[Verse 1]
Wake up from dead dreams
Eyes low, head clean
Room full of weed smoke
Hush when I step in
Ogun whispers close
Says it’s just gun smoke
All this fake love
Turned my heart cut throat
I came from the brush
Where the snakes don't play nice
Gorillas on the hill
Lions at your daylight
Eat or be ate
That’s the law I know
One hand on the prayer
One hand on the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t smile in my face
Then switch on me
I read that kind
Like a rip in a tree
I been too deep
To be soft now
If you want the real
Better come down
[Chorus]
Dead dreams, wake up
Dead dreams, wake up
Cut throat, cut throat
I don’t trust fake love
Dead dreams, wake up
Dead dreams, wake up
Eat or be ate
That’s what I came up from
[Verse 2]
Whole room smelling like haze
But my mind stay sharp
Seen a friend turn stranger
Seen a saint turn shark
I don’t do the talk
If it ain't for the truth
Keep my name out your mouth
Like a knife with a bruise
Ogun on my back
When I’m walking through it
Gun smoke in the air
But I still move through it
Jungle in my blood
I don’t run from it
If the circle go cold
I put fire in it
[Bridge]
Yeah, I learned the hard way
Trust get you hurt fast
Love with a grin on
That shit don’t last
[Chorus]
Dead dreams, wake up
Dead dreams, wake up
Cut throat, cut throat
I don’t trust fake love
Dead dreams, wake up
Dead dreams, wake up
Eat or be ate
That’s what I came up from
