What is a nightmare? |
| [00:02.38] |
The dictionary tells us it is a terrifying dream |
| [00:04.95] |
A nightmare (A nightmare, a nightmare, a nightmare) |
| [00:07.33] |
|
| [00:07.84] |
I used to think I had bad luck, but I wasn't superstitious |
| [00:10.46] |
Till one day I grew suspicious, |
| [00:12.05] |
When I stepped on a crack on Aunt Edna's stoop |
| [00:13.76] |
And got pooped on by a group of stupid pigeons |
| [00:16.73] |
Then we flew the coop to Michigan to start a new be-ditching |
| [00:18.89] |
Missouri from Michigan didn't work |
| [00:21.40] |
So we moved back to Missouri from Michigan |
| [00:23.76] |
From Missouri back to Michigan |
| [00:25.28] |
Someone put me out my misery, I can't do this again |
| [00:27.39] |
Mom please stick to a decision |
| [00:29.79] |
Discipline, last thing I wanna' do is listen |
| [00:31.94] |
She's like Lex Luthor, bitch, her rules are krypton-ite |
| [00:34.20] |
To the walls and I've lost my power to see through them bitches |
| [00:37.51] |
But I run into them, running through the kitchen |
| [00:39.15] |
Pretending to be blind, Superman |
| [00:41.31] |
'Cause I had no supervision |
| [00:42.56] |
But I did have a super power though |
| [00:45.07] |
I could turn into invisible kid |
| [00:47.02] |
Disappear out of sight, like a true magician |
| [00:49.13] |
And one day uncle Ronnie brought over this new, but different |
| [00:52.00] |
Music into the picture and it become my new religion |
| [00:54.16] |
"I remember it clearly, even today" |
| [00:57.34] |
Move back to Michigan again, to live with my Grandma Ned |
| [01:01.03] |
Always itchin' for something to do, was flipping |
| [01:03.43] |
Through the radio stations one day and discovered this DJ who was mixing |
| [01:06.24] |
I say it to this day, if you ain't listened to the the wizard |
| [01:09.78] |
You ain't have a fucking clue what you was missing |
| [01:11.84] |
I'd zone out with my headphones, all I remember doing's wishing |
| [01:14.65] |
For shoes, Fuck them stupid Pumas bitch, it's all about them new edition |
| [01:18.57] |
shoes |
| [01:19.17] |
You get them LL Cool J coolin' systems |
| [01:20.67] |
Think I finally maneuvered to 8 Mile and Hoover |
| [01:23.28] |
And somehow I saw my future is in this that's how I know my mission |
| [01:25.90] |
Little boom box boomin', spitting |
| [01:28.06] |
Practicing numerous rhythms |
| [01:30.38] |
When I sit in my room envisioning my dreams come true for wishin' |
| [01:32.33] |
I remember Proof would visit |
| [01:34.18] |
Couldn't wait to play him my new shit, he'd go complete ballistic |
| [01:37.00] |
Go through the roof for his shit |
| [01:38.20] |
It's like we knew the instant |
| [01:39.80] |
We touched a mic that both of us two existed to do this shit |
| [01:41.90] |
Never quit, too persistent |
| [01:44.11] |
|
| [01:44.61] |
Started a group of misfits |
| [01:48.38] |
Proof had a proposition |
| [01:49.49] |
If we all brand together, there ain't no stopping this shit |
| [01:52.64] |
Come up with aliases, bipolar opposites and |
| [01:54.40] |
Be ready to come off the top as sharp position |
| [01:58.18] |
If you got dissed at the shop 'cause if they caught you slippin' |
| [02:00.88] |
They'd take your spot if someone got to rippin' you |
| [02:02.95] |
And you forgot your written |
| [02:04.61] |
Opportunity knocked us once, it ain't knocking again |
| [02:07.37] |
It tried ding dong ditching shit |
| [02:08.73] |
I fucking got that bitch in a headlock |
| [02:10.24] |
Cut off his oxygen slim |
| [02:12.39] |
Snot forgin' like cocksuckers and rocks in the wind |
| [02:14.90] |
Now I got my pot to piss in |
| [02:16.23] |
Spottin' the top of this chain |
| [02:17.69] |
Cuppin' over the opposition |
| [02:19.15] |
Lookin' like a dog that's pissin' |
| [02:20.60] |
Wake up on the competition |
| [02:21.97] |
Promise incomplete |
| [02:23.34] |
Diamond and Sugar Ray Robinson |
| [02:24.84] |
I'm in a league Muhammad's in |
| [02:26.10] |
Ali's my colleague bombin' them probably |
| [02:27.86] |
Probably end up on top of them |
| [02:29.27] |
Stomping them like Adomakin |
| [02:30.53] |
I'm rushing like your cranium LaDainian Tomlinson |
| [02:34.12] |
Flow vomits in your face |
| [02:35.88] |
Competitors fall at my waist |
| [02:37.67] |
You spit a rhyme, I spit in a rhyme's face |
| [02:40.03] |
So name the time, place |
| [02:41.39] |
To battle bitch I'm still in that mind state |
| [02:43.44] |
Don't make me step on you and make you wine grapes |
| [02:45.70] |
Cry babies, maybe my way that I use words is loose |
| [02:49.03] |
But you turds better be careful how you choose yours |
| [02:51.62] |
'Cause feelings scar but egos bruise worse |
| [02:54.66] |
And the truth hurts, shit no wonder you're sore losers |
| [02:57.13] |
Now wish you pink birds, ooh no more drippin' in bird shit, |
| [03:01.08] |
This songs a self empowerment surgeon |
| [03:03.23] |
Words of encouragement but discourage any rappers the rap games God |
| [03:06.63] |
But the name's not James Todd, I'm just a wordsmith |
| [03:09.13] |
So let these words lift |
| [03:10.87] |
'Cause all I got is bars for you dumbbells |
| [03:12.78] |
And doors ain't working out |
| [03:14.29] |
Each verse is more merciless than the first |
| [03:16.76] |
As you ain't got to wear no shoes and shirt in this beast to get served |
| [03:20.69] |
Blood thirst, revenge of the nerds |
| [03:21.53] |
|
| [03:23.05] |
(They shall not escape my vengeance) |
| [03:23.99] |
|
| [03:24.79] |
And I'm the kid with them ears like Dumbo's gone |
| [03:26.40] |
With the uncle Ron I'm turning into an non-humble Don |
| [03:28.85] |
You blind dumbos, all I got is dick for you to crumble on |
| [03:32.20] |
So stop the show, but I need a drum roll for I go on |
| [03:34.97] |
Better back away from the front row, get lunch, I'm |
| [03:37.49] |
Bigger than Dikembe Mutombo on the fucking jumbo tron |
| [03:41.10] |
I'm a juggernaut, you do not wanna crumble, you bambacluts |
| [03:44.61] |
I'll leave you stretched out, like a fucking yarn |
| [03:46.91] |
So mow the fucking lawn, your asses are blades of grass |
| [03:50.58] |
And I'm fucking up this whole landscape of rap |
| [03:52.64] |
The goat just ate eight acres, and ate the vet |
| [03:55.84] |
Who just make a path and take you straight to your favorite rapper |
| [03:58.80] |
Oh look, my notebook with smoke cook |
| [04:02.42] |
Like the flow stood a foot over the flame on the stove, soot |
| [04:05.43] |
It's hard to breath floating like oak wood was burning |
| [04:07.44] |
Return of the no good and I wont (quit) |
| [04:10.25] |
|
| [04:16.99] |
And a gauntlet, with a chain henge, its like a groundhogs day |
| [04:22.75] |
So crowd around y'all, 'cause you may, see about y'all hey |
