Alex Faith - City of Nightmares II lyrics

[Verse 1: Dre Murray] Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed And the white van take off 'Til we takin' chances, say it ain't advancin' Reach for our and now we on the moon like dancin' And we sold, I done traded life for my soul But until you walk a mile in my soles Your responses shouldn't be cold I've got money here, it don't fold I've shot shooters up in my fold Yeah I'm sticking to the G code See the story here will be told See this life is all that I know Yeah a hundred's all and I go Everyday I'm checking this gold Leaving bodies all on that floor Yo they say I'm Tony with it, they acting phoney with it You want my life, well you feel lucky? Try to come and get it Protecting the devil with every sharp breath That you're pa**ing away I caught me a body, I tip for the ride He's got nothing to say Just throw me in hell I mean throw me in jail I'm stuck in this nightmare, but trapped in a cell [Hook: Ada-L] Don't you wake me up Don't you wake me up please Havin' dreams of that best life and that luxury (dreamin') Living good with closed eyes Not realising the price paid for paradise Wait one minute hold up This dream's getting too hard to bear Suddenly my dreams are turning to a nightmare (dreamin') Puttin' it down for that A-Town Got a blinker back, won't switch lanes with my top down [Verse 2: Alex Faith] On there sittin' on the street corner Chain their fence to the back drive Gold chain showing that he a baller Gym socks stuffed full of crack rocks My whole life I wanna be that Tall white tens, some fresh Nikes My life different gotta be glad Lord came and it was oh so timely Uncle just got out of prison now And you know I copied everything My parents lost and they don't know how All this stuff's getting in my brain Clayton County public schools is realer than the videos On MTV and BET, so you know how the story goes In a city full of nightmares, Riverdale There's some good times but it's a living hell I was picked on for my white skin So I would knuckle up in my life of sin Weren't taking that so we could get to scrapping And I lost a lot but I earned respect Eventually your boy started rapping Outkast stayin' up in my deck I loved it, idolized it, everything about street life In the South, we was taught to get toe'd up under them streetlights My first blunt, I was 14 With them red eyes in that back seat Three years later I woke up Where the Lord came and he saved me, no more dreamin' [Hook: Ada-L] Don't you wake me up Don't you wake me up please Havin' dreams of that fast life and that luxury (dreamin') Living good with closed eyes Not realising the price paid for paradise Wait one minute hold up This dream's getting too hard to bear Suddenly my dreams are turning to a nightmare (dreamin') Puttin' it down for that A-Town Got a blinker back, won't switch lanes with my top down [Outro] Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed And the white van take off Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed And the white van take off Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed And the white van take off Wake up, wake up, mind's saying, cake up. cake up Gotta get a couple dollars before I get followed And the white van take off
