Nightmare Lyrics by Josh Martinez

Buck Up Princess

0

[Intro]
All of a sudden it turns into the worst nightmare you've ever imagined
The worst nightmare you've ever imagined

[Sample]
It's the monsters that I conjure
It's in my dreams

[Verse 1]
See, I get into free styles like jams at the park
Giving out free samples of arguably art
Imagine how I feel, sick of getting stuck in time
Frozen but I'm supposing my grip slipped and now
It's nine minutes after nine and I'm a nervous wreck in line
To buy a book to look at the pictures because I can't read between the lines
It's the late night insaniac, brainiac dum dum
In a mansion I'm a maniac, and then some
I'm a miscreant, photogenic kleptomaniac
Outdoor enthusiast power punk rasta
Eating tuna pasta on the daily laze about my day is hazy still from the night before
And try to think up ways so that rap pays the bills and still we never turn the heat on
Prefer to put a beat on and warm up
By drinking and rapping, minds thinking rhyming
Couldn't get this good if you couldn't keep the time and
That's why the r in rap stands for rhyming
Little boys and little girls, come on ya'll gather around
I was b-boying before you could do tricks
Before you became hip-hop you watched it on flicks
Rented ideas indented in your brainstem
It's plain dem can't see the clouds for the rain or the crowds
For the same faces that remain after the showcases
Standing out in front in the rain

[Hook]
Woke up, found out, got told, broke down
Hold on, no sound, smoke rings, slow down
Woke up, found out, got told, broke down
Hold on, no sound, smoke rings, slow down
Woke up, found out, got told, broke down
Hold on, no sound, smoke rings, slow down
Woke up, found out, got told, broke down
Hold on, no sound, smoke rings, slow down

[Refrain]
It's a nightmare where I can't wake up
It's right there and I can't pick it up
You might stare, but I'd prefer that you wouldn't
Again I reached my hand out to get it but I couldn't
It's a nightmare where I can't wake up
It's right there and I can't pick it up
You might stare, but I'd prefer that you wouldn't
Again I reached my hand out to get it but I couldn't

[Scratching]
Robbed you of the sleep
Don't ya, won't ya wake up
Wake up
Wake up

Alright, open up now

[Verse 2]
You don't want it? Oh yes I do
And unless i get it soon, I'mma really lose it
I've done other people's dirty dishes to get here
Get my drift are we clear yet hear me
Let no one tell ya wrong long as there's breath in my lungs and blood flowing through my palms
I'mma string along all my things and be gone
I know songs I do get sung along to
I roll with strong crew, and we drink strong brew
You know my name's not Josh
Call me that and I think I like it better when you do
Cause who I really am? Man, I don't have a clue
Let no one else hold down the god and
All the odd jobs I get up to in the middle of my garden
Yes I got a credit card and run my own business
With the most talented valiant chicken eating rapscallions
Tuna rice perogy washed down with a forty diet
If it don't taste good Well, goddammit man fry it
If you really want to know the truth then try it
On before you buy it and be gone
If you want it bring it on, Me? I'm already there
I'm six foot two with light brown hair
I'm where you wanna be when you're not on the internet
I live a life in analog but still get diggy with it
I bit it from him hit it one time for breakdancing
And two times for ballet dancers
I don't even rock hip-hop really, I like reggae so control this
Do it for love, money and anyone up above
If you're out there, let me know. show me love
Cause I'm always walking, talking when I walk block to block, side to side
It's too hot to not find shade and hide
Inside each hovel resides a harlequin novel
With Pablo Picasso's leftover absinthe bottle
There were little green tears on the corner of his lips
Which he licked to get lit on the dew drops and drips
And as he slips into sleep state
The subtle rebuttal of utter sleeplessness sets in

[Hook]
Woke up, found out, got told broke down
Hold on no sound smoke rings. slow down
Woke up, found out. got told broke down
Hold on no sound smoke rings. slow down
Woke up, found out, got told broke down
Hold on no sound smoke rings. slow down
Woke up, found out. got told broke down
Hold on no sound smoke rings. slow down

[Refrain]
It's a nightmare where I can't wake up
It's right there and I can't pick it up
You might stare, but I'd prefer that you wouldn't
Again I reached my hand out to get it but couldn't
