They tell me just let it go
But if I do, i will never know
Come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
Tell me to settle down
But I can’t stick around
No no come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
Lights out, alarm set, before I go to sleep
Wake up to the feeling of the ocean breeze
Check the time my Casio, but the batteries dead
Nina Simone on the gramophone, I lay back in my bed
20syl on the patio, rapping in French
Got me scratching my head
Tab One makes cameo, I must be asleep
‘ Wake Up Banks’ damn, can't a brother just dream
I got a Facebook message from this cat name Banks
Saying we should link on a track, that would be dank
I said, hit me with the email, attach a few instrumentals
I could get a pad and pencil; I won’t get to sentimental
We could keep it simple, talk about our dreams of rocking mics
Never met, but I could tell that we're a lot alike
All a sudden woke up like what the hell was that
Then I turned on the radio and heard this track
They tell me just let it go
But if I do, i will never know
Come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
Tell me to settle down
But I can’t stick around
No no come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
Now if I dream while I’m lying in my bed, then I’m sleeping
Do it when I’m walking wide awake, I’m achieving
Many man dreaming, never act on it
And I swore that I would never do that shit, dag gone it
I’m a mac of conviction, man with decisions
Man with the grammar for fans so let me get them
Man with the plan, my plan is to hand vision
Out to the people; let them see how I been living
See that light through the prism, and colours I’ve been given
Dip my brush in it and use it to paint scenes
A man ain’t alive if a man can’t dream
And ain’t a man alive breathing that could disagree
See this is straight sleep walking from NC to the down under
Me and Coin Banks waking MC’s out of slumber
What’s your sleep number? Mines infinity with the energy
Living out a dream in reality is the remedy
They tell me just let it go
But if I do, i will never know
Come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
Tell me to settle down
But I can’t stick around
No no come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
I’m in my bed in my old Hilfiger sweats
Had a dream I said like Jigga said
A vignette from a vineyard, but life is a silhouette
Trying to raise the bar that Dilla set, allow me to interject
If we slept more and didn’t dream at all
Would we evolve? Hell nahh
Life’s a free for all; ya got to reach for yours
Ya life is a lucid dream, homie just shoot the scene
Those that achieve are really far and a few between
Thomas Lawrence said we dangerous men
I live my dreams in the day so I’m awake in my bed
But if sleep is the cousin of death
I guess, dreams are a way to get in touch with the dead
So lately I ain’t sleeping awake in the late evenings
Carpe diem, no time for daydreaming
Homie we crave freedom and change, so break free from ya chains
And make peace with ya pain, Are you asleep or awake?
They tell me just let it go
But if I do, i will never know
Come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
Tell me to settle down
But I can’t stick around
No no come on see
I dream that the world will know about me, bout me
That the world will know about me
