[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
