Afraid to Dream

This is a rap song I wrote for a Marine I was very close to and who was a raging alcoholic. He had so much potential and no way of dealing with all the pain.

You say hold on hold up it ain't meant to be you and me
So take a step on back from my heart
Cuz you ain't got the art it takes
But I say it's all just a fake

You're frontin' you're wantin' to jump into what I'm offerin'
Afraid to close your eyes and dream
You make it all just seem about the screams
As you lay me down

But don't be a clown with your fake ass smile
Goin' on the town like you can't dial
My digits, til you're three sheets to the wind
Spinnin' out of control and needing me to steer you in

I've got nothin' but luv for you
And here's why, you're superfly, supercool
You're golden you're holdin' your own
And i want you to know
The soul you try to hide
Burry down deep inside
That bottle
Is crystal clear to me
Past those baby blues all I see
Is the way you make me feel
When you chill and start keepin' it real

So Natin' don't be hatin' cuz I'm into you
We ain't through
I won't let you throw away
Another minute of another day
There's so much more to you
You've got to get clear and let it shine through

So take these words on back to your heart
You're strong enough you can make a fresh start
So I say hold on hold up
This is how I feel
We don't have to part we can just deal Copywrite Pending
