Ghetto Dreaming'

With days on end I wonder why the time we spend has been so blissful?  

Gathering dust on the mantle ma heart has been, never thinking it would be safe again!  

But now I see and just ignore all the rumors and stories about ma life.

I have been there on many occasions to welcome the warmth.



Only to find the most blistering of times awaiting me.

I sit here now just thinking if what I feel and see is for real or just a dream

Not knowing if I will awaken from a horrible sleep.  

For now I have seen the light and have been shot down again.  



So I take it to the hole and explain to myself,

It’s all about how ya do things and make them come true.  

I wont gather any more dreams and wait for days to end,

Ill leave ma chambers and wander around looking for the best.  



The same one I saw when I slept, the one who awakened me with one sweet kiss.  

Taking me into her arms and feeling her strong desire

Starting the wind a-blazing and heating up the fire.  

The more I search and the more I want the further she gets



I wander where the streets that have no lights.

Where the shots are heard all through the night and into the ends of time.  

I forget who I am and where I’m from, not seeing the darkness or the flash from the gun.  

I been shot in ma heart my soul has just been taken;

You have control and there’s no mistaken.  



You found me I never saw you, you were there and I never knew you.

I am awake and I see your face, it’s not a dream of something so beautiful.

It’s you, my heart, my soul, and my life.  

Every breath I now take belongs to you; I wander the streets no more and fear nothing.  

For the dreaming is over and my life is just beginning.
