Sidewalk Dreams

[Verse 1: Ben Beal]
Ever since I heard Dilla for the first time
I knew that shit was okay
Cause legends still exist, they're dying everyday
Now and then you need to overdose to conversate with holy ghosts
And get a little radio interview on a shitty show
Overtime, violent like a Joker crime
I put it all up on an Ableton file
Let the sound waves take me like the undertow
Yeah, you'll have to find me 'causе I dream of touching boats
Getting zooted off thе dream, I've been carving the moon
Room smells like swiss cheese, always lose the remote
Wonder if these people will miss me when I go
If they don't, I'll be refilling my cereal bowl
I'm staying home
I woke up last night when the ash was flaring up
Hit the store for some wraps, they don't know me, that's average
The New York vibe, the New York vibe
I'm the kid your friends are always putting on when you drive

[Hook: Ben Beal]
Yesterday I fell asleep outside
My friends couldn't wake me up
So I missed out on the party
Now I'm covered in this dust
Just forget these things
Just forget these things
Sweet sidewalk dreams
Sweet sidewalk dreams

[Verse 2: atlas]
The first time I ever heard a Nujabes track
I knew that I could do the best raps
So move your half back to the front, then
Back to front
'Cause I got tracks on tracks, I don't have to stunt
And that's a fact, so if you actually hating on me
Then talk your shit like Sway while I sway in the breeze
I'm on the edge of the sidewalk, investing in my crops
Just falling these high tops, just playing the leaps
Okay, could see the press is singing like a choir when I snap
Rapping with the people who inspired me to rap
I remember last year when I first heard Polaroid
Like "God damn Ben, how you writing shit like that?!"
But I learned that time and practice turn a bum to a perfectionist
And suddenly my lyrics were decoding into messages
Faltering with ethics, sitting, spitting for the heck of it
Forget man, 'cause walking on this sidewalks effortless

[Hook: Ben Beal]
Yesterday I fell asleep outside
My friends couldn't wake me up
So I missed out on the party
Now I'm covered in this dust
Just forget these things
Just forget these things
Sweet sidewalk dreams
Sweet sidewalk dreams
