Baby girl told me in my sleep I was talkin
3
So it's only natural I asked her what I said? (said)
4
She said she woke up when she heard
5
But she was so damn tired she couldn't make out a word" (out a word)
6
She said she was tryin to see if eventually I would scream the name of a bird (bird)
7
I told her that's absurd ('surd), and then gave her the face like "word?" (word)
8
And then she replied yeah, said it was quite weird, said she was type scared
9
I said "that's a side effect that you get
10
when you trade bad dreams for some great nightmares" ('mares)
11
When I close my eyes (eyes), I escaped the Poltergeist
12
my escape from reality, just what I needed
13
Brings me to a place where shorty never cheated (hey!)
14
And even if she tried and succeeded
15
In this other world I wouldn't even get heated
16
Fuck (fuck) the details, I don't care about why
17
I'm chillin with my grandmother, she ain't die (she ain't die)
18
I was browsing online and seen Mike on a banner

Anything I touched, I'd feel (feel)
21
No inspection but it seemed so real (real)
22
Was leavin out the casino with a nympho
23
Yes, Ray it can be so simple (oh)
24
Here's how I arrive a problem with my kin folk
25
Learn how to build me a house with no win-dows
26
And that's when I think I saw a ribbon in the sky but it wasn't from an in-tro
27
'Cause where I'm at is no rumors or gossip but still got love for Ms. In-fo
28
She said in my sleep I'd be laughin, but shit be funny to me (oh)
29
Look, my ice cream was two hundred degrees
30
if it dripped, I'd get a hole in my dungarees
31
See, my anonymity is my protection (what else?)
32
and me and hip-hop have no connection (what else?)
33
Which got me to reflectin, is that why the mirror won't show my reflection?
34
When I close my eyes, there's no dollars
35
so we can scratch that one as an excuse (or)
36
Or why folks do the things they do (or)
37
or why people act so brand new (let's go)
38
I had wings on flyin out a prison with a ratchet
39
was only there 'cause someone snitched
40
Look (look here), no one's poor but no one's rich
41
just my way of creepin if life's a bitch
42
Took a walk on the ceiling just to get my mind right
43
That was yesterday (so), so in hindsight
44
Since I was able to haul off
45
I took it as God tellin me I'll never fall off (off)
46
Got rid of name brands in the jewelry (why?)
47
most people just use it as medicine
48
Like it take 'em somewhere they ain't never been (but)
49
but here you better off not better than (oh!)
50
Stuck in the room with a elephant
51
Opened the closet and dapped up my skeleton
52
Had a convo with a man with no ears
53
And all of a sudden everything became so clear (clear)
54
Have no fear, I just bought a first class trip to nowhere - everybody goes there
55
But they don't stay the whole year, me? I got three hundred and sixty-five shows there
56
My girl said in my sleep, I'd be walkin (walkin), so I ask baby, where I go?
57
Uh, she said I be walkin slow
58
but she don't ever want to get out of bed, so she don't know
59
I went to see a man walkin on water (and)
60
Asked if he'd ever get things back in order (and)
61
I've been there two years, over a quarter
62
But everytime I open my eyes, it's like torture (torture)
63
He said "please, I gave you a whole 'nother world for you to go do with as you please
64
Just so you appeased, mixed with a couple of signs about real life while you make believe"
65
So I (so I), teleported out of there with a grin
66
Met a bum with a mansion, invited me in
67
Then (then), we politiced, about politics

I think I seen shorty before (like), maybe in a club or somethin

And the club was all red (red)
76
Then she started playin with my head (my head)
77
And then I came
