dreaming

Every day I'm paying off my debt (I lie awake and face the ceiling) Take me back to that dream I had a while back Every time I try to sleep I toss and turn and grind my teeth Every day comes right after the last Every day the sand falls through the glass Every time I close my eyes, I feel the most alive Every time I go to bed, it's loudest in my head Every day I waste a little time Every day I lose a piece of my mind (I lie awake and face the ceiling) Help me find that dream I had in 2009 (The one with the alligators and ninjas in it) Take me back to rapping bout' shit that I care about My mother wasn't aware of my whereabouts In a new place, new city, new friends, some turn to enemies in the end I've grown so much since making that song, don't play it 'round me Tell me to my face if you got something to say about me I am not who they say I am very frequently Every day I wonder why we can't be treated equally I wish it was as simple as just shifting a frequency Then we could fix all of our problems very easily My family believes in me And as of recently, I've been living peacefully --- dreaming - Lil Darkie
