Phora - The Dream Lyrics






Yeah
Lately I feel like the devil's watching, he taunts me
I been having these thoughts in my head, they haunt me
I been trying to keep my focus but I keep having this dream
That I lost my life when I got shot in 2015, and
I walk around my city and no one sees me
I used to think, "If I died it would be so easy"
Well, here I am, feel like everyone left me
Now I'm back at home and everything feels so empty
Upstairs I see the girl I love crying alone
I see the cuts on her wrists, she's scared of dying alone
I said her name softly, I swear that she looked right at me
That's when I tried to walk up to her, but she walked past me, damn
At my funeral, they dressed in all black
Everybody mourning my death while I stand in the back
And I look at they faces, in they eyes the pain is so clear
But the people that I called my friends, they ain't even here
Crazy how quickly they forget, instead of mourning my death
They fighting over who gets the house and who gets the checks, damn
I gave my heart to these people throughout these songs
And it's sad to know that none of it matters now that I'm gone, damn

Yeah, yeah
All my albums are on the charts, and all the radios wanna play me
I guess it took me to die for them to appreciate me
I see them posting and saying how much they miss me
But back when I was alive and depressed they ain't never hit me
Before I died they all used to hate me, but now it's funny
They post pictures, they all tryin' to claim me but never loved me
Spit on my name when I was alive, I'll never forget
It's sad that they wait till you die to show they respect, but
Finally all the people who I looked up to
Say how they respect me, saying they woulda loved to
Meet me in the past, but it's too late for that now
The way these people used to treat me, they can't take it back now
People tell stories about how we were close and how they would ride for me
I know I'm gone, but that energy they can't hide from me
Award shows and these red carpets the same
They make these tributes to my name, but back then they never invited me
Look, I'm at the Grammys, I wish I could tell my mom I made it
It only took a hole in my head to be nominated
I looked for love from these people but all along
What they said was true, they don't love you until you gone, fuck
But the truth is this life never goes the way you plan it
I guess the point of this song is don't take your life for granted
And appreciate people while they still here
And before you judge someone take a look in the mirror
Because at any moment anything could happen
Nothing is ever promised, but you can just imagine
How it would be, so I give the type of love I want for me
'Cause one day it'll be my last and it won't just be a dream, I mean

    Yo.. I didnt know about this great lyricist until this week sometime... I heard "faithful" on pandora n fell in love with it... Not only cuz he spoke my feelings n was on point too, but it's just a great fuckin song! I just took the time at work (crazy downtime) to listen to his whole last album n I can tell he is in so much pain, but it comes through so beautifully in his music... He is a great writer and I hope to work with him someday as I am a writer myself. I still gotta go through the other albums, but homie just gained a new fan.. See u at the top!!! Bless

  59. K.... D....

  65. G.... K....

    One day it we’ll be my last.

  66. A.... S....

    I appreciate you all the way it took sometime to really understand this because there’s actually someone in my life who feels that this life would be without her. Now she feels great she isn’t always depressed when she’s with me and I’m by her side all the time. Bottom line is you showed me a lot with your music for real I don’t think many people would still be here if it wasn’t for you. You showed me how to love unconditionally. My girl is now happy and ima keep it that way.

    A.... S....

    That this life would be better without her*

    Thank you for making a song I could relate to everything ur saying in this song I've dreamt of and it's scary because I've been shot at too multiple times and that made me not fear death anymore I thought it was just gonna be easy when I die but it's not there's more to that.My thoughts and my dreams scare me the most they destroy me inside.I never thought it would be possible to be afraid of ur own thoughts and dreams. Thank you phora for having lots of songs I could relate to😔

  94. r.... G....

    I have the same dream about myself.I could feel the pain even though I was dreaming I would wake up crying and scared.Truth is I'm afraid of dreaming because I don't want to feel that feeling of being alone with no one able to hear my cries for help😔

    r.... G....

    The more I dreamt of it the more it fucked up my mind.That shit fucked me up so hard I don't even look at life and death the same way anymore im more afraid now and I'm only 14😔
