I Dream

"Every time I get up to the front of the line, they push me back to the rear." Pushed Back to the rear Open up your ears And hear what I say 19-9 whatever [Chorus]: "I had a dream last night" "I had a dream last night" "I had a dream last night" "I had a dream last night" [Verse One]: I'll never forget it At the bus stop headed For the bud stop, let it be a buckshot that came my way So I dived imbedded between a shadow and a tree Ain't no nigga gonna kills me If I could just bust a move and get myself in a bus then I can leave Cause I don't wanna get my cap peeled Cause I don't wanna wear a weave Then the shot stopped And I seen a cop at the coffee shop, I drop Tuck, rolled, hop to where he was at and I said, "Yo Oc The bad bwoy licka likkle shot." He put the donut to his face and giggled His partner sort of sniggled It seems to me they were both a little tickled And I hated I didn't have my nickle Plated, toy steel With six hot meatballs tearing out your shell So I bail And then I heard the screech of an El Camino being tailed by a doobie Truly This ain't the place to be so I jetted Headed, to another place where I would not regret it Then I walked in a hardware store Lookin' hard to find the 2 by 4 to rock his helmet So I asked the cashier "Looka here You gotta drill bit to kill it? I feel it's near now disappear Split, get back to the room in the rear and sit And I'mma count the amount I'm about to hit." Yo, I was greedy for the papes By the way I need some tape Cause if he escape I'mma bust his grape I said, "Old man, tell me where the tape at And I'm out." I was askin' for the last kid, to cover up his mouth He said, "The only tape I got is torn tape A little bit of duct tape Some ? when you're born tape Hip hop's got tapes, a little rock and a pop tape Last is my fast tape, OH and my jazz tape Yo!" I said, "Look, I DON'T WANT TROUBLE I'LL QUICKLY BUST YOUR BUBBLE, on the double Now somebody call a medic, forget it Better just call a morgue man, a ? A dead body dresser With the cold clammy hands cause I'mma make this man a date with a stretcher Ha! Hoh! Ha! [Chorus]: "I had a dream last night" "Oh yeah" "I had a dream last night" "Oh yeah" "I had a dream last night" "Oh yeah" "I had a dream last night" "Oh yeah" [Verse Two]: I'll never forget it On the Greyhound, headed Up to Raytown, let it, be a fat joint that got me blowed So I slept in, embedded between the window and the seat Hope nobody interrupt my sleep If I can just tell ya what had happened to me when I was dreamin' that day First of all, see I'm one of those brothers that'll tell it like it is see? I ain't the one to be beatin' around nobody else's bush either Cause I'm straight forward and to the point and I won't hold my tongue Now I was down and under the 25th and Gayle You know, by the liquor sto' Where the old man drink Old Crow And the same old man with the same ole baseball cap Comin' up to me with that same old rap Walkin' with a limp and thinks he's a mack Well he might have been back in the days, but I don't know nothin' 'bout that So you know, I walks in the store You know I gets my bottle of juice and I gets my trail mix Can I have my trail mix Can I have that real shit you know? You know, huh, peanuts, raisins, dates and banana chips Well, anyway so So, I pays for my little items you know I gets my change And I gets my bag and I walks out the door feelin' strange And I looks around and I come face to face Face to face, FACE TO FACE With the same brother and he says "YOU, ARE A NIGGA." [Chorus]: "I had a dream last night" [Verse Three]: I'll never forget it At the bus stop headed For the bud stop, let it be a buckshot that came my way So I dived imbedded between a shadow and a tree Ain't no nigga gonna kills me If I could just bust a move and get myself on a bus then I can leave Cause I don't wanna get my cap peeled Cause I don't wanna wear a weave Then the shot stopped And I seen a cop at the coffee shop, I drop Tuck, rolled, hop to where he was at and I said, "Yo Oc The bad bwoy licka likkle shot."
