Lyrics
The American nightmare, Natas, it was all a dream
The American nightmare, Natas
What goes around comes around
Watch the planet spin the spin sun up and down
I'm hell bound I feel down
I picked myself up off the ground
I want to fly away but if I die today
Now all the angels sing and prey
When I look into the mirror don't like the changes
It feels like I'm looking into the eyes of the stranger
Heart beats danger filled with anger
Put the gun to my head with one in the chamber
Rock this recital 'cause its so suicidal
Toe tag E. Smith right on the title
How much is my life worth dying since birth
It don't matter they can blow up the whole earth
It was all a dream but it turned into a nightmare
The chalk line shows how I went down right there
Nightmares every night, nightmares
Nightmares every night, nightmares
Is it just your spatial time or reality, nightmares
So keep tellin' yourself they're make believe, nightmares
Hey, hey dawg get up, man
Homie wake up, man
Hey, man
This **** ain't breathing, man. I don't think he's moving
My homie went to sleep and never woke back up
My brother used to tell me to put the dope back up
And somehow my name got spoke back up
I blacked out I guess that's when loped back up
I wake up in a cold sweat, scratches on my neck
Before I got to sleep under the people keep your tech
This city is a thunderstorm you might get
Wrecked the reality is diss, real as you can get
It must be an error with the war on terror
Can't hang around my mamma 'cause she said I scare her
It seems like the picture gets a little clearer
Every time I argue with the man in the mirror
Nightmares every night, nightmares
Nightmares every night, nightmares
Is it just your spatial time or reality, nightmares
So keep tellin' yourself they're make believe, nightmares
Nightmares I'm falling through this lifetime of balling
My whole body covered in roaches and they crawling
Grew up in the ghetto only to survive
Living in the shadow of death buried alive
I had a nightmare the devil made me part of his plan
Put me in the constitution I'm 3/5ths of a man
Put a gun in my hand brought the dope to this land
But is this genocide the way Americans ran?
Capitalism capital punishment I'm running it
In my nightmare I'm the first black President
Bullet proof caddie American flagged up
Nightmares of soldiers bagged up
Chief in commander propaganda shout
Half off all drugs at the white house
Wouldn't give a fuck about you saying something
Keep talking that shit and I'mma push the button
Nightmares every night, nightmares
Nightmares every night, nightmares
Is it just your spatial time or reality, nightmares
So keep tellin' yourself they're make believe, nightmares
