The Gift Lyrics by Cesar Comanche

Squirrel & The Aces (The Japan Tour)

2005

[Verse 1: Cesar Comanche]
Woke up from a dream today
Paid a price to sleep, hope it won’t come true – man, I do pray
Started in a carway
Ill outcome, this one scene in my head where she won’t stay
There ain’t shit I could do, vision true knew
That I shouldn’t hate before bed – yo, I’m through
Music from a didgeridoo
Constant sound in background – all bugged out, singing blues
A mysterious man, real tall, had no face
World in the center of his ill space
Then a book titled “Disgrace” dropped down
And the man vanished without a trace

[Hook: Cesar Comanche]
“This gift that I gave you
If mistreated, will enslave you,”
That’s what it said, first line in black and white
"Dream on to smile"
Last time I ate at night, ran through my mind
“This gift that I gave you
If mistreated, will enslave you,”
Man, that’s deep
Feel weak, no waking up
I’m real stuck – wish I had not fell asleep

[Verse 2: Cesar Comanche]
I ran on and you know it wasn’t long
‘Til I saw the state of the world that I was in
Expressed through sight and sound if you’re itching
To scratch, and even occasional backspin
Relax if you comprehend 'cause, with reading
Material, it’s just speaking to me, a special friend
This text is written in lyrical
Yo, with nothing satirical
Literal, perplex on how it ends
People were creating trends from thin air
Cornucopia styles, natural Ric Flair
Cats wanted something rare
Then the hunger stopped, changed dreams into a nightmare

[Hook: Cesar Comanche]
“This gift that I gave you
If mistreated, will enslave you,”
That’s what it said, first line in black and white
"Dream on to smile"
Last time I ate at night, ran through my mind
“This gift that I gave you
If mistreated, will enslave you,”
Man, that’s deep
Feel weak, no waking up
I’m real stuck – wish I had not fell asleep

[Verse 3: Cesar Comanche]
Why’d the dream merchant give me the raw deals?
‘Cause serene landscape changed to dark hills
Expression is a thing of the past – in the cash, we’re molded
Lay in a crease, we’re folded
[Didn’t like appearance golded?] – y’all showing disrespect
Now you know what to expect
Eyes went from brown to green
Sad with some grit to clean
Proud man made to fiend
Straight up [?], Clone Wars in past
Now we’re in The Empire’s grasp
Got us chained up and caged
And we’re mining Gold and Platinum, no clue that we’re slaves
A few have the heart that’s brave
Made the high and lay low with no place to go
Plans of being a pro
And get your message heard, broadcast of blessed words
Seems absurd ‘cause the children look like 'The Walking Dead'
Now the time came that I dread
The faceless man appeared, said, 
“You’re doomed to die if you don’t understand what you have read”

[Hook: Cesar Comanche]
“This gift that I gave you
If mistreated, will enslave you,”
That’s what it said, first line in black and white
"Dream on to smile"
Last time I ate at night, ran through my mind
“This gift that I gave you
If mistreated, will enslave you,”
Man, that’s deep
Feel weak, no waking up
I’m real stuck – wish I had not fell asleep
