Im in a state where il'd prefer a dream
my sanity's breakin but that remains unseen
my perception of this life has been altered
is anything pure or has it all been faultered
slowly dying, waisting away
can any1 save me from this state of decay
I come home from a day of tedious chores
to this prison of stone & its hard wooden floors
stressing each day, I gotta leave this life
i ain't ready 2 settle down just 2 have some whore as my wife
stuck with 2 freedoms; the internet & my mobile phone
I need just 1 thing; some1 2 save me from this hell of my own
they can't hear me, I ain't got no fanfare
but not american so there is no welfare
I have a dream, a pad, a pen
& an opinion of my own i wanna make it rappin
but this is out of my reach, I have no credentials
only a beaten mic & a PC stripped down 2 the bare essentials
I write a few rhymes just bustin wot i c
try a few gigs, but nobodys feelin me
Scip foward a few months
that time was all a blur of alcohol n bluntz
rollin down the street i c my man die in a rifle "accident"
now all that remains is a memory & a block of concrete
the times dont change ppl do I learned this the hard way
I relised this as his body was dragged away
I have 2 continue if not 4 my sake 4 his
I gotta make ppl acknoledge me b4 im taken from this biz
Im stuck in a state where i prefer a dream
my sanitys breakin but that remains unseen
my preception of life has been altered
is anything pure or has it all been faultered
slowly dying, waisting away
can any1 save me from this state of decay
my posters starin at me with lifeless eyes
inside me pusled an anger i could not discuise
my pen hot im my hand, paper cluttering the floor
I decided 2 try again, remade & stronger than b4
i had a reason & now the rhyme 2 acompany it
i relised unless u have somethin 2 give the world it won't give u shit
i had it now, i recorded my new flows
sent it out 2 the clubs, got booked in 4 multiple shows
more interest this time ppl started 2 b infulenced
by my words 4 this time i was more expirenced
feelin the pirks of the high life
so many women how can i choose a wife
it can only escalate from here
i need 2 extend my influence make the world hear
the pain of a constant hang-over from the party life
a thing i need 2 endure 2 mask the grief
this is my big chance rumors have reached my ears
a tallent scout hidden in the crowd, 2 faulter now would mean my fear
would become reality
ignoring the jeers from those tryin 2 stop me
its now or never my heart races
time 2 show the industry wot it faces
my life is like a dream
my words r noticed i can hear them scream
my perception of life has been altered
the skys the limit i cant b faultered
slowly my past life is slipping away
leave me 2 live cause now cash has entered the fray
the phone rings, as do my ears
last night is a blur, either a night of succes or of relised fears
the smell of alochol fills the air
i let the machine answer it wot do i care
my 2nd album has hit the streets
filled with provocotive rhymes n bass filled beats
news of platnium status n my world tour confirmed
the 1st stop my home town 2 c how much its changed
the atmosphere is high, the air filled with smoke
part from the smoke machine the remainder from chronic
I c old friends in the crowd, mesmarised
followin my evey action like they were hipnotised
success the ultimate goal
its either that or stuck in a life time of gaol
my life is like a dream
my words r noticed i can hear them scream
my perception of life has been altered
the skys the limit i cant b faultered
slowly my past life is slipping away
leave me 2 live cause now cash has entered the fray
