歌詞
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 tryna see if eventually
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 a 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 ain't die
I was browsin' online and seen Mike on a banner
That said, "you can be like me and beat cancer"
Anything I touched I'd feel
Know it's fiction but it seemed so real
Was leavin' out the casino with a nympho
Yes, Rae, it can be so simple
Here's how I avoid a problem with my kinfolk
Learned how to build me a house with no windows
And that's when I think I saw a ribbon in the sky
But it wasn't from an intro
'Cause where I'm at it's no rumors or gossip
But still got love for Ms. Info
She said in my sleep I be laughin'
But shit be funny to me
Look, my ice dream was two hundred degrees
If it dripped, I'd get a hole in my dungarees
See, my anonymity is my protection
And me and hip-hop have no connection
Which got me to reflectin'
Is that why the mirror won't show my reflection?
When I close my eyes, it's no dollars
So we can scratch that one as an excuse
Of why folks do the things they do
Or of why people act so brand new
I had wings on flyin' out of prison with a ratchet
Was only there 'cause someone snitched
Look, no one's poor but no one's rich
Just my way of creepin' 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 tellin' me I'll never fall off
Got rid of name brands and the jewelry
Most people just use it as medicine
Like it take 'em somewhere they ain't never been
But here you better off, not better than
Stuck in a room with an elephant
Opened a 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 three hundred and sixty-five shows there
My girl said in my sleep I be walkin'
So I asked, "baby, where I go?"
She said I be walkin' slow
But she don't ever wanna get out of bed so she don't know
I went to see a man walkin' 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 'nother 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 out of there with a grin
Met up home with a mansion, invited me in
Then we politic about politics
Said somethin' 'bout Def Jam, I ain't acknowledge it
I went to see a virgin with AIDS
Yeah, I thought about smashin' that
Yeah, her ass was fat, so appealin'
Tattoo on her inner thigh said she doin' better than she was feelin'
I think I seen shorty before
Maybe in a club or somethin'
Look, maybe in VIP but wasn't nobody there but me
And the club was all red
Then she started playin' with my head
And then I came
Then I asked shorty what's her name
And it was weird 'cause she fucked around, disappeared
Like what a cruel joke
Cig lit but from it was no smoke
Flicked in the ashtray and seen Stat's face
Flashed through a school hallway on a half day
Was gettin' 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 screamin'
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"
