While You're Sleeping

Now I lay me down to sleep  I pray my dreams don't slowly creep  Caught up in a web with no escape  Something the mind can't break unless you wide awake  Have you ever had a nightmare and been scared  Then woke up in the morning and forgot it was there?  Then the shit really happens like deja-vu  But you sit back and act like you never knew  The same situation happened in my life  And I feel that I should tell it cause the timing is right  Now the only reason that I'm speakin is cause I'm teachin  Thinkin if I let it out my head'll stop tweakin  Mixed emotions caused from stress  That reunite when you lay your head down to rest  It's like creatures of the night leavin nothing but bad news  And things about the future that might make you confused    I remember way back in the day  At the age of 13 before moms passed away  The dreams that I had people said weren't right  Like the evilness of afterlife lurkin in the night  Candlelight blew out, bed stops shakin  Down on my knees prayin askin to be taken  To another life where it's safer than this  Not a dream, but reality I hope for this wish  But it never came true so I'm stuck in this place  Just a native actin crazy that keeps changin his face  Searchin for the final answer so I can spread the word  Now that you really see me I'm just askin to be heard  We all in this together, so they call us night crawlers  Think the world's feelin weary because we gettin smarter  Silohettes in the hallway, dead men holla  Can't sleep at night cause the spirits won't allow you    (You know bein dead  I remember thinkin death would be horrible and terrifying  Shit I mean that's what everybody thinks  But now having died and shit  I can now see everything  Like every question the living have I now know the answers to  It's like I'm awake now and living was just a dream)    Call me the dream catcher, mother earth smoker  Peyote pack piece pipes, hallucinatin toker  Blessed with the wisdom that you see in my eyes  Don't be surprised if you ever think you caught up inside  Like the awakening of life or the passion of death  That keeps you jumpin up in shivers from ice cold breath  Now you swear you're being followed every time that you rest  Or you feel sharp pains drillin deep in your chest  I don't expect anyone to believe if they don't want to  But don't expect yourself to rest in peace when spirits haunt you  Make your choice people dream it or not  It's time to look into the situation we got  Pinpoint the whole problem get rid of all the anger  Release all the stress before the world becomes a stranger  Medicine man above your headboard with a dream catcher  In the blood of the boogie man the warrior'll protect you
