Nightmares
They tell me you can only dream when you fell asleep
But now I'm working to achieve and sleep's the only thing that I never see
And I vowed that my breathing will never cease
'Til they retrieved and I can't let them be
I won't let 'em leave and I've had the same feeling since seventeen
But I wasn't ready then like when the lemon's green
Now I'm in the magazines almost every week
'Cause I'm getting heat like in Tenerife
Right now it's better than it's never been
Never fade like a plant that's evergreen
That's what I hoped in my heart, but my self doubt's are getting me
Faith in my craft's getting dark by the day and I'm getting weak
'Cause I'm new, I'm not where the stars be
They chase dreams together like a slumber party
And now I'm on my own, even though I'm smooth sailing
I'm scared to sing 'cause my nightmare'll fade in
When the darkness creeps in
I feel my nightmares watching me
And when my dreams are sleeping
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa-oh, whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa-oh, whoa)
Watching me (whoa)
You better wake up 'cause I A-M making moves (uh)
And even when I'm dozing I'm breaking rules (no rules)
I'm only hitting the sack when I'm training
Too busy trying to keep up with the latest snooze
Made my bed and that's where I'm heading
I fly straight with the best man I embed 'em
Married to the game was a quiet wedding
then I had to fight to get her, now I'm taking (go)
control of my inception
'Cause they're try to hit my misses with my erection
See they better Maradona 'cause when I strike back
Not even Argentina's gonna cry for them
see I'm awake at night with the ammunit'
'cause the haters know where the family lives (come on)
Anyone I catch playing Knock Down Ginger's
gonna lose a lot more, than Annie did
They say sleep is the cousin of death
But I ain't hearing that shh, cousin, I'm-
Gang signs I'm in LA reading
I'm a CEO, mother suckers I'm next (Sway)
When the darkness creeps in
I feel my nightmares watching me
And when my dreams are sleeping
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa-oh, whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa-oh, whoa)
Watching me (whoa)
they're watching me, they watch me sleep
Let me go, ch'yeah, uh
I fell asleep on myself, woke up in reality
And daydream about losing my sanity
I've been rhyming forever got a blind flow
So I can see an off note with my eyes closed
But to achieve your dreams
you can't doze off cah your dream asleep
I ain't nodding off but I'm nodding to the beat
I be shocking in my sheets, when I should have been asleep
See, cah the dreams I'm fond of
You placed me in the team insomnia
Now, I Mr. Hard Worker
In my nightmares I'm Mr. Can't Turn Up
And I missed my chance, worst luck
Trying to hit women like Mr. Ike Turner
Yeah, but I walked from ish
Now they gotta put me to rest on my mattress
When the darkness creeps in
I feel my nightmares watching me
And when my dreams are sleeping
I feel my nightmares watching me
When the darkness creeps in
I feel my nightmares watching me
And when my dreams are sleeping
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa-oh, whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa-oh, whoa)
Watching me
