Don’t Wake Me Up Lyrics by Cradle Orchestra

Transcended Elements

2010

Verse 1: Speech
Today is a new day
They call me a dreamer, I'm dreaming in a new way
Hey, they be calling like Bobby Booshay
I'm causing more fiascos than Lupe
Most raps got bootays and hoop chains
And I'm from the beginning I'm like Dr. MLK dressed in denim in the back of truck
In the south with a dream of how blacks are giving it up
(I gotta stay up on my game)
And in the meantime I can't believe mine
Keep the thought up off my membrane and be myself
It ain't about mad wealth it's love
(I gotta stay up on my own thang)
They try to tell us all what to do
Enslave the man like a jigaboo, pick a fool, any nigga will do that's what they tell me and you, man
Chorus: Speech
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
I'd rather dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
I'd rather dream
Oh yeah
Verse 2: Speech
I do my best just to kick it (yeah)
So while I'm getting in any stance
Many say it's unfair, I'm rare and I'm wicked
Singing on tracks and spittin like horn players (yeah)
I'm so sincere like Lord prayers I'll advance my soul I screams my woes
Like a man riding a horse aside a control, whoa
The world is out of control so
(I gotta stay up on my game)
Like the ball player the way that I lay up
Staying in my dream zone like a fiend I lean on my prayer
Livin without a care yeah
(I gotta stay up on own thang)
They try to box me in like the viewers of Fox News or Fox & Friends
I refuse to lose, I refuse to give in I dream
Chorus: Speech
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
I'd rather dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
I'd rather dream
Oh yeah
Verse 3: Speech
My life is bizarre, I'ma a dreamer not understood cause most of us never are
I'm on Earth put my mind in the stars was giving the gift of dreams I'm saving them up in jars
Now, I'm a wizard like gods climb mountains for the cause play the Cliff like Cosby
All that I can be like the army alarming the state cause I'm charming and
(I gotta stay up on my game)
Nowadays, it's a beautiful thang
I got a woman with a nice figure and a finger with a ring on it
I'm so on it, dog gone it, I love it
(I gotta stay up on my own thang)
It seems the people don't wanna grow but no not me, got a dream
People think I'm snoring, but I'm actually soaring
Chorus: Speech
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
I'd rather dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
I'd rather dream
Oh yeah
