Cypher - Nightmare

[Hook]

But in dark times when we close our eyes

It’s a nightmare, it’s a nightmare

When the sun don’t shine we lose our minds

It’s a nightmare, it’s a nightmare

 

[Verse 1]

Passed in my mid eighties, lying in my deathbed

Crashed in my mid twenties, since then, I been breath less

Had a panic attack cause I went #astray down to hell

Had a tragic impact on life, and got me out to dwell

About my past, latch it to my back, around my health

Was never around my craft, I doubted my skill

Got me down a well, weeping cause I found my hell

Wanted the rap crown but never gathered my schemes

And shattered my dreams

Now, I'm writing this letter from Nihal to EnkayNick

I wanna say shoot for the stars and stay sick

Just 'cause you fell off, look at what you did

This life wasn't worth living and makes me wanna cut your head

Now, in the hospital, I'm regretting all my actions

Back then, I was a kid regretting all my passion

My soul died back then and my body will soon

My whole life was slashed out like a typhoon

 

[Hook]

 

[Verse 2]

Here I am, writing to my reckless past that I created

Wasted my precious knack for drugs that got me wasted

I hit writer's block? Nah, I blocked myself from writing

#Ran outta ideas 'cause I was #lazy and #whining

Drinkin' #Hennessy when I see my knees are weak with this disease

That prevented me from getting back on my feet but that's disbelief

I believe it now, I could've been a rapper but I disbelieved

Look at me now! This life could've been better with rap

But I never found ot that I was born in rap

I had 'em maps in my head and the art in my heart

I was harsh and walking on #marsh, #shall I end this career?

Had that question on my mind but now, I cant forgive

myself, I never made my opportunities to prove myself

My body's boiling with fumes in me, I can't approve myself

I betchu, man, God's helped me too

But, I never allowed him to get me through
