Cage - Among The Sleep Lyrics






I'm seconds from meeting with the minds berg had to offer
And feed my thoughts to Christ to the altar
I wake up on a red floor
Axing a dead whore
My dick chewed up, why I let this bitch give me head for?
Pigs tryin' ta kick down the door, I'm out for me
Opened the sliding glass door and hopped off the balcony
Fell 30 flights to [?] on 10th Av.
Landed on a FedEx-disguised meth lab
And after it blew up
I woke up and threw up
Stuck my hand in my pants, my shit ain't chewed up
Wiped the puke from my face
Then leaved this place
With a 4-5 in the waist
At an elitist pace
No breeding space
I step out and show face
Within 3 minutes I'm approached for H
Then a shotgun to neck, now loose the weapon
And my scull fragments painted the sky for seconds

[Chorus]
Back to my brain like my brain is a home
While I roll with the fame I still aim at the throne
All my peers all sleep and I'm the only one not weak
Or am I unconscious dreaming I'm making a speech
Is this reality or my memory getting milage
Am I staring at the sun or blood vessels in my eyelids
Do I make music or is music making me
Is this really all death or just my awakening

I pick my head up, with a face full of drool
Look around the classroom, now I'm some geek in high school
Get fucked with in the hallway and can't do shit
But write names on bullets and fill a few clips
No need for rags and vodka, got a locker
With enough fire-power to war with helicopters
First click to pass, I'm clicking to release
Each adolescent fist holding 4 police killers
And I ain't paying for the clips I'm spendin'
When I shoot up the crowd like a [?] convention
Feds storm the building for the sick boy with balls
Made of steel, put shit through toilet stalls
See my teachers dead through holes in the door
And alerted the cops outside, holdin' the floor
I exit the bathroom, enter a vet parade
Getting shot the fuck up but smoke some pigs on the way

[Chorus]

I open up my eyes to get cracked in the face
Six times, while I'm asked for combos to a safe
My wife on the couch, dying, raped, in shock
While the gunmen argue on where to take the Yacht
Assuming I'm rich
Playboy bitch
My own boat
And if I don't start speaking I'ma loose my throat
They start chumming the water with my dead hoe and laugh
Force me to see great whites snapped on the lower half
Locked off my arm, do it in, no guns to shoot
Think of 3 past deaths and find an escape route
All I have to do is wake up, lift the mast
And get shot off the boat and my back to get whipped in half
I wake up screamin'
With a shotgun in church, feenin'
To kill myself, but I don't know if I'm still dreamin'
50-50 chance I'ma die and go straight up
Or straight to hell, either fuckin' way I'ma wake up!

  33. G.... ....

    Movies for the blind is the cleverest shit for the name of an album because all these tracks you can imagine vividly especially when your fucked up.
    Always will bump this shit.

  34. M.... I....

    Sickkkk!

  35. B.... P....

    Just discovered Cage and I'm thoroughly impressed

    B.... P....

    Beat Pharmacist
    Have you come across copywrite or yak ballz?? If not, you should check'em out

    B.... P....

    Beat Pharmacist Movies for the Blind, Hell's Winter, Leak Bros - Waterworld and Nighthawks (Cage & Camu) are the best albums from him imo. The Weathermen stuff is amazing too. "Happy" listening!

  36. J.... ....

    2:04 that "MOTHERFUCKERS" cut is audio from one of the two columbine killers. Sick as Fuck way to end that verse

    J.... ....

    chound that's awesome. Cage is one of the darkest grimiest out there.

  37. R.... ....

    Been putting this on repeat. This track is too good.

  38. C.... O....

    this is the greatest ? right right.

    C.... O....

    cage produced by rjd2 what's not to like yo

  42. S.... G....

    Memories don't even begin to describe this song.

  43. s.... ....

    I remember listening to this song on acid when it came out. I was in another fucking dimension just imagining the words. Hah good ol days

  44. b.... ....

    "No need for rags 'n vodka, got a locker with enough fire power to war wit' helicopters!"
    Dope

  45. R.... 6....

    Nerds

  48. M.... F....

    i just did h to this. i'm at a wedding reception with a chainsaw you squares

  49. B.... ....

    best track off movies, used to think agent orange, but this is a better produced track. Super Crazy Anthem...bitch!

  50. J.... W....

    Nice lyrics

  51. S.... A....

    who think dj mighty mi beats wasn't all that great on this album. they kind of sufficate the albums potential. tho cage was a ill emcee.

  52. C.... L....

    No other rapper can write art like this.

    C.... L....

    leak bros check them out

    C.... L....

    @Fez Waller Already did leakleakleakleakleak

    C.... L....

    illogic- Celestial Clockwork...check that one out.

    C.... L....

    Eh, many rappers can have ill shit that will project dope imagery. I just think cages style fits the beat and the story which makes him like no other MC.

  53. J.... S....

    my personal favorite song on this album

  54. D.... D....

    anyone clocked the sample??

  55. F.... M....

    what's the sample of this beat?

    F.... M....

    http://www.whosampled.com/sample/104500/Cage-Amongst-the-Sleep-Harry-Lubin-The-Outer-Limits-Closing-Titles/

    F.... M....

    @Nathan Allen thanks dude

    F.... M....

    I found this sample for whosampled, peace haha x

  56. O.... ....

    one of the illest tracks of all time. straight up

  57. C.... M....

    Too bad his career had to coincide and compete with eminem. They both Dope!

    C.... M....

    Coffey May for real. Its obvious em took influence from cage, but em did it in his own way. Way more complex multis in his raps, a little fucked in then cage, etc. But yeah they're both dope as fuck.

    C.... M....

    Antonio Tognotti this reminds me of slim shady lp.

    C.... M....

    Movies for the blind shits on Slim Shady LP. Still good album but can't compete with the worm king.

  58. N.... ....

    DUDE CAGE IS SOOOO DOPEEEEEE, FUUUUUUCK

  59. F.... t....

    "then my skull fragments painted the sky for seconds"....Cage always has the ill imagery.

  60. E.... B....

    And I ain't paying for the clips in spending when I shoot up the crowd like a heroin convention

  61. M.... S....

    Cage got that Fuègo

  62. h.... T....

    one of best cage songs ever. i can visualize every verse.

    h.... T....

    schalltoeter word

    h.... T....

    righhttt?..? Love this track

    h.... T....

    Can you suggest any other standout tracks man? Mad I only just found CAGE

    h.... T....

    @Dale Lindsey on this album, pretty much all of it. Won't lie, I enjoyed all albums and track. This and kill the architect albums are my top. In stoney lodge, agent orange, down the left hand path, and too much were my favs. Oh and suicidal failure.

    h.... T....

    @krepler appreciate the homework! 👌🏼
    I got really into the waterworld (Leak Bro's) so i'll check out more

    His image/attitude change is what drawed me in! Went from the gold grills, large white tee wearing, sherm smoking crazy mf
    Then round 2007-08 looks like a white boy emo haha

  63. A.... A....

    this album is 8.99 on Amazon. fuck it, a true masterpiece

    A.... A....

    *8.99 for mp3 11.99 for physical . buying the physical

    A.... A....

    +Apex Animal good choice dog

    A.... A....

    +Apex Animal I'm considering picking up a vinyl for this, a bit of shipping for Australia, but fuck me I'm tempted.

  64. h.... ....

    This is amazing. It's sad how shit like this isn't promoted by the mainstream. Rappers like this deserve wider recognition than they get.

    h.... ....

    So what lol like this song is something worthy its good art but there is not any vital message, masses absorb anything if it was mainstream ppl would think shooting heroin is cool so better Stay with smoking weed and fucking bitches and leave music like this to more independent minds that realize that this is just a song

    h.... ....

    To be promoted by the mainstream it must be the mainstream. I'm so glad it is not.

    h.... ....

    @PR PROPAGANDA word

    h.... ....

    He's shit now

    h.... ....

    I love this song, but I can see why the mainstream won't promote this. He has an entire verse about shooting up a school lol

  65. J.... C....

    album artwork with the sunglasses is from the movie They Live

    J.... C....

    If the great gun wielding, ether breathing Dr. Hunter S Thompson checked out my music it'd mean a lot to me <3

  66. M.... C....

    I'm a herion convention?

    M.... C....

    +Matthew Cannon shoot up the crowd like a heroin convention

  67. K.... K....

    oh no this dude is really dope ok

    K.... K....

    beyond dope. He deserves EMinems SLim shady persona. an much more respect

    K.... K....

    Do you have a twin sister? Ahaha.😉

  68. d.... c....

    no need for rags and vodka
    got a locker with enough fire power to war with helicopters

    d.... c....

    hell yeah

    d.... c....

    To war with hella coppers

  69. m.... d....

    i thought the lyrics were "force me to see great whites snack on her lower half"

    m.... d....

    snap but ya

  70. Y.... P....

    I swear if Eminem don't sound like dude,em flip his words just like this

    Y.... P....

    I can see your a big cage fan like myself

    Y.... P....

    Well Eminem did reference Cage on the SliM Shady Lp.. "I bought Cage's tape opened it and dubbed over it"

    Y.... P....

    +DannyDankTv yea cause Eminem is crap for stealing that kind of image

    Y.... P....

    this album was released in august 2002. at that point eminem had already released 'the slim shady lp', 'the marshall mathers lp', 'the eminem show' and '8 mile' was only a couple months away from hitting theaters. to say eminem stole any of cage's style from this album or cage in general is to completely dismiss eminem's hard earned success and achievements. their likeness is nothing more than coincidence. they both just happen to be white kids who grew up in shitty areas with shitty parents that forced them through shitty childhoods, and they both found an outlet through rap, making it no surprise that they have similar views and outlooks on life while being extremely close in age and growing up in the same era of music. eminem was just simply better, he knows lyricism down to the science and he just happened to connect with the one producer that could turn him into a superstar (dr. dre). everything is all about timing, determination, and fate, and cage fell through the cracks. theres another rapper where I'm from named tech n9ne who was/is strange and pushed to the back of the line much like cage was. sadly, this is the shit I yearn for and miss so much, while present day eminem and the rest of 2017 mainstream rap makes me bitter and hateful... smh.

    Y.... P....

    crunk bunk but Cage has made music since '91-'92. Some of the shit on this album was recorded in the 90s. Em style did change between Infinite and the first EP

  71. R.... ....

    Seriously my favorite Song about Dreams/Sleep etc.. not everyone does them but the ones that have haven't topped this one. Perfect album title I can picture all this shit happening in sequence. A Music video of this track would be dope. Perfect chorus too

    R.... ....

    +Respect2theFallen listen to Elzhi's Talking in My Sleep it's like the sober less fucked up version of this

    R.... ....

    Bro U listen to Elzhi that's dope as fuck i know about that song already btw I just like this one better cuz i feel like Cage describes stuff on another level plus it's more the psycho/horror route which I've grown to love. El is lagging it he was supposed to release his album months or a yr ago I forget which but it's been a long ass time. 

    R.... ....

    Respect2theFallen sound cloud.. WIISE1- rules to the game

  72. B.... ....

    i like the way you did the lyrics

  73. T.... A....

    One of the most underrated hip hop tracks of all time

    T.... A....

    +Timmy Andre eyedea, sadistik and cage are soooo underrated artists

    T.... A....

    love the way this is offkey

    T.... A....

    *#WordIsBond*

    T.... A....

    Nah its rated, it's just not mainstream rated, as mainstream is the dead dumb stream of sheople.. The underground does not care

  74. b.... m....

    How would you guys compare this to the SDLP?

    b.... m....

    big meme its better than the sslp both are dope tho.

  75. t.... ....

    I love how Cage raps over these old ass horror movie/sci fi soundtracks with a kinda unique style.. FYI this sample is from the closing titles of The Outer Limits.. 

    t.... ....

    movies for the blind..

    t.... ....

    @Abiasaf López one of his best. he became too normal after the leak bros LP :(

    t.... ....

    @Abiasaf López I just now got the title, I'm slow as fuck. I guess because I never thought about the title. 

    t.... ....

    +Professor K nope

  76. N.... ....

    Any more songs like this from him? (Like Agent Orange, Among The Sleep, Suicidal Failure, The Soundtrack) ?

    N.... ....

    @Nofsy Check out the weathermen crew album. That's not only cage tho!

    N.... ....

    @Nofsy waterworld

    N.... ....

    @Nofsy Leak Bros - Waterworld album , Leak Bros are Cage and Tame One

    N.... ....

    +Nofsy a lot of the stuff on For Your Box and Movies For The Blind are similar

    N.... ....

    +Nofsy smut peddlers - porn again too!

  77. M.... D....

    Cage reminds me of necro so much.. anyone else?

    M.... D....

    @***** I've heard this is classed as acid rap, but anyway how did naming the gnre come into this? loln

    M.... D....

    Well, that'd make since a few of the songs on Movies for the Blind are produced by Necro.

    M.... D....

    Cage is more versatile. Necro is dope, but they don't really remind me of each other.

    M.... D....

    Yup east coast 4 eva

    M.... D....

    Hush fah got

  78. B.... B....

    Love this song. The music makes me cry for some reason. Makes me think of my past. Sad past.

  79. u.... ....

    "Exit the bathroom, enter a lead parade, gettin' shot the fuck up but smoke some pigs on the way".... Damn, so dope, this music brings me back to better days...

  80. F.... R....

    Turn up the volume and put on your 3d glasses kids..

  81. A.... L....

    fuck you cage you fucking sell out...i guess money is your god. i used to get stoned and listen to these ill tracks,picturing that if i ever went on a kill spree this song would be in the back of my head.its beat keeping my foot steps at its tempo while its verses played out in my head.tapping deep into that deep dark character within.those drums...its almost as if it brings out something primal within me >:D but that was a different time a different mind...

    A.... L....

    I don't have a problem with Chris changing his out look on life.its more or less in that he's dumbed down his lyrics for all the kids to sing along. ¿get me? but i guess you must be right I'm not an artist that title is reserved for the gifted composers the Revolutionary thinkers the ones who present us with a strange but all too familiar view.

    A.... L....

    I apologize if i came off as a bit of a hipster with the i liked him better when only a few knew about him.well thats my opinion and like any other it might be subject to bias and skewed by perception.either way i agree as long as it makes you happy you shouldn't care what others have to say.so are you planing on uploading any of your song?

    A.... L....

    best of luck.

  82. M.... P....

    He's way better than Eminem

    M.... P....

    LOOOOOOOOOOOL. Sec..






    BAHAJAJAJJAHAHAHAHAHA HA

    M.... P....

    Nell Tremagne wdym cage never went downhill. Kill The Architect is a really solid hip hop album and book ov Sam is alright. I wouldn’t count depart from me as a rap album it’s more rock and Hell’s Winter is his best album don’t @me.

    M.... P....

    @Nell Tremagne No kidding. I get tired of seeing Eminem mentioned in every single Cage video.

    Their little feud ended more than a decade ago. It's time to move on already.

    M.... P....

    @Jack Gillespie you're trippin bro😂 no idea what you're talkin about

    M.... P....

    @Jack Gillespie well said

  83. i.... ....

    Get to see him in Aug. Can't fucking wait. Long over due

  84. G.... ....

    "Do I make music or is music making me?"

  85. W.... ....

    I wish this song never ended. I can't get enough of this shit.

  86. G.... ....

    funneh what kinda memories songs can bring up
    For me this one was summer 02
    Blake Utter one of my firs lulz cow

  87. r.... s....

    cage used to be the illest grimiest fuck on the planet. 

  88. S.... C....

    man you all need to quit sleepin on cage

    S.... C....

    Fuck up. I bet you sleep on Eminems nuts

  89. D.... C....

    this is fucking poetry 

    D.... C....

    Fucking right?

  90. M.... H....

    RJD2 produced this, just fyi

    M.... H....

    good comment

    M.... H....

    +MAXVOL HOUSE Yup. Sampled the old Outer Limits intro theme

    M.... H....

    NO way! I could never imagine RJD2 making a beat this dirty

    M.... H....

    yeah people sleep on how much cage is really respected in the hip hop industry big producers used to give him beats all the time

    M.... H....

    Rjd2 is one of the best producers ever idgaf

  91. A.... P....

    exit the bath with a metal and lead parade**

  92. L.... L....

    within three minutes im approached for H

  93. c.... ....

    Most people don't do drugs heavily. It really, really helps if you want to get Cage.

  94. D.... A....

    Amazing music

  95. h.... ....

    probably not married at this point lol, too busy doing drugs

  96. R.... ....

    Sounds like some horrocore shit wooh I never thought I'd find a track I like by him but I feel this one this song is like a movie for your ears. Was he actually married at the time or just spitting rhymes in that sense just wondering?

    R.... ....

    hence the tittle movies for the blind

  97. s.... b....

    eyedea and abilities

  98. M.... T....

    I love movies for the blind its so much content but to be honest overall Eminem is a better rapper when it comes to rhymes but cage is a really good story teller for a darker cause however Eminem puts his life into a darker form there both different people say Eminem stole his style nah i don't cause there styles aren't EXACTLY the same they do say crazy white boy shit but they been through shit

    M.... T....

    Personally I am just sick of seeing the whole "Eminem vs Cage" discussion now. It's been over with since 2004 or so. It's time to move on.

    The only reason they both get compared so frequently is because they are both white.
