Tokyo Nights & Dreams

Sleeping awake, sleeping awake
It’s a, it’s a, it’s a

[Verse 1]
Everlasting journey, flowers laugh
Narrow path met a curve, M. Night Shyamalan
Hourglass got me ready for the [?]
Nights like this, I’m just happy to exist
I coulda been dismissed, a myth possibility
Now this they checking for disability
[?], you killing me
[?] and Billy Dee in his prime
Optimistic for the world, I’ma sin in time
Open your mind, there’s a limit I’m tryna expand
Why you throwing stones and hide your hand?
I’m headed to Japan
Yo, spread knowledge, that’s what we been on
Infinity and then on, dreams what I depend on
When everything fails, love told me to excel for years
But we ain’t snitches so we never could tell
That’s what the hood teach us, we need good teachers
And less rappers, more fans on the wood bleachers but
You find who you are when the lights go
Off, hope your songs will suffice though
Land of the Free, what’s the price though?
No wonder why half of us psycho
Same thing every day, it’s a cycle
Time for the rebirth, this a revival uh
Musically the keys to survival
To survival

[Chorus]
Tokyo nights, Tokyo dreams
I walk with a purpose to represent me
Yo, I’ma fly away from
But where was your wings?
And love where the city lies, right?
Better follow those beams
Tokyo nights, Tokyo dreams
Tokyo nights, nights, nights
Tokyo dreams

[Verse 2]
Uh
Lightbulbs in my mind go on and off
Ideas through the years, I’m zoning out
On reflections of what I coulda been
And what will it be
Put my foot up in the door to explore the world abroad
In a place I belong, my country flawed
I’m in awe of neon signs and arcades
Controlling destiny, pray we never part ways, no
Vanilla skies with cherry pies, delightful things to intervene
Less insightful dreams
I write to bring a scene of intangible wings
We say what we mean, don’t mean what we say
Tonight’s the night to soar above that
Mother nature say she love that
Reach for a dap, got a hug back
I put a deuce in the air for the lost souls
I’ll see you at the crossroads
So title this “Streetlights Part 2”
You can do anything you put your heart to
Gotta charge through
I found her, opportunity took it
Biggest shows I booked it
Straightest smiles usually most crooked
Not the naive kid that I was in the past
Most don’t want you to win, hiding scowls with laughter
I’m after something bigger only I can describe as a lie
Look, we dying physically and mentally
Sheesh, well here’s a [?] yeah
Gotta get up, get out and go get it y’all, most lacking drive
Uh, all my albums are manuals, uh
Just the keys to survival

[Chorus]
Tokyo nights, Tokyo dreams
Tokyo nights, Tokyo dreams
Tokyo nights, nights, nights
Tokyo dreams
Tokyo nights, Tokyo dreams
