Awake Dreaming

(album: Hunger Pains - 2013)

He was a small time hustla with no name
No shame, just a product to the cocaine, old stains
Seen him walking in the cold rain
With no brains for a profit he would go slained
He was hungry, he do crime just to do it, doing lines
He'd abuse it then his mind were consuming
He didn't know that we was buried in his own grave
'Cause all he ever wanted was those Jordans and the gold chain
A typical teen, wicked... hitting the street
In the cypher he was always spitting and kicking them frees
He never had a send off, he was sniffing off keys
A drug addict, age twenty, money clip in his jeans
Girls loved him 'cause they seen he had a heavy wallet
Steady falling, never ready for the daddy got in
All this misconception had him so delirious
So here he is, completely unaware that this is serious

He don't think he need help
'Cause he's living in the dream right now
(Awake dreaming)
He was hungry, now he's got a bit of money
He's awake when the lights go out
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he's running from the demons
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he's running from the demons
(Awake dreaming)

Life was easy, he was living like he had it all
He didn't realize to walk it first you have to crawl
So every night he sniff at least another half of ball
Too scared to answer, held at ransom when it's casket calls
He laugh it off and pour a shot and chop another up
Like what the fuck are you doing stupid, you out of luck
I would bruck, now we this is
Now it's tough, and half of time he doesn't realize
The powder's cutted
Completely out of it, he laced it with a nose bleed
He's heart's beating but he's brain is at a slow speed
With no sleep, he doesn't function 'cause he won't eat
He's so weak, he's on the verge, about to OD
Where does he turn to when he needs a fucking helping hand
No ones there to save him now because he's less a man
They seen him go from top to bottom, and they stopped caring
And now he's dying all alone because he lost awareness

He don't think he need help
'Cause he's living in the dream right now
(Awake dreaming)
He was hungry, now he's got a bit of money
He's awake when the lights go out
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he's running from the demons
(Awake dreaming)
Yeah, he used to these feelings
So he's running from the demons
(Awake dreaming)
