Cesar Comanche - The Gift lyrics

[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 sh** 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 k**s 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
