Awake Dreaming Songtext
von Merkules

He was a small time hustla with no name
No shame, just a product to the cocaine, old stains
Seen him walkin′ in the cold rain
With no brains for a profit he would go slained
He was hungry, he do crime just to do it, doin' lines
He′d abuse it then his mind were consuming
He didn't know that we was buried in his own grave
'Cause all he ever wanted was those Jordans and the gold chain
A typical teen, wicked... hittin′ the street
In the cypher he was always spittin′ and kickin' them frees
He never had a send off, he was sniffin′ off keys
A drug addict, age twenty, money clip in his jeans
Girls loved him 'cause they seen he had a heavy wallet
Steady fallin′, never ready for the daddy got in
All this misconception had him so delirious
So here he is, completely unaware that this is serious


He don't think he need help
′Cause he's livin' in the dream right now
(Awake dreaming)
He was hungry, now he′s got a bit of money
He′s awake when the lights go out
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he's runnin′ from the demons
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he's runnin′ from the demons
(Awake dreaming)

Life was easy, he was livin' like he had it all
He didn′t realize to walk it first you have to crawl
So every night he sniff at least another half of ball
Too scared to answer, held at ransom when it's casket calls
He laugh it off and pour a shot and chop another up
Like what the fuck are you doin' stupid, you out of luck
I would bruck, now we this is
Now it′s tough, and half of time he doesn′t realize
The powder's cutted
Completely out of it, he laced it with a nose bleed
He′s heart's beatin′ but he's brain is at a slow speed
With no sleep, he doesn′t function 'cause he won't eat
He′s so weak, he′s on the verge, about to OD
Where does he turn to when he needs a fuckin' helping hand
No ones there to save him now because he′s less a man
They seen him go from top to bottom, and they stopped carin'
And now he′s dyin' all alone because he lost awareness


He don′t think he need help
'Cause he's livin′ in the dream right now
(Awake dreaming)
He was hungry, now he′s got a bit of money
He's awake when the lights go out
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he′s runnin' from the demons
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he′s runnin' from the demons
(Awake dreaming)

Yo, man, pass that light over here
Trynna get this joint goin′
You ain't heard me, fool? I said pass the light
Yo, this dude is at sleep, he ain't gettin′ up
How much with that shit you can piss a guy, man
Get up, man
Yeah, I tried shakin′ him, he won't get up
Get up, fool
Naaah, man
Yo, someone pass the phone, man
This guy won′t get up, man
