tunnel rats - tripped over a dream lyrics

[verse 1: jurny big]
i tripped over a dream while walkin’ my life trail
now skippin’ of things (things) that tell me i might fail (fail), well
direction been clear since i steered towards the margin, though
imagination been made to beg pardon
so harden hearts with outcome you start to become outcast
and casted as outlandish, branded as actin’ mannish
but reality of it is i’m loving this like my kids
and tried to quit but it keep on takin’ me back in
and tryin’ spit tight but first get right and so i did
when the whole time was climbin’ poles
and popping lids on manholes
still my aim been towards the lord since cost of sneakers [?]
when you didn’t have to buy some in the hundies to impress friends
or gain some wins cause back then we did it with our pens
and ends was never fuel for choosing the type of tool we use
and only how and when we stopped the nation’s jams from givin’ in
to enemy but rather getting ready for christ to come again

[hook: raphi]
i can’t quite pinpoint the night i first tripped
i slipped somewhere between the first show and the last verse
i rip so sick, when was my vision first blurred?
what was the first word you spoke that wasn’t heard?

i can’t quite pinpoint the night i first tripped
i slipped somewhere between the first show and the last verse
i rip so sick, when was my vision first blurred?
what was the first word you spoke that wasn’t heard?

[verse 2: elsie]
yah, world keeps spinning, time moving too fast
and i lay in bed tryin’ to make my dreams last
but eyes won’t close, the sun tells me to rise
so i turn on the box and beats got me hypnotized
and i’ll spit out rhymes that i spit a million times
’til my cd starts skippin’ and i break down cryin’
’cause i’m sick and tired of trying to keep this music from fadin’
even heartbeat’s slower, grown accustomed to the waitin’
waiting for the days when my soul can sing free
through radio waves and international tv
’cause i can see it all from streets corners to stars
but for now stuck in my stereo behind sixteen bars
prayin’ to god these days are closer than they seem
’cause this road is long and i keep running out of steam
causing my vision to get blurred but then i trip over my dream

[verse 3: zane one]
i don’t have to go to sleep to dream
through my seeds i holding visions
i can never beg cause i’m a daytripper
unconscious in reality
follow the white rabbit to this here fantasy
woke up to a new view, strange images and emotions
dreamy music in this world of illusions
see hollywood’s concocted devised and dreamt up, it’s
only a nightmare and your demise will be abrupt
it’s chunks of dysfunctional half-truths
i’m on the up-and-up and with wisdom you ain’t never gon’ lose
’cause life on earth should amuse you
i’d rather pursue heaven and give reverence to the word that’s foolproof
got tickets to the kingdom, only jehovah holds the keys
some visionaries claim they see the will of god
but they just stumbled on a thought and tripped over they imagination
if only through a dream, yo is this the real thing?

[verse 4: dax]
i tripped over a dream and it seemed as though
way it finally found myself but had to lose control
would i choose to go or stay on cruise control
or was i used to payin’ dues cause that’s all that i know?
it took all that i had to hold on
seemed like i spent my whole life doin’ what i was told
or when the homies started trippin’, we carried the load
and to this day, still don’t know how many records i sold
all the while gettin’ old, had to break the mold
went from emcee to father, put the mic on hold
when it seemed like it slowed, i was fillin’ with doubt
but quick to realize me and my guys was burnt out
now i fit the mold, sick of fightin’ my peers
where i used to be bold, now is soaked in tears
turned my back on what i know, cursed the god that i serve
seemed like i gave all i had for nothin’ in return
then a hand came from heaven and knocked me off my rise
spoke the word a second chance if i would only abide
i couldn’t see it but i tried, was broken down so i cried
he exposed me to me and there’s wasn’t nowhere to hide
he said “i blinded you for a reason, it’s not your vision it’s mine”
it’ll happen in my season, i hold the sands of time
i wrote your first rhyme, gave you the gift to sing
i spoke the words when you preached and i brought the anointing
i command you to stand, my strength is in you
you will remember why you started and continue
