Baby girl told me in my sleep I was talkin   So it's only natural I asked her "what I said?"   She said she woke up when she heard   But she was so damn tired she couldn't make out a word   She said she was trying to see if eventually if I would scream the name of a bird   I told her "that's absurd"   And then gave her the face like "word?!"   And then she replied "yeah"   Said "it was quite weird", said she was type scared   I said "that's the side effect that you get when you trade bad dreams for some great nightmares"   When I close my eyes, I escape the poltergeist   My escape from reality just what I needed   Brings me to a place where shorty never cheated   And even if she tried and succeeded   In this other world I wouldn't even get heated   Fuck the details, I don't care about why   I'm chillin with my grandmother, she aint die   I was browsing online and seen Mike on that banner   And said "you can be like me and beat cancer"   Anything I touched I feel   Know its fiction but it seems so real   Was leaving out the casino with a nympho   Yes Ray it can be so simple   Here's how I avoid problem with my kin folk   Learn how to build me a house with no win   dows.. and that's when I think I saw a ribbon in the sky but it wasn't from an in   tro... cuz where I'm at there's no rumors or gossip but still got love for Miss In   fo... she said in my sleep I be laughing, but shit seem funny to me   My ice cream was 200 degrees   If it dripped I'd get a hole in my dungarees   See my animinoty is my protection   And me and hip hop have no connection   Which got me to reflecting   Is that why the mirror don't show my reflection   When I close my eyes there's no dollar   So we can stretch that one as an excuse   Of why folks do the things they do   Or why people act so brand new?   I had wings on flying outta prison with a ratchet   Was only there cuz someone snitched   No ones poor but no ones rich   Just my way of creeping if life's a bitch   Took a walk on the ceiling just to get my mind right   That was yesterday... so in hindsight   Since I was able to haul off   I took it as God telling my I'll never fall off   Got rid of the name brands and the jewelry   Most people just use it as medicine   Like it takes them somewhere they ain't never been   But here you better off not better then   Stuck in the room with an elephant   Open the closet and dapped up my skeleton   Had a convo with a man with no ears   And all of a sudden everything became so clear   Have no fear   I just bought a first class trip to nowhere, everybody goes there   But they don't stay the whole year,   Me I got 365 shows there   My girl said in my sleep I be walking, so I ask baby "where I go?"   She said I be walking slow,   She don't ever wanna get outta bed so she don't know   I went to see a man walking on water   Asked if he'd ever get things back in order   I been there two years over a quarter   But every time I open my eyes it's like torture   He said "please I gave you a whole other world for you to go do with as you please   Just so you appeased mixed with a couple of signs bout real life while you make believe"   So I teleported outta there with a grin   Met a bum with a mansion that invited me in   Then we politiced about politics   He mentioned def jam but I ain't acknowledge it   I went to see a virgin with AIDS, yea I thought about smashing that   Yea her ass was fat, so appealing   Tattoo on her inner thigh that said "she was doin better then she was feeling"   I think I seen shorty before, maybe in the club or something   Maybe in VIP, but wasn't nobody there but me   And the club was all red, and she started playing with my head   And then I came   Then I asked shorty whats her name and it was weird cuz she fucked around and disappeared   Like what a cruel joke   Cig lit but from it was no smoke   Flicked in the ashtray and seen Stack's face   Slashed to a school hallway on a half day   Was getting chased, couldn't tell by who   Then the hallway turned into a cliff   Screamin "piff" before I was dead   Somehow I jumped my ass up out that bed   Then baby girl told me in my sleep I was screaming   So I said "that's a lie"   She put her right hand in the sky   And said "you was but I don't know why"   Gotta go, goodbye..
