Kashmere vividly recounts his nightmares to an eager therapist, telling stories of a dark, godless world filled with animalistic, “devilish” children, angels mugging people in the streets, and a giant catfish killing his mother.
[Intro]
Kashmere: Let’s see what the deal is up in here. Yo, yo, what’s up?
Receptionist: Good afternoon, can I help you?
Kashmere: Yeah, yeah, I’ve got a 2:30 appointment, yeah
Receptionist: Let me just check the books. Mr Kashmere?
Kashmere: Yes, that is me
Receptionist: Doctor Herbertson has been expecting you, please go in
Kashmere: Ah, cool cool
Doctor Herbertson: Ah yes, take a seat, be comfortable. I understand you’ve been having some interesting dreams, you’d like to understand what’s happening. What we’re gonna do today is put you under a bit of light hypnosis. So after the count of three, you will be asleep: one, two, three
[Verse 1]
Yo, twisted in the head
In my nightmares I feel its presence
Poisoning the Earth and draining its essence
It all feels surreal, blood streaming from the eyes
Everybody’s dropping like flies but no spirits fries
It’s total despair, go find your loves ones
Dark fear, total eclipsed the son and its cousins
In the realm of the invisible rival
God is not here, he told you that in the Bible
A thousand years of rain over the planet
You all look surprised but to me it’s all standard
The bringer of doom and gloom
It’s not me but the blindness now in full bloom
The hate that breeds and consumes
It’s now poisoning the air, heating up brown on a spoon
(Tell me more!)
Why still the same drill
The young are bloodthirsty, the elders look ill
The discolouration, mutation of skin
The chest getting tighter, asphyxiation by sin
Look around see the death gathering
But I’m blocking that shit, I’ve got the Chaos medallion
[Doctor]
It’s obvious to me that you’ve got a fixation with all things demonic, satanic, sickly and, ugh, what I’d like you to do right now is slowly come out of your coma and tell me more abut this dream. On the count of three: one, two, three!
[Verse 2]
Yo, blood and children, guts and vomit
Devilish whippersnappers hitting grannies with the dropkicks
I saw a bunch of school kids. Elementary? Yes
Staring at me with their elephant heads
I looked left and saw a crackhead pushing a pram
“ And look here’s my little one” I’m double-taking like damn!
It was a baby croc eating worms
Coughing up phlegm and spitting mad germs
I cover my face and got to stepping
Till I was stopped by an angel with an automatic weapon
He said, “freeze, motherfucker, what’s happening?
“I want your cash, your rhymes and silver medallion!”
I laughed, like yeah right, whatever man
Come and take it, this shit’s sharp enough to sever hands
And it’s cursed like the treasures of the Lost Ark
I thought, share a friend in the knowledge [?] and you’re in the dark
Then his face turned aggro
Tried to step to me and got hit up with an ASBO
As the darkness continued stalking in the distance I hear the voice of my mother calling
Shit
Ah, ah man
Yo, heading back to my yard with mad urgency
Tried to open the door, the key started burning me
And then it flung itself open and before me was the scene of madness
My mother’s head being eaten by a giant catfish accompanied by radix
And Jesus Christ with a star chart and global atlas
And that’s all I can remember. Serious. You know what, doc? Thanks for your time but, you know what, I’m just getting the fuck outta here. Things going in inside the brain, unexplained
Damn
