[Verse 1]

Check out the scheme of a dream: thick fog all around me

Standing in a tunnel of blood, hounds surround me

The shadow of a child my eyes visualize and figure

And as he walked backwards, the shadow grew bigger

Temptation made me curious to follow it

All fear in my heart, at that point, I done swallowed it

State like trance as I reach out my hand

He wore an overcoat robe, face was disclosed

Wow, was this a dream or reality

Or was I ‘bout to become one of Satan’s fucking fatalities?

In silence, I hear the wings of a black crow flapping

The bird lands, then appears a man

Very sleek in physique, stood about six feet

His pupils jet-black, I had to step back

His demeanor wasn’t pure, I knew this for sure

He had a diseased look that the world couldn’t cure

I’m frozen, the fear returned to my body

Heart pumping so fast, thought I was going into cardiac arrest

I wake up in a cold sweat

Wifey sleeping on my left sound-asleep

I peep around the room and then I make a sudden jest

A feather from a black crow was beside my pillow

Was it a sign from God to rebuke for the things

That I did in my lifetime? Now my soul’s on the line

I’m puzzled, spark up a Newport

Then I take a full inhale of the cancer, then I try to find an answer


[Hook]

My wisdom when I’m dropping

Is something like a doctorate

Necessary like oxygen

I’m seeing who’s my opposite

And who’s my A-Alike

So let’s attract and repel

Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world

My wisdom when I’m dropping

Is something like a doctorate

Necessary like oxygen

I’m seeing who’s my opposite

And who’s my A-Alike

So let’s attract and repel

Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world


[Verse 2: O.C.]

Daylight arose, the wind is blowing hard against the window

Pull up my blinds, there sits the crow

I back up fast, heart beating massive

Lost my breath, falling back, collapsing on the mattress

I went into a state of unconsciousness

Open my eyes up, I’m laying on the dark street

Leaves blowing in the breezes, Jesus

Elm Street like a nightmare, I take off like a bird through the air

While I’m winging it, seeing all sorts of chaos

Dead bodies, burned buildings, turned-over cars

My eyes seeing visions of an all-out war

Territory factors, picture escape from New York

Gunfire, bombs blowing, nerve gas a-flowing

Just imagine a whole race of Holocaust showing

Realizing I was having an out-of-body experience

Return to my physical and wake up tense

Laying in the hospital as I figured the riddle:

G-O-D bestowing me paranormally, so

Give insight beyond sight about the world we know

A premonition that I saw through the eyes of a crow

My wisdom when I’m dropping

My wisdom when I’m dropping
