[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]Fuck 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 fucked 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..
