Nah what you get outta [00:00:00]
Outta not writing your stuff down on paper [00:00:01]
You get the more-you know the[00:00:03]
Expression the feeling yourself [00:00:05]
You know what you want to say[00:00:07]
Instead of reading a paper that sounds read [00:00:08]
It sounds narrated [00:00:10]
Unless you wanna do it narrated [00:00:11]
What if a dream was reality[00:00:24]
And reality was a dream [00:00:26]
And as complicated as it seems [00:00:28]
If things we imagined actually happened [00:00:30]
And real life situations was artificial[00:00:32]
They say we only living to die[00:00:35]
Imagine if we're already dead [00:00:36]
Waiting to live living in hell[00:00:38]
Trying to cross over to[00:00:40]
Heaven we're confusing ourselves[00:00:41]
Planet earth's like Oceans 11 [00:00:43]
We're plottin' for the getaway[00:00:44]
When my childhood friends get sent away[00:00:46]
To prison on their first offense[00:00:48]
It's f**ked up but listen [00:00:50]
We study God but don't know him[00:00:51]
Criticize people that work on Sundays [00:00:53]
Two jobs just to feed their kids[00:00:55]
Well momma's scratching lottery tickets knowing[00:00:57]
That it's just a fairy tale[00:00:59]
Cus' we ain't gonna win[00:01:01]
Every time that she's bubblin' in [00:01:02]
It feels like the devil's holding a pen[00:01:04]
(sh*t)[00:01:06]
Don't mind me I'm just thinking again[00:01:06]
Thinking out loud thinking the opposite of proud[00:01:08]
Cus' I'm disappointed at my self sometimes[00:01:11]
Self-esteem gets lower than night strippers[00:01:13]
Hard to motivate the right rhymes [00:01:16]
Inspired by true crimes[00:01:18]
It's not a game it's nothing to play with[00:01:20]
Turn it off then come back the next day [00:01:22]
It's here to stay[00:01:24]
Struggle that is[00:01:25]
I'm so infatuated with knowing something[00:01:27]
That's waiting after this life[00:01:29]
That means what I'm thinking is right[00:01:30]
Punch loop the beat for a minute[00:01:32]
Moment of silence for J Dilla he on his way home[00:01:34]
Know he see me spillin' my heart hope for it soon[00:01:36]
Wait a minute K Dot ) you said turn it back on [00:01:39]
Bring it back[00:01:41]
If dreams was reality[00:01:42]
If it was cool for you to be a casualty[00:01:44]
The only way that you can escape poverty[00:01:46]
Say that I'm weird[00:01:49]
But obviously you didn't get it[00:01:50]
When I said it the first time[00:01:52]
You're listening too far[00:01:53]
If you hear this part[00:01:54]
I suggest you go back and press rewind[00:01:56]
I fast forward to common thoughts of a human[00:01:58]
Deep in my thoughts like Patrick Ewing in the paint[00:02:01]
Look what I brought to my state[00:02:03]
That they can't bring[00:02:05]
The industry need a fix[00:02:07]
Stick h****n needles inside politics [00:02:08]
This is crack music[00:02:10]
O-pi-um inside the veins of them [00:02:12]
I don't abuse it[00:02:15]
Capture each moment like film [00:02:16]
Photo-shooting all my enemies moving[00:02:17]
Direct them to a casket[00:02:19]
Give it to 'em only if they ask for it [00:02:20]
If they want[00:02:23]
If they wanna see reality haha[00:02:24]
I'm losing you again ain't I [00:02:27]
Ain't I [00:02:29]
The perfect candidate to represent the fifty states [00:02:29]
Black President [00:02:32]
They don't wanna see that[00:02:33]
It's evident pain is pain[00:02:34]
We only love to hate each other[00:02:36]
That's striving for great-ness[00:02:38]
I swear to God that we live in a Matrix[00:02:39]
Take that blue pill then we start seeing spaceships[00:02:42]
Kanye west-coast niggas do it the best[00:02:45]
Bring each other down [00:02:48]
Crab in a bucket of fit[00:02:49]
We learn to live with it I guess[00:02:51]
I mean dive with it since we're already dead[00:02:53]
Trying to cross over to heaven [00:02:56]
That's what I said the first time[00:02:58]
Get it Now little boy I gotta sit you down[00:03:00]
Teach you about the things that we live around[00:03:03]
Materialistic things[00:03:05]
That we buyin' now means nothing later[00:03:07]
When the dream kick in[00:03:09]
Fade me out fade me out fade me out [00:03:10]
Fade me out fade me out fade me out [00:03:12]
Fade me out fade me out [00:03:14]
When the dreams was reality[00:03:16]
And money was love[00:03:17]
What would we do[00:03:18]
For a buzz to maintain our sanity[00:03:19]
Chasing the wind striving after this vanity[00:03:21]
Traveling no direction the aim is casualty[00:03:23]
American dream or Scarface fantasy[00:03:26]
Kilos of coke and the arms of black families[00:03:29]
We use to it our hearts draped in stone[00:03:31]
A mother's dreams for her baby boy[00:03:33]
To come back home[00:03:35]
Cus' he out pushin' that chrome [00:03:36]
Pursuing that cash[00:03:37]
End another niggas dreams[00:03:38]
When the fo-fifth blast[00:03:40]
Now another mother screams picking out his casket[00:03:41]
Harsh reality it seems like[00:03:44]
It's simple mathematics it's not[00:03:46]
It's trigonometry[00:03:47]
Divided by some real life[00:03:48]
And he'll do it again just to get a mill' twice[00:03:49]
The streets mowed him [00:03:52]
Can't make past that[00:03:53]
It's not a dream it's reality [00:03:54]
Look where it's at ugh[00:03:55]
What happened in Manhattan happens all the time[00:03:57]
In the hood conspiracy to cover up crime[00:03:59]
No nickel and dime [00:04:02]
One shot pettiness[00:04:03]
I wrote it in my mind as a letter to the president[00:04:04]
World trade happened on the world stage[00:04:07]
Same stage look at us as some educated apes[00:04:10]
On video stations women gyrating[00:04:13]
Parading around mind-raping the youth[00:04:15]
Fade me out fade me out fade me out[00:04:18]
Fade me out fade me out fade me out [00:04:20]
Fade me out [00:04:22]
What if a dream was reality[00:04:23]
And reality was a dream [00:04:25]
And as complicated as it seems [00:04:26]
If things we imagined actually happened [00:04:28]
And real life situations was artificial[00:04:30]
They say we only living to die[00:04:33]
Imagine if we're already dead [00:04:35]
Waiting to live living in hell[00:04:36]
Trying to cross over to heaven[00:04:38]
We're confusing ourselves[00:04:39]
Planet earth's like Oceans 11 [00:04:41]
We're plottin' for the getaway[00:04:42]
I'm the man up in this piece [00:04:44]
You'll never see the light of da [00:04:47]
Who the f**k d'ya think you f**kin' with [00:04:48]
I run sh*t here you just live here [00:04:51]
