In a Dream

(chorus)

I?m wanderin free..just living in a dream..

Every day that goes by..is the same old thing

(Verse 1)

I push myself out of bed and wrestle with the clock

Every day this battle?s fought, snooze buttons a flop

But today I win the struggle, with time to cuddle

Embrace my girl to keep my mind outta trouble

Hear the bubble of the bong envelope the smoke

Clear the bowl take a toke leaving me in a choke

?ring? your a joke! all in my ear through the phone

That?s my OTHER girl, the one that hates when I?m stoned

So I?m torn but I know where my heart is

But the temptress's so inventive when I spark it

Seducin me with her words in different ways I never heard

The pipe or the girl.. which one do I prefer?

Thinking too much, I need to get my ass to school

Always late to class in fact barely getting through

Grades are slippin, minds flippin on me

Thinking crazy thoughts man it?s like a dream

(chorus)

I?m wanderin free..just living in a dream..

Every day that goes by..is the same old thing

(Verse 2)

So now I?m on the shame train bus 23

Thinkin bout friends, foes and family

Like how my best friend was family to me

Till making friends with the foe to become my enemy

But see, times weren?t always ugly like that

From first girl kiss to thrown fist he had my back

Until his train of thought got derailed off track

By that rock known as crack placed in his path

But how could I tell? he played it off real well

Smooth talker with the ladies who made his stories gel

In and out of jail with babies on the way

Kicked out of his crib, so with me I let him stay

Loaning him cash for rainy days and entertainment

But at that rate, sun rays came like his payments

In fact, his payback robbing the crib like R. Kelly

Money taken from me, like he was not guilty

And never found exit only his next hit

His will power had biceps but couldn't flex it

Now he?s in prison forgiven I won't forget

Our youth and how surreal this life can get...

(chorus)

I?m wanderin free..just living in a dream..

Every day that goes by..is the same old thing

(Verse 3)

Yo my exit?s here, i hit the bell for the bus stop

Still in a zone, herb does that when you must talk

My girls waiting, arms folded with that look

The look that makes me want to go to sleep or read text books

Man what do I tell her, I know who I?d choose

But before my lips could move, she leaves me confused

Off in the distance, she's shrinking from view

But I guess that?s the truth on this path I pursue

Where focus is gone, smoking every night

Choking from bongs, blunts, pipes, and this life

I need to make things right I wanna feel what?s real

Cause livin? in a dream got my purpose concealed

So I gaze at my classmates, running with backpacks

Rushing like they cared so much what if I had that?

I ask that as I pick up me feet

Showered by sunrays but wandering free

And blend into the scene where things aint what they seem

Into a scene where things ain?t what they seem

Searching for a moment of clarity?

It?s like I?m living in a dream.
