Nightmare Lyrics

This ain't no daydream it's a nightmare

This ain't no play scheme we have to fight here

I've lost so many friends to the roads

They play with knives here

It's so scary on these roads

Protect your life here

This ain't no daydream it's a nightmare

This ain't no play scheme we have to fight here

We're just trying to make it out when you see my guys here

I pray we'll make it out

It's a matter on time yeah

I want the money not the fame

Because that's all long like lordship lane

On the verge of a mental breakdown

I think i need a lucky break

Feeling like steve mcqueen

So i'm planning the great escape

This brutal world ain't for me

Because i grew up on love not hate

I stay consistent repetition

Business minded proposition

And why when i get on the train another youth want's a staring competition

Notice when a white youth looks at my creps

I think he's trying to pay me a compliment

But when a black youth looks at my creps

I think he's trying to knock my confidence

Divide and conquer it's working

It's my people dem they're hurting

See the day that we come together

They can't stop us we'll be murking

I took a L and i kept on learning

Trying to become a better person

Getting closer to god

I feel the powers exerting

This ain't no daydream it's a nightmare

This ain't no play scheme we have to fight here

I've lost so many friends to the roads

They play with knives here

It's so scary on these roads

Protect your life here

This ain't no daydream it's a nightmare

This ain't no play scheme we have to fight here

We're just trying to make it out when you see my guys here

I pray we'll make it out

It's a matter on time yeah

Mum's on my case wanting me to be safe

I told her i need some space

I'm just a normal civilian

She's moving like i got something on my waist

But then again i can't even blame her

Nowadays the streets are cray (cray cray)

I know youths that walk with their ting

Ready to let it off broad day (booow)

Soon see me on the tv and say oh my god that's him

Soon hear me on the radio and say oh my god that's him

When he speaks his mind he's bold and confident

But when i speak my mind i'm rude

Day in the life huh

You couldn't walk a day in my shoes

We have to work twice as hard just to get the respect that's due

You get out whatever you put it

Man can't tell me that ain't true

Nuff draw-outs in the world

I stay far away from passa (far away)

It's 2022 and we're still screaming black lives matter

This ain't no daydream it's a nightmare

This ain't no play scheme we have to fight here

I've lost so many friends to the roads

They play with knives here

It's so scary on these roads

Protect your life here

This ain't no daydream it's a nightmare

This ain't no play scheme we have to fight here

We're just trying to make it out when you see my guys here

I pray we'll make it out

It's a matter on time yeah
