Verse 1:

Every day that I wake up/
I see myself and I think of/
what will soon happen to me/
If I do not hunt down these dreams/
see they say that life’s an adventure/
I venture through those dimensions/
I’m wrestling with my past/
to wrap futures inside my present/
the pressure to be the best/
will be met with struggle and stress/
if success is worth every penny/
I’ll pay that debt til I’m dead/
and I bet that with every line/
in a lyric, rhythm, and rhyme/
that you feel it enough to climb
up the mountains inside my mind/
or fly with me up to the heavens/
escaping these local pressures/
women, money and music/
they always play well together/
these vices invade my life and/
proceed to keep me at peace/
while some people believe it’s poison/
I see it as a release/
ain’t no re-grets for a sinner/
just hope and pray for forgiveness/
if dying can reap your spirit/
then living is my religion/
revealing myself in public/
while losing my will to trust
is the reason why I don’t love/
ice water engulfs my blood /
along with a fifth of whiskey /
that numbness is coming with me /
I chose these words carefully /
cause deceptive bitches are tricky /
and niggas work out of context /
tryna alter your content /
but folding is not an option /
competition / no contest /
I con-test every letter that the law suggests /
if it ain’t in our best inter-est /
nigga we must object /
while I launch these /
verbal attacks atop your consci-ence /
your man said he was the best /
I laughed /
it must have been in jest /
please ingest this wisdom while a whittle this list down to none / blessed be thy name /
call me Darth Dream /
I’m the chosen one / Golden Sun /
ain’t enough shine for the both of us to hold this trophy up /
it’s over son /
only use your pen for journal entry runs /
enter the 37th chamber /
with a dream in the clip /
to hold you over while I’m sprayin’ /
done with pleadin’ the 5th /
twenties for my thoughts If you payin /
so ain’t no more gifts/
only police chalk where you layin’ /
and I’m sayin this…


Chorus:

I hit the sheets / fall asleep with my crown bent /
ghetto got me feelin’ like I’m drowning /
hounding /
toss x turning for hours until the sound dips /
since my conscience tends to get too loud then/
how in /
the world are we to see peace of mind when them clouds dim /
and every ounce of sunlight is surrounded /
I’m pouncing /
on every blessing no stress when I leave the town fam /
escaping to a place that I can lounge in homie...


Verse 2:

Every night that I fall asleep /
lawless visions be doggin' me/
so for these fortunes ill stick a coffin up /
if the offer’s deep /
sergeant pardon me /
you ain’t earned enough to play god to me /
so put your pack up back in your holster for you lose all your teeth spoiled rotten, I gotta get it before it ripens /
pick the forbidden fruit then eat it /
and light up the cipher //
peter piper picked a pepper
I’m pickin’ a fight with the fact that these lifeless sack of suits still determine the prices /
sinister thoughts and still my mind can’t be bought /
master the cards in every deck and dump the jokers off shore /
an iron heart /
with a tiger’s roar gunning for more /
dumpin them clips on any maestro in society’s score/
this ain’t a movie dog /
clarity wanes /
you lose perspective in this neck of urban rebel terrain /
where territory is hard to come by //
since my city’s been stained /
by all these counter culture vultures tryna box out our lane /
them fuckin snakes /
fuck the…fuckin Jakes /
livin in a world we didn’t make /
pussy with no taste /
and sissy’s too prissy to make mistakes //
are you not entertained by this grime? /
are you ashamed to feel the wrath and the wave of these crimes/
please don’t be fake with your eyes /
follow the news /
ain’t nothin’ hollow bout these bottles baby /
swallow the truth /
let it burn you up into ashes/
watch it strangle and noose /
til you lose your sense of attachment, gain a passion for proof /
there ain’t no truce up in this Brooklyn Zoo //
metropolitan mind with skies to move /
So when I hit LA you know Imma throw on that Dodger Blue //
Only thing left is respect x a check //
so if you ain’t comin’ with either, you ain’t comin’ correct /
I summon the best with these threats that I’m still hungry for necks / then I use your head as a bust, till I bust whoever is next /
and on my flesh I’m settin’ bets that I’m gon’ rise from these depths/ til we all escape out this hell and hit that rapture connect /
my nigga...


Chorus:

I hit the sheets / fall asleep with my crown bent /
ghetto got me feelin’ like I’m drowning /
hounding /
toss x turning for hours until the sound dips /
since my conscience tends to get too loud then/
how in /
the world are we to see peace of mind when them clouds dim /
and every ounce of sunlight is surrounded /
I’m pouncing /
on every blessing no stress when I leave the town fam /
escaping to a place that I can lounge in homie...
