[Verse 1: Yh]
Uh.. said it's time
To get this off my chest are you listening?
I realize it's a mess that we living in... uh
Where you get respect just for giving in
People only out to get they checks and they dividends
But, from you I'd expect something different
You always said that the money wouldn't change you
That'd you always keep in mind what you came through
Been through, let your life story represent you
Uh.. uh, but, it's never that simple
A little buzz make the homie think he too fly
Flight as heaven, lucky seven eleven
He knows nothin' 'ill stop his roll, except to die
Uh.. but, is it really worth losing life?
Or do we consider it livin' if we do it right?
Uh.. I guess there's nothin' else to do tonight
But, pray to God that he keep me...

From having a nightmare
[Hook 1: Dwayne Reed (x2)]
Having a nightmare, having a nightmare
Having a nightmare, having a nightmare
I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
Cause I'm..
[Hook 1: Dwayne Reed]
Having.. a nightmare, having a nightmare
Having a nightmare, having a nightmare
I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
[Verse 2: Yh]
Uh.. life is real good, there's never an average moment
I look at money fame and power as an added bonus
Every hour that we get is something God has loaned us
So, I'm just trying to make the best on his investment
On every single track, I sing and rap that's a testament
To this potential that the all mighty blessed me wit'
And I'mma use it to pursue goals, do shows
Cultivate new flows and vanquish any new foes
I hate the way this rule goes, I don't think it's quite fair
How we forget dreams, but still remember nightmares
To not be hindered by the fear is really quite rare
Especially, when you got them haters stand right there..
Uh.. but, that's exactly why I choose to fight
Cause I refuse to ever lose and go and prove 'em right
Uh.. I guess there's nothin' else to do tonight
But, pray to God that he keep me...
