
[00:56.09] Was leaving out the casino with a nympho
[00:58.47] Yes Ray it can be so simple
[01:00.72] Here's how I avoid problem with my kin folk
[01:02.98] Learn how to build me a house with no win
[01:05.30] dows.. and that's when I think I saw a ribbon in the sky
[01:08.74] but it wasn't from an in
[01:10.09] tro... cuz where I'm at there's no rumors or gossip
[01:12.52] but still got love for Miss In
[01:14.35] fo... she said in my sleep I be laughing,
[01:16.70] but shit seem funny to me
[01:18.70] My ice cream was 200 degrees
[01:21.12] If it dripped I'd get a hole in my dungarees
[01:22.85] See my animinoty is my protection
[01:25.50] And me and hip hop have no connection
[01:28.57] Which got me to reflecting
[01:30.45] Is that why the mirror don't show my reflection
[01:32.79] When I close my eyes there's no dollar
[01:34.85] So we can stretch that one as an excuse
[01:37.31] Of why folks do the things they do
[01:39.47] Or why people act so brand new?
[01:41.68] I had wings on flying outta prison with a ratchet
[01:43.97] Was only there cuz someone snitched
[01:46.36] No ones poor but no ones rich
[01:48.51] Just my way of creeping if life's a bitch
[01:50.82] Took a walk on the ceiling just to get my mind right
[01:53.13] That was yesterday... so in hindsight
[01:55.78] Since I was able to haul off
[01:57.85] I took it as God telling my I'll never fall off
[01:59.98] Got rid of the name brands and the jewelry
[02:02.61] Most people just use it as medicine
[02:04.85] Like it takes them somewhere they ain't never been
[02:07.64] But here you better off not better then
[02:09.47] Stuck in the room with an elephant
[02:11.57] Open the closet and dapped up my skeleton
[02:13.88] Had a convo with a man with no ears
[02:15.91] And all of a sudden everything became so clear
[02:18.28] Have no fear
[02:19.69] I just bought a first class trip to nowhere, everybody goes there
[02:22.94] But they don't stay the whole year,
[02:25.09] Me I got 365 shows there
[02:27.05] My girl said in my sleep I be walking, so I ask baby "where I go?"
[02:32.09] She said I be walking slow,
[02:34.26] She don't ever wanna get outta bed so she don't know
[02:36.62] I went to see a man walking on water
[02:38.91] Asked if he'd ever get things back in order
[02:41.25] I been there two years over a quarter
[02:43.49] But every time I open my eyes it's like torture
[02:45.96] He said "please I gave you a whole other world for you
[02:49.25] to go do with as you please
[02:50.53] Just so you appeased mixed with a couple of signs
[02:52.85] bout real life while you make believe"
[02:54.97] So I teleported outta there with a grin
[02:57.09] Met a bum with a mansion that invited me in
[02:59.37] Then we politiced about politics
[03:02.03] He mentioned def jam but I ain't acknowledge it
[03:04.05] I went to see a virgin with AIDS,
[03:06.34] yea I thought about smashing that
[03:08.20] Yea her ass was fat, so appealing
[03:10.23] Tattoo on her inner thigh that said
[03:11.94] "she was doin better then she was feeling"
[03:13.50] I think I seen shorty before, maybe in the club or something
[03:17.96] Maybe in VIP, but wasn't nobody there but me
[03:21.38] And the club was all red, and she started playing with my head
[03:25.54] And then I came
[03:27.15] Then I asked shorty whats her name and it was weird
[03:29.47] cuz she ****ed around and disappeared
[03:31.18] Like what a cruel joke
[03:33.78] Cig lit but from it was no smoke
[03:36.15] Flicked in the ashtray and seen Stack's face
[03:38.69] Slashed to a school hallway on a half day
[03:40.79] Was getting chased, couldn't tell by who
[03:42.91] Then the hallway turned into a cliff
[03:45.22] Screamin "piff" before I was dead
[03:47.58] Somehow I jumped my ass up out that bed
[03:49.73] Then baby girl told me in my sleep I was screaming
[03:52.02] So I said "that's a lie"
[03:54.39] She put her right hand in the sky
[03:56.63] And said "you was but I don't know why"
[03:58.28] Gotta go, goodbye..
[04:00.15]
