No Nightmares

(album: From Seed To Sale - 2022)

(I got Traxx on this)

I faced my biggest fear, I have no regret
Before that, my eyes weren't open yet
You dream big and they tell you, "Don't hold your breath"
But things change when you almost come close to death
I faced my biggest fear, I have no regret
Before that, my eyes weren't open yet
You dream big and they tell you, "Don't hold your breath"
But things change when you almost come close to death
Things change when you almost come close to death
I'm blessed to see another day, I almost came close to death

The look on my pop's face remind me of my mom's place
When we first got that news, I almost lost faith
Couldn't look my kid in the eyes, plenty long days
Was out for eight hours, heard the nurses in the hallway
I guess they knew who I was, what a trip
I'm reaching for my phone, but I'm hooked up to a drip
The surgery went well, that's just the first chapter
Chemo got me down, I'm in need of some laughter
All alone for three months, forgot how it felt
To drink cold water and do something by myself
My fingertips numb, my feet burn too
It's a struggle just to eat my food

I faced my biggest fear, I have no regret
Before that, my eyes weren't open yet
You dream big and they tell you, "Don't hold your breath"
But things change when you almost come close to death
I faced my biggest fear, I have no regret
Before that, my eyes weren't open yet
You dream big and they tell you, "Don't hold your breath"
But things change when you almost come close to death
Things change when you almost come close to death
I'm blessed to see another day, I almost came close to death

It's 4:00 AM, I'm up, listening to the rain
I'm looking at my wife sleep and tryna shake the pain
No nightmares 'cause I haven't fell asleep
Been nauseous for a week, metal taste around my teeth
My body feeling frail and my skin is looking pale
The universe saved me, connected me with grail
Shout Dr. J, if it wasn't for that test
I wouldn't be here now, for that, I'm truly blessed
And now, I barely stress, I'm focused on this chance
To finish what I started, the world is in my hands
My daughter's growing up, and honestly, I'm glad
I'm still here to be her dad, the biggest fear I ever had, it's done

I faced my biggest fear, I have no regret
Before that, my eyes weren't open yet
You dream big and they tell you, "Don't hold your breath"
But things change when you almost come close to death
I faced my biggest fear, I have no regret
Before that, my eyes weren't open yet
You dream big and they tell you, "Don't hold your breath"
But things change when you almost come close to death
Things change when you almost come close to death
I'm blessed to see another day, I almost came close to death

I'm blessed to see another day, I almost came close to death
