20syl - Thomas Lawrence lyrics

[Spoken intro] [Chorus: Anders] They tell me just let it go But if I do, i will never know Come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me Tell me to settle down But I can't stick around No no come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me [Verse 1: Coin Banks] Lights out, alarm set, before I go to sleep Wake up to the feeling of the ocean breeze Check the time my Casio, but the batteries dead Nina Simone on the gramophone, I lay back in my bed 20syl on the patio, rapping in French Got me scratching my head Tab One makes cameo, I must be asleep ‘ Wake Up Banks' damn, can't a brother just dream [Tab One:] I got a Facebook message from this cat name Banks Saying we should link on a track, that would be dank I said, hit me with the email, attach a few instrumentals I could get a pad and pencil; I won't get to sentimental We could keep it simple Talk about our dreams of rocking mics Never met, but I could tell that we're a lot alike All a sudden woke up like what the hell was that Then I turned on the radio and heard this track [Chorus: Anders] They tell me just let it go But if I do, i will never know Come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me Tell me to settle down But I can't stick around No no come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me [Verse 2: Tab One] Now if I dream while I'm lying in my bed Then I'm sleeping Do it when I'm walking wide awake I'm achieving Many man dreaming, never act on it And I swore that I would never do that sh**, dag gone it I'm a mac of conviction, man with decisions Man with the grammar for fans so let me get them Man with the plan, my plan is to hand vision Out to the people; Let them see how I been living See that light through the prism And colours I've been given Dip my brush in it and use it to paint scenes A man ain't alive if a man can't dream And ain't a man alive breathing that could disagree See this is straight sleep walking from NC to the down under Me and Coin Banks waking MC's out of slumber What's your sleep number? Mines infinity with the energy Living out a dream in reality is the remedy [Chorus: Anders] They tell me just let it go But if I do, i will never know Come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me Tell me to settle down But I can't stick around No no come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me [Verse 3: Coin Banks] I'm in my bed in my old Hilfiger sweats Had a dream I said like Jigga said A vignette from a vineyard, but life is a silhouette Trying to raise the bar that Dilla set, allow me to interject If we slept more and didn't dream at all Would we evolve? Hell nahh Life's a free for all; ya got to reach for yours Ya life is a lucid dream, homie just shoot the scene Those that achieve are really far and a few between Thomas Lawrence said we dangerous men I live my dreams in the day so I'm awake in my bed But if sleep is the cousin of d**h I guess, dreams are a way to get in touch with the dead So lately I ain't sleeping awake in the late evenings Carpe diem, no time for daydreaming Homie we crave freedom and change So break free from ya chains And make peace with ya pain Are you asleep or awake? [Chorus: Anders] They tell me just let it go But if I do, i will never know Come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me Tell me to settle down But I can't stick around No no come on see I dream that the world will know about me, bout me That the world will know about me
