Nightmares of the night
Nightmares of the night
I had a dream, so I chased it
Nobody never told me I'd be lost in the Matrix
Come on and live the life, it's the way that they betrayed it
Painted a pretty picture, but the pretty picture faded
I hated it, and the game showed me it's shadiness
When I realized that my favorite rapper was faking it
They got me thinking it was all about that gangsta shit
But now I'm seeing that them **** really ain't the shit
You pay a high price tryna live the high life
Cash in your soul, start lacking control
When the money get to flowing in, hard to know who for a friend
Everybody looking kinda strange at me
Why so many haters taking aim at me?
I figure since a **** made a change, they'd be happy
Make a better living for the family, you feel me?
You mean to tell me just cause I made it they wanna kill me?
What sort of life is this we wish to live?
What in the hell have I been telling these kids?
"Get your money, live it up, spend it up
Cause you're only living once," but that's kind of a lie, y'all
See, this dream of mine put me to sleep
But real life started leaving me behind (burning out of time)
You can dream if you wanna dream
But learn a lesson from me and just don't fall asleep
I dreamed
That I could make it to the top of the mountain and I would be king
But when I woke up in the middle of my dream late night, I screamed
And you really won't believe me if I tell you everything I seen
I realized I wasn't even chasing a dream
I chased a nightmare
I had a dream, I pursued it
Nobody never told me that doing this would be foolish
They did, but bitch, through my decisions, had me thinking stupid
I could've sacrificed my friends and my family
I'm useless, I'm losing it
I never knew what I was doing
I underestimated the world and Satan's influence
I figured I could get in and out of it, nothing to it
Just try to get what I can get out
Of it and keep moving, but I blew it
I had a very close encounter with the Devil
And he showed me all these elevated levels of myself
Took me to the highest mountain and I pedestal'd myself
Didn't realize he implanted a rebel in myself
I'm like, "Whoa, have I been sinning it all this time?
Chasing the Devil, living a lie? Oh my God, fool!"
Thinking I'm a leader, but I really was a tool
To figure out the truth, a **** had to go to school
So I'm flipping through the scriptures and looking at the news
And the news paints the picture that the scriptures are true
So now I'm fighting and trying to wake up running
But I'm moving in slow motion, hopeless
If I wasn't so gone off the Hennessy and weed
Then I probably wouldn't be in a deep sleep
Spiritually drowsy, seriously cloudy
I gotta get some get up and get fearless about me
Promise to God, if I make it out this nightmare alive
I'll be a soldier for the rest of my life
And I don't wanna be involved with the chaos
The women, money, fame, all them things I can lay off
And leave 'em alone, if I can numb 'em on my mental
I don't need them no more, I'm not competing no more
Wake up!
I dreamed
That I could make it to the top of the mountain and I would be king
But when I woke up in the middle of my dream late night, I screamed
And you really won't believe me if I tell you everything I seen
I realized I wasn't even chasing a dream
I chased a nightmare
You can dream if you wanna dream
But learn a lesson from me and just don't fall asleep
You can dream if you wanna dream
I chased a nightmare
You can dream if you wanna dream
I chased a nightmare
Nightmares of the night
