Waking Up to a Dream

7:50AM, alarm set I got plans coming up haven’t started yet Now we got a full house Errors weightlifting good thing I got a hard head Dreaming about my future while I’m playing my guitar in bed My three-pointer on the pavement getting kind of wet Yeah maybe not They used to call me Swish, but honestly I kind of graduated that What are we gonna lose Politics torn in two We don't know what to do We tryna go All-American by watching Spence on Netflix depends But that's probably not gonna do it Re-recorded the last line three times I kinda blew it Free Burma that was something and I had to chew it Yo I gotta make this something I already knew it I’m a good guy, no Putin Now I’m trying to be careful where a put allegiance Finding ways to go outside and watch the change of seasons We ain’t gonna let the mess tear our world in pieces Nowadays we only got digital teachers And I ain’t gonna call this rap the quarantine rap Everybody and their dad they already did that When I release the next track I won't put it in ALL CAPS Everybody and their dad they already did that When we start using our dreams to get away from a reality That’s not the place you wanna be The voices in my head are telling me the past was always better But I need to let it rest in peace Staying stable mentally, knowing what is meant to be You can be sane as you want sanity’s not the recipe People that are friends with me, people that are kin to me, we need lots of empathy What’s the key to inner peace Write it, get a pencil please Tryna find a way to resonate with the protests and why you ticked at me I’m researching tryna figure out what is and isn’t true but all while social distancing Come to figure out I still know more about a histomine Tell me about the history Without throwing fists at me These days falling asleep feels Like waking up and waking up feels like the start of a dream I was careful in my life Was it man to not cut fam up my life Hell if I only had 3 strikes I was tryna get to places, get to phases, get to stages with 3 mics Now to campus on my bike Reprimanded I left fantasy was mad when they got Mike Don’t shoot man and don’t you gamble that’s the plan and then came Christ Guys in BAM when I got family I met Shannon at the Pines He gave Clarence wings, so nice Didn’t have no parents’ Visa right?
