| I’ve been down, for so long
|
| But so long to that me
|
| I’ve been gone, I’ve been wrong
|
| But I’m gonna succeed
|
| I’m aware, now I care about my surroundings
|
| There’s bigger things happening
|
| Now I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| '82, I was born, given life
|
| '92, I was ten, living life
|
| '93, shit done change; |
| I saw light
|
| When that real rap played my brain get all hyped
|
| So I’m two steppin', yeah
|
| I’m up in the place and every crew repping
|
| But they got love for the Pais, (BP!)
|
| And I ain’t even stepping on stage
|
| I don’t mean to dissuade
|
| I just came to get blazed
|
| In any case, you know that I be bloggin' (bloggin')
|
| And I ain’t even typed one word
|
| Man, that shit don’t rhyme
|
| And that shit’s absurd
|
| Still got that head nod shit that will shake your nerves
|
| And I go!
|
| I’ve been down, for so long
|
| But so long to that me
|
| I’ve been gone, I’ve been wrong
|
| But I’m gonna succeed
|
| I’m aware, now I care about my surroundings
|
| There’s bigger things happening
|
| Now I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| I turned your water to wine
|
| Turned your wine into water
|
| It’s impressive, get the message, that’s some shit they ain’t taught us
|
| That’s the shit they ain’t teaching
|
| How to argue with reason
|
| How to live up to big dreams and never deceive 'em
|
| I got my girl in the front, got my dog in the back
|
| They stuntin' all over like they ain’t part of the pack
|
| We always keep calm, we like when its cool
|
| I do, I take a different path when my ass outta school
|
| I got that 1−2-3−4, arrogant tool
|
| And when it goes off it blows off the ignorant fools
|
| I ain’t talking about the second amendment
|
| We can bend it and stretch it, but either way I got my mind as a weapon
|
| I can promise I don’t threaten to beckon
|
| Never asking for seconds unless we all ate, pray for digestion
|
| Hope that we can leave an impression
|
| Hope that we can dodge the dogmatic and take heed of the blessings
|
| And I’m gone
|
| I’ve been down, for so long
|
| But so long to that me
|
| I’ve been gone, I’ve been wrong
|
| But I’m gonna succeed
|
| I’m aware, now I care about my surroundings
|
| There’s bigger things happening
|
| Now I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| I’m not sleeping on my dreams
|
| I’m not sleeping on my dreams |
