[00:15.13]But if I do, i will never know
[00:17.16]Come on see
[00:17.97]I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
[00:21.22]That the world will know about me
[00:23.04]Tell me to settle down
[00:25.68]But I can’t stick around
[00:26.90]No no come on see
[00:28.31]I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
[00:31.56]That the world will know about me
[00:33.59]Lights out, alarm set, before I go to sleep
[00:35.82]Wake up to the feeling of the ocean breeze
[00:38.46]Check the time my Casio, but the batteries dead
[00:40.89]Nina Simone on the gramophone, I lay back in my bed
[00:43.73]20syl on the patio, rapping in French
[00:46.37]Got me scratching my head
[00:49.20]Tab One makes cameo, I must be asleep
[00:51.44]‘ Wake Up Banks’ damn, can't a brother just dream
[00:54.07]I got a Facebook message from this cat name Banks
[00:56.71]Saying we should link on a track, that would be dank
[00:59.34]I said, hit me with the email, attach a few instrumentals
[01:02.18]I could get a pad and pencil; I won’t get to sentimental
[01:04.82]We could keep it simple, talk about our dreams of rocking mics
[01:07.86]Never met, but I could tell that we're a lot alike
[01:10.29]All a sudden woke up like what the hell was that
[01:12.73]Then I turned on the radio and heard this track
[01:14.76]They tell me just let it go
[01:17.60]But if I do, i will never know
[01:20.03]Come on see
[01:20.64]I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
[01:23.88]That the world will know about me
[01:25.71]Tell me to settle down
[01:28.14]But I can’t stick around
[01:29.56]No no come on see
[01:30.98]I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
[01:34.23]That the world will know about me
[01:36.25]Now if I dream while I’m lying in my bed, then I’m sleeping
[01:38.89]Do it when I’m walking wide awake, I’m achieving
[01:41.32]Many man dreaming, never act on it
[01:43.96]And I swore that I would never do that shit, dag gone it
[01:46.59]I’m a mac of conviction, man with decisions
[01:49.23]Man with the grammar for fans so let me get them
[01:51.67]Man with the plan, my plan is to hand vision
[01:54.30]Out to the people; let them see how I been living
[01:56.94]See that light through the prism, and colours I’ve been given
[01:59.78]Dip my brush in it and use it to paint scenes
[02:02.22]A man ain’t alive if a man can’t dream
[02:04.85]And ain’t a man alive breathing that could disagree
[02:07.48]See this is straight sleep walking from NC to the down under
[02:10.12]Me and Coin Banks waking MC’s out of slumber
[02:12.76]What’s your sleep number? Mines infinity with the energy
[02:15.39]Living out a dream in reality is the remedy
[02:17.42]They tell me just let it go
[02:20.47]But if I do, i will never know
[02:22.29]Come on see

[02:41.35]Had a dream I said like Jigga said
[02:43.38]A vignette from a vineyard, but life is a silhouette
[02:45.81]Trying to raise the bar that Dilla set, allow me to interject
[02:49.26]If we slept more and didn’t dream at all
[02:50.48]Would we evolve? Hell nahh
[02:52.30]Life’s a free for all; ya got to reach for yours
[02:54.33]Ya life is a lucid dream, homie just shoot the scene
[02:56.97]Those that achieve are really far and a few between
[03:00.01]Thomas Lawrence said we dangerous men
[03:01.83]I live my dreams in the day so I’m awake in my bed
[03:04.88]But if sleep is the cousin of death
[03:07.72]I guess, dreams are a way to get in touch with the dead
[03:09.95]So lately I ain’t sleeping awake in the late evenings
[03:12.58]Carpe diem, no time for daydreaming
[03:15.22]Homie we crave freedom and change, so break free from ya chains
[03:18.66]And make peace with ya pain, Are you asleep or awake?
[03:20.04]They tell me just let it go
[03:22.67]But if I do, i will never know
[03:24.50]Come on see
[03:25.31]I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
