Nightmares by Tijon Lyrics
[Hook: Elana Lane]
Someone please come wake me if I'm screaming
I am dreaming, of the nightmares that we are alive in x2
[Verse 1: Tijon]
BUT WHY ME!?
Wait! First set the background
Small room, only lights in the foreground
That's where this boys found, Early adolescent
In his eye still the innocence of early adolescences
Other side of his pupil, A man who sees him as his pupil
A worn version of himself but remains an equal
A man who sinned but saw rigorous fundamentals
Develop in front of ignorant privilege given Imperials
Now...
His heart beats colder
Now...
His mind moves wiser
A live wire in his younger year
Now he peers a mere few second
To the future of his actions
Just a set a collection of failed efforts
Together forever wealth, When held as life lessons
Progressive thoughts on his mind
If he knew the nightmares he'd live to get here
Would he be willing to pay the fare?
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2: Tijon]
But WHY ME? Cause it's you they put their faith in
But WHY NOW? Cause you see the shape this games in
And don't you ever for a second act like you don't know what you've been handed
They gave you their minds never take advantage
And boy, you take for granted a soul this shit'll vanish
Quicker than a convicts say at the poll
Concentrate on ya foes, when you slip they will
Slide a dagger to ya vertebrae
What you heard em say? They love ya they love ya
If it's drama it's nothing
It's never that, When it's real love it's never spoke scrap
An never toe tap, around whats in ya dome cap
Locked minds, Mean a lock jaw, never prop-ah
Shit if ya gonna move ya people, at least ya said you would
But it what if Martin 'n Malcom was spittin' that coulda shoulda woulda
Would we be 6 feet under ponder I wonder
I'm saying you could be a king, or be the death of him
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3: Tijon]
But why me? Something I'm still asking myself
I know your shoulders just ain't broad enough - yet
But you'll be brought up right - bet
When the times come to fight to get where we at now
Lock on like a pit, Prince, and never back down
Find a win within a loss
Take with stride every great man bared a cross
Cross, bridges as they come
Some will burn, more will rise from the ash
But the truth is you gotta learn
On your own
[Hook/Outro: Elana Lane]
