Night Terrors

Defined as an apparent perception
As by sight or hearing
For which there is no real or external cause
With a sometimes sluggish conscious in reality
It can cause such symptoms as distortion
Panic attacks, impulses toward violence
Suicidal acts, psychosis
An increase in blood pressure
Heart rate and blood sugar
(Chronic Auxiliary)
I can also cause irregular bleeding
Trembling and sweatiness
I’m from Flint, not Philly
So you know it’s never sunny
I am not affiliated
I am just a little bummy (ooh yeah)
Trying to stack a little money up
And hit the ground running
Meanwhile, I’m running
From a little dummy trying to mug me
(No, no, no, no)
Through the slums, stole a Huffy
Ducking, pulling down my skully
Hit a puddle, now my
Hundred dollar sneakers fucking muddy (damn)
Pulled up, pulled up at the light
Caught slumping, mean mugging
Butterflies trying to flutter
In my tummy, tell me something
(Shit's about to go down)
Headlights flicker from behind
Knew that I was getting jumped
Seen this shit play out before
And then the game, it got you fucked
(That's why I don’t fuck around)
Never ill prepared
I ain’t got no room for error
I ain’t got time to be scared
Or compared, bitch beware
(No, no, no, no)
It’s declared, I’m aware
I don’t dream, I nightmare
My night terrors feel like tumbling
Down an endless set of stairs
(Oh, nah, nah, nah)
Carousel once I touch that pillow
Infidel, I believe in staying woke
(So, so far gone)
I be staying up all year
Only thing I fear night terrors
(Running all night long)
Never shed my skin, just tears
I never let ‘em in, just near
(I can’t show no love)
I be, I be, I be staying up all year
Only thing I fear in the mirror
(I don’t see myself)
I think I heard something downstairs
I’m running from another night terror
(Running, running around hell)
Okay, I know I live in Michigan
With lions, tigers, pistons
But if you ain’t got no mittens
Then this cold world’s gonna kick you
(Oh well)
While you down and out and wishing
You replaced that old ignition
Constant bitching
But your welfare check in boxes in the kitchen
(How swell)
Ya, your income fixed
But your train of thought broke
You’ve been riding one rail
Since like The Eminem Show
(Don't dwell)
Lock myself inside my bathroom
With some bleach and ‘codone
Living like a Rolling Stone
But I’m chilling, home alone
(No guidance)
I don’t go out just to go
I don’t even own cologne
(No, I don’t)
I don’t care about my aroma
Get up out my ozone
(Fuck my phone)
IPhone been in airplane mode
Squad so small like garden gnomes
(Click low, low)
Root of evil is a hoe
Lose my number or get forwarded
(Been G though)
Doing what I dare, yeah
But it’s been like that
(Just breathe though)
All up in my own air
‘Cause you win like that
(Don't fear you)
I don’t got a care to spare
I ain’t built like that
(No fear, no)
I don’t pay no mind to fear
You get killed like that
I, I be hear forth and thereon
In my prime like Amazon
Hardly kept it man to man
Because I’m always in my zone
All these bitches steady switching
On and off and off and on
Just like the lights up in my crib
‘Cause I don’t pay no mind to bills
Off no sleep for like a week straight
Tweaking, thinking how to cheapskate
Off of thin ice I’ve been fishing
In my shanty with a lantern
Sick of clubbing like a caddy
Pushing MDMA baggies
Trying to cook me up a Grammy
Before I’m seeing Gordon Ramsay
Like, whew
I must’ve been in hell too long
Three years ago today
I made this same damn song
In the same black hoodie
That I still gots on
Ain’t shit changed
All in all the same damn man
But I’m wiser
Juvie, jail then prison was my plan
I’m a surviver
If I gotta ride out for my side
You know I got to
Sick with this shit since infancy
I need me some Amoxi'
‘Cillin and an Ambien cuz I be, I be
(So, so far gone)
I be staying up all year
Only thing I fear night terrors
(Running all night long)
Never shed my skin, just tears
I never let ‘em in, just near
(I can’t show no love)
I be, I be, I be staying up all year
Only thing I fear in the mirror
(I don’t see myself)
I think I heard something downstairs
I’m running from another night terror
(Running, running around hell)
I be staying up all year
(Stand by, clear)
Only thing I fear night terrors
Running all night long
(Stand by, clear)
Never shed my skin, just tears
I never let ‘em in, just near
(So, so far gone)
Serious abnormalities
And now form many serious psychological
And emotional disturbances
Resulting from even a single view
(Heart beating)
