Talkin' In My Sleep

Sometimes I might be incoherent But when I'm pissed off I drift off I lift off Where truth is more apparent I've watched the stars fall I've walked to Heaven's walls And I go back and forth To see if this was worth it all Feel like I was a coward Told her the world was ours Promised to stand the rain But I couldn't take The April showers I Dru-Hills with flowers First sign of clouds I jumped the rope And I threw in the towel Charge it to the game The game of life I paid the price And it's too late to Save my life So I'll just say good night I had a dream that we made it out But no one knew what I was talking 'bout And there were times I wished I would have chose another route Cuz basketball would mask it all Until I missed that shot I'm standing all alone at center court It was all a dream But now I'm left with scars I can't ignore That's what the hell I started rapping for Made sure my words were pure Before I open Heaven's doors I should have talked to Paris more I should have made some time to be with family But of course My time was money And it turned into a civil war And now I'm torn between just given up Or giving more It doesn't feel the way it did before It's like a chore and I don't like this feeling anymore It just occurred to me That I've been talking in my sleep Give me the third degree Cuz I've been talking in my sleep It just occurred to me That I've been talking in my sleep Give me the third degree Cuz I've been talking in my sleep Woke up inside this empty place I'm losing faith That maybe one day we would catch a break Or am I late Because a break Just means that I've been broken Or does my delusion Prove that I've been chosen? My words have reached across the ocean But I was hoping just to make you proud Instead of boasting I look around these walls a closing It's getting dark and I don't wanna be here all alone I pour my heart out until it hurts I'm bleeding out But no one cares And that just makes it worse First they told me that mic Wasn't good enough I spoke in perfect English So my rhymes wasn't HOOD enough Heart of a savior But I understand what Juda's thinking I'm in a sunken place And I gotta pay the rent this evening Feels like I'm dreaming But a dream just means That I've been sleeping And if I'm sleeping Then this poetry's Unconscious speaking It sucks that no one told us We were chosen We created math But they only show us Pimp and hoeing I see your privilege showing Cuz you can't understand The simple plan To leave us broken Now why is all about promotion Shouldn't it be the dopest Yeah, that's a crazy notion Just let It marinate For a moment Then you'll understand Why all we have are simple tokens It just occurred to me That I've been talking in my sleep Give me the third degree Cuz I've been talking in my sleep It just occurred to me. That I've been talking in my sleep Give me the third degree Cuz I've been talking in my sleep Since all my heroes in the sky I figured now is my time So I can try to lift the torch Or pass it on if I die See I've been bleeding rap since Junior high And I got by this time in life By blasting out Aquemini That's back when Pac had a every eye So my many times I've tried to make this right And every time We got some lime to shine We run and hide So I turn the Tide like wash and dry Cuz I'm alive To bring the fire Before I close my eyes The simple things became my paradise I've lost a lot but That's when god said not to waste my life I made it with a million scars And for my art went into debt Like Gambit charging cards High fructose Low glucose My people can't survive And as for home It's too close You've heard me rhyming on a couple stations But I'm my harshest critic And I don't need your validation And I don't need a deal for what I'm painting Cuz in the end The truth will heal and then awaken I hear the crystal ceiling breaking And all the cursed will realize the time for revelation One love to those in Heaven waiting P-Degree I hope I made you proud Cuz now we made it And there's no way that anyone can take it And to the end of time We in the stars like constellations
