Awake Dreaming - Merkules

He was a small time hustla with no name

No shame, just a product to the cocaine, old stains

Seen him walkin' in the cold rain

With no brains for a profit he would go slained

He was hungry, he do crime just to do it, doin' lines

He’d abuse it then his mind were consuming

He didn’t know that we was buried in his own grave

'Cause all he ever wanted was those Jordans and the gold chain

A typical teen

In the cypher he was always spittin' and kickin' them frees

He never had a send off, he was sniffin' off keys

A drug addict, age twenty, money clip in his jeans

Girls loved him 'cause they seen he had a heavy wallet

Steady fallin', never ready for the daddy got in

All this misconception had him so delirious

So here he is, completely unaware that this is serious

He don’t think he need help

Cause he’s livin' in the dream right now

He was hungry, now he’s got a bit of money

He’s awake when the lights go out

Yeah, he used to these feelings

So he’s runnin' from the demons

Yeah, he used to these feelings

So he’s runnin' from the demons

Life was easy, he was livin' like he had it all

He didn’t realize to walk it first you have to crawl

So every night he sniff at least another half of ball

Too scared to answer, held at ransom when it’s casket calls

He laugh it off and pour a shot and chop another up

Like what the fuck are you doin' stupid, you out of luck

I would bruck, now we this is

Now it’s tough, and half of time he doesn’t realize

The powder’s cutted

Completely out of it, he laced it with a nose bleed

He’s heart’s beatin' but he’s brain is at a slow speed

With no sleep, he doesn’t function 'cause he won’t eat

He’s so weak, he’s on the verge, about to OD

Where does he turn to when he needs a fuckin' helping hand

No ones there to save him now because he’s less a man

They seen him go from top to bottom, and they stopped carin'

And now he’s dyin' all alone because he lost awareness

He don’t think he need help

Cause he’s livin' in the dream right now

He was hungry, now he’s got a bit of money

He’s awake when the lights go out

Yeah, he used to these feelings

So he’s runnin' from the demons

Yeah, he used to these feelings

So he’s runnin' from the demons

Yo, man, pass that light over here

Trynna get this joint goin'

You ain’t heard me, fool?

I said pass the light

Yo, this dude is at sleep, he ain’t gettin' up

How much with that shit you can piss a guy, man

Get up, man

Yeah, I tried shakin' him, he won’t get up

Get up, fool

Naaah, man

Yo, someone pass the phone, man

This guy won’t get up, man
