Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Outside, I can hear 'em busting, busting, and the police they rushing
Go to my head like concussion, I'd rather not have this discussion
My mind racing for the elevation of the toxic in my blood
Where my mind don't know now, but I know where it was
I need Nikki, where is Nikki, baby girl, please come and get me
Now I'm old and shit is trippy, but I know that God is with me
This that baby mama drama, give a fuck about a man I know I'ma
Be there for my son, talking with my sister it begun
End of the month, that's the worst of the month
But the first of the month, put the weed in a blunt
That welfare check, check won't ever bounce like my daddy did
But I'm glad he did 'cause it made me strong, maybe help somebody with this song
Paint the picture of my life, growing up, what it was like
Section 8, grab a plate, food for thought, gravitate
Food stamps, social services tryna take me away
My mama locked up, I pray to God that I see her today
[Verse 2]
Maybe not, maybe so, West Deer Park, that's all I know
Just me and my homies, people that know me only ones that know
Around my way, livin' day by day
Corn rows and hang time, automatics and gang signs
Five-O with them canines, manhunt when it's game time
They was robbing the ice cream man in broad day
Now I'm running from the police don't know how, but I got away
Selling weed to my homies and a girl in the building that know me
At fifteen, such a fiend for the shit that I seen
All my homies smoking green, fucking bitches sipping lean
It was king, it was cool, seemed like something I should do
Such a youngin, such a fool, now I'm breaking into school
'Cause my homie told me to, what to do, what would you?
When will I lose my anonymity, and become one with the enemy
Tell me would I be the enemy, feel like nobody in front of me
I can feel the vibe
[Verse 3]
Bobby, what are you thinking?
What are you dreaming about?
Bobby, what's inside?
What are you thinking right now?
Go to sleep
[Verse 4]
I guess maybe I was thinking things would be different now
'Cause when I wake up, my dreams fade, everything cascade
In this vanilla sky, I feel like David Aames
Why must I open my eyes?
I wish I could stay asleep forever, attain ever goal I wanted
And watch it repeat forever, will it happen? Maybe never
Maybe so, I got to know, but tell me why
I picture myself at the top, but I know that I'm dreaming
Will I wake up before I finally confront all my demons?
Maybe not
All I know is this life I live, I can't live it no longer
Wish I was stronger, wish that I could survive
Turn on the TV, let it wash my brain
Pretend that family's my family to avoid the pain
Hello children, how was school? It was good, how 'bout you?
I love you, I love you, son, I love mama, too
Are you ready for dinner?
I'm able to set the table till I snap out the fable when that TV turn off
And I realize I'm back in hell
[Verse 5]
