Thomas Lawrence(feat. Anders, Tab-One & 20Syl) - Coin Banks/20syl/Tab-One/Anders
Some o' y'all just don't understand
So- so- some o' y'all just don't understand
They tell me just let it go
But if I do I'll 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
20syl
Got me scratching my head
Tab one makes a cameo I must be asleep
Yo wake up Banks D**n can't a brother just dream
Tab one
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 too 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 of 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'll 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 men dream and never act on it
And I swore that
I would never do that s**t dag gone it
I'm a man of conviction man with decisions
Man with the grammar for fans so let me get 'em
Man with the plan my plan is to hand visions
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 would 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
Mine is infinity with the energy
You're living out a dream and reality is the remedy
They tell me just let it go
But if I do I'll 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 nah
Life's a free for all you gotta to reach for yours
Your life is a lucid dream homie just shoot the scene
Those that achieve are really far
And a few between
Thomas Lawrence said we're 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 your chains
And make peace with your pain
Are you asleep or awake
They tell me just let it go
But if I do I'll 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
