[Part I]
In my dreams full screen themes and brainstorms
Thoughts out of line, humming the same song
In my dreams, fourteen wishing the pain's gone
Grand-daddy saying: You've gut to stay strong
In my dreams, we've never left home, it's all love
Never left the kind of folks I call blood ...
What began as a youngster's small grudge
Made kids run on the streets and bust slugs
In my dreams, missiles and bombshells
The type of f**ing dreams, my man Sadam sells
My heaven, beyond hell
In my dreams I listen to things my mom tells
Walk in my dreams, talk in my dreams
Find my outlines in chalk in my dreams
Had to escape from New York in my dreams
And everything's grimy and dark in my dreams!
[Part II]
In my dreams I wished I could freeze the time
My dreams revolve around beats & rhymes
To spit the realest sh** MCs can find
And watch the industry that l leave behind
I rather go back to making demos than cutting records
See, my music is more than touching methods
In my dreams my boys will recognize the effort
A record-company is nothing but a shepherd in my dreams
A nine to live, a nice whip ...
A few mouths to feed, waiting for the right pitch ...
I ain't trying to front player, l like this
Since they claim my songs are too incisive
In my dreams, true love and friendship lasts
f** the loot I'm finna spent it fast
On ice and fur-coats and expensive a**
Dreams l'm seeing through plexigla**
[Part III]
In my dreams I rock rags, avis & clarks
Just one in a million, playing my part
In ciphers with Dolo, trading our hearts
On the concrete-jungle: State of the Art
In my dreams, I kept it real a long time ago
Before there have been NT3's and them cyber-hoes
Before kids knew KRS in ldaho
Before making my first tape in 94 ...
In my dreams a human out of flesh
Forgive me but I refuse to be the best!?
Rasul, disillusioned and depressed
In my dreams I pop a deuce in your chest ...
L'm slill slinging rocks in my dreams
Still the school of hard-knocks in my dreams
Still them big guns and cops in my dreams
Hip Hup got me shadowboxing with my dreams
