Bad dreams Lyrics by Tricky

Bad dreams Lyrics

    This is a matter of utmost urgency
    You might even call it a police emergency
    Suckers got ill when they finally heard the G
    Wasn't sellin' out, they tried to murder me
    Reached for my jammy like a troop's supposed to do
    Never let a sucker get too close to you
    Heard 'em comin', ducked behind the wall
    Then saw the whites of his eyes, the first one had to fall
    Another bug creeped up the fire escape
    Trying to sneak, I guess he snuck too late
    Lookin' like a scene from Real Life Vice
    The way his head fell apart like a block of solid ice
    Uzi does it, come to think of it
    Dude had a nine, but his wasn't as fast as mine
    I heard the phone ring, should I answer?
    This is gettin' serious as terminal cancer
    And that is the final stage, my primal rage
    Began to rise and I started to fantasize
    How many more might try to rush the door
    And blast their way in, hell, I ain't stayin'
    I opened the back door and felt the summer night heat
    Saw a bunch of bugs wearin' white sheets
    What else could it mean? I know it ain't Halloween
    The cross in the background burnin' made a ill scene
    First I was panicky, then I was angry
    One creep even had a rope ready to hang me
    Now who am I supposed to be? Eddie Spaghetti?
    You come and vic Rob G any time you're ready?
    Fuck that, they had me trapped so I rushed back
    They tried to bust me but they don't have enough caps
    I dipped, dived, slipped, slid, they missed me
    I had to move quick or they was bound to get me
    One bullet grazed me, that didn't phase me
    What could I say? I was havin' a fucked up day
    Stood up and took aim, my finger on the trigger
    I shouted 'Now let me hear you say nigger!'
    Well anyway, nobody spoke or went for broke
    The place was all clouded up from gunsmoke
    And everything got quiet, I don't buy it
    Just a second ago we had a riot
    They must be plannin' attack or settin' a trap
    Whatever the case you won't get this black
    Now I'm on the edge and there's no denyin' it
    Whatever the hell might work I'm tryin' it
    Thought I was a target that they could get right quick
    But I ain't goin' out like no statistic
    Another number, made me wonder
    How many other brothers they've put under
    I sat in the dark real still for a long time
    Didn't make a sound cos I've got a strong mind
    Made my way to the street, it was daybreak
    Must've fallen asleep, but for Pete's sake
    I didn't see the enemy trying to put an end to me
    The night before, my finger trigger was sore
    I went in the house to get a fresh clip
    And then I woke up an' shit
    It's just a bad dream
