Alex Faith & Dre Murray City Of Nightmares II (feat. Ada-L)
[Verse 1: Dre Murray]
Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up
Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed
And the white van take off
'Til we takin' chances, say it ain't advancin'
Reach for our and now we on the moon like dancin'
And we sold, I done traded life for my soul
But until you walk a mile in my soles
Your responses shouldn't be cold
I've got money here, it don't fold
I've shot shooters up in my fold
Yeah I'm sticking to the G code
See the story here will be told
See this life is all that I know
Yeah a hundred's all and I go
Everyday I'm checking this gold
Leaving bodies all on that floor
Yo they say I'm Tony with it, they acting phoney with it
You want my life, well you feel lucky?
Try to come and get it
Protecting the devil with every sharp breath
That you're passing away
I caught me a body, I tip for the ride
He's got nothing to say
Just throw me in hell
I mean throw me in jail
I'm stuck in this nightmare, but trapped in a cell
[Hook: Ada-L]
Don't you wake me up
Don't you wake me up please
Havin' dreams of that best life and that luxury (dreamin')
Living good with closed eyes
Not realising the price paid for paradise
Wait one minute hold up
This dream's getting too hard to bear
Suddenly my dreams are turning to a nightmare (dreamin')
Puttin' it down for that A-Town
Got a blinker back, won't switch lanes with my top down
[Verse 2: Alex Faith]
On there sittin' on the street corner
Chain their fence to the back drive
Gold chain showing that he a baller
Gym socks stuffed full of crack rocks
My whole life I wanna be that
Tall white tens, some fresh Nikes
My life different gotta be glad
Lord came and it was oh so timely
Uncle just got out of prison now
And you know I copied everything
My parents lost and they don't know how
All this stuff's getting in my brain
Clayton County public schools is realer than the videos
On MTV and BET, so you know how the story goes
In a city full of nightmares, Riverdale
There's some good times but it's a living hell
I was picked on for my white skin
So I would knuckle up in my life of sin
Weren't taking that so we could get to scrapping
And I lost a lot but I earned respect
Eventually your boy started rapping
Outkast stayin' up in my deck
I loved it, idolized it, everything about street life
In the South, we was taught to get toe'd up under them streetlights
My first blunt, I was 14
With them red eyes in that back seat
Three years later I woke up
Where the Lord came and he saved me, no more dreamin'
[Hook: Ada-L]
Don't you wake me up
Don't you wake me up please
Havin' dreams of that fast life and that luxury (dreamin')
Living good with closed eyes
Not realising the price paid for paradise
Wait one minute hold up
This dream's getting too hard to bear
Suddenly my dreams are turning to a nightmare (dreamin')
Puttin' it down for that A-Town
Got a blinker back, won't switch lanes with my top down
[Outro]
Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up
Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed
And the white van take off
Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up
Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed
And the white van take off
Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up
Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed
And the white van take off
Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up
Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed
And the white van take off
