Lyrics

Sometimes I sleepwalk
When I know I'm afraid
To pay the price of glory
For the fortune and fame
I ask a name that's famous
If before they became it
Lost someone they love
Just to say they made it
I ain't sayin' they traded
Cause it's nobody's fault
It just seems when some raise it
Some let it fall
I want it all
But I'll never sacrifice
A life that ain't mine
Just to lie
In a dream full of ice
Although sometimes I wonder
If our loved ones know
That they're headed straight to heaven
Right beside our Lord
Close enough to beg Him
To let Him make 'em
So proud of what they've done
With the life He gave 'em
If that's the case
Then I think I'll stay
Lackin' means of comfortable
Subsistence anyday
So I can pray that far away
All the people that leave
Never left
So they can get to sleepwalk with me
So they can get to sleepwalk with me
Sleepwalk with me
So they can get to sleepwalk with me
Sleepwalk with me
It ain't hard to sleepwalk
Cause we all done it once
The hard part is waking up
Into a dream full of guns
Where the drugs will take you
Back to reality
Then you're done
Askin' yourself
What part of that was a dream
Sometimes it seems a tragedy
Is the only way to unite
A family already
Broken up by the lies
So I fight a couple nights
Apologize in the wild
And lose a fool that never knew
How to feed a mouth
That's too young to understand
That their dad was the man
Who put the Valle on the map
But sat way in the back
When it came to gettin' paid
It's like he had a disease
Bringing the money and the greed
Turnin' friends into thieves
So please excuse me
Mrs. Afeni Shakur
But what about the other moms
Who lost a kid in this world
Who tried and gave you all the gold
But we already know
Luxuries don't mean a thing
Next to the ones you love most
So they can get to sleepwalk with me
Sleepwalk with me
So they can get to sleepwalk with me
Sleepwalk with me
I just hope when I'm gone
My homies won't go on
And sleepwalk for the next
Promise one to come
For so long and pretends
You can trust a friend
That forgets and plays dead
When the money comes in
If in heaven is where I am
And I hope to be
Then I pray just for one day
The Lord will let me leave
Back on the streets that made me
And gave me what I had
The same streets that made me
Wants it all back
It's too bad they took a dad
Away from his kids
It's so sad to see them pass
Another poor Christmas
There ain't a gift on their list
They wouldn't give to see
One last kiss from he they miss
Right before they sleep
On my knees I'm askin' God
If the only way out
Is to see me or my child
Sleepwalkin' on the clouds
If it is then I wish
My dreams all gave up
I'd rather hold my family
And watch the homies sleepwalk
So they can get to sleepwalk with me
Sleepwalk with me
So they can get to sleepwalk with me
Sleepwalk with me
