1st Verse:
Momma be dying on me / that there's defining, see
Sister be crying, she's weak / I ain't got time to bleed
I'm on the grind, you see / way before primary
I've been relying on me / one day you'll finally
See what I'm trying to be / a good man
There's so few of those / few of those / look, man
Who are those / fucks trying to tell me how to grieve?
When pops died, didn't cry / he came to me in my dreams
Shit, must've had / some kind of regret / and yеt
Didn't cry when mom died / I know this shit seems cold
But you bet, I miss 'еm both / this is how life goes
Went through this shit twice, yo
You get somewhat accustomed
To the circumstances you're dealt / accommodated
To the shithole you fell in / repellent / to the rational mind
Depression, I'm trying / to find some comfort in my dreams and so I'm
Hook (x2):
Trapped in a waking dream
Neither asleep, nor awake
Dreams
Trapped in a waking dream
Neither asleep, nor awake
Dreams
2nd Verse:
Eyes wide open / whilst I'm roaming / these wastelands
Like fake gems / hide in fine clothing
Get lost in the shuffle / and yet the odd one out
Vividly recall the struggle / to make it out / of the hood
Never made it, though / yea, I made some dough
But the hood's still where I'm situated, ho
Unfadable / probably just too lazy, old
Habits die hard / even so, I guess, it's debatable
Maybe just to afraid to get rejected
Every change that's thrown at my feet I intercept it
Decapitated / man, I hate it / the fact that
I'm erratic / while being static / trying to stay at it
Steadily working on it / but at times just wanna pull the curtain closed
And see, what hurts the most / each time is worse, who knows
Why I keep making the same mistakes
Whatever I do, my state does remain the same
Hook (x2):
Trapped in a waking dream
Neither asleep, nor awake
Dreams
Trapped in a waking dream
Neither asleep, nor awake
Dreams
3rd Verse:
So, what if I had dreams / life showed me some mad scenes
Only chance to make my dreams happen / is if I found Aladdin's
Lamp / but damn, it's been one thousand and one nights
Since I've had some sunshine / only darkness
Regardless / if there's any spark, it's / too hard for me to spot it
Shit, can't get / to a point where I feel like I've got this
Constantly reminded there's nothing I will ever accomplish
Death wish like Charles Bronson / until I shut myself off of this
Nonsense / but what have I become since?
Secluded, deluded my conscience
Sharpened my senses, strengthened my bond with
My inner demons, they've been riding along since
I came into this world, way before any conflict
Became apparent, so you best ring the alarm, bitch
Cos I no longer feel like I'm haunted
I'm no longer trapped / bitch, I'm conscious!
YEAH
