Bad Dreams lyrics
by Red Hot Chili Peppers
[Verse: Busta Rhymes & The Devil]
Yo
Me and my n*ggas and my clique be gettin' mad cream
Ball in the club, now I'm drunk havin' a bad dream
This muh'f*cker tried to greet me with wealth
I never knew that I would see that day that I would meet the Devil himself
This n*gga was eagerly waitin' to prove it
Astonishingly, already dancin' to his own burial music
Well anyway, he plottin' to do it to me
In a certain kind of way, and started off directly poppin sh*t to me
While he spoke a couple of fires would spark
While he sat in the shadow talkin' his sh*t we watched the sky gettin' dark - he said
Well isn't you (?) where it hurts, I'll leave you in a rock sample
Straight up leakin' in the back of a church
Then I ghost ya crib and haunt you like a ghost in your home
Leavin' you old and decrepit like them ruins in Rome
Watch your body shrivel up and turn your ashes to smoke
f*ck your flesh don't get yo blood sucked, the blood of ya foes
I be that n*gga that'll torture your spouse
And leave a thousand body bags like truth.com in front of your house
Got me buggin' on a whole 'nother level
Tell me how the f*ck a n*gga really end up havin 'beef with the Devil
sh*t bugged the whole effect the n*gga had on my dreamin'
Body reactin' mentally, goin' to war with the demon
Semi-chaotic like a typical storm
So embellished in the dream a n*gga felt it in the physical form
The dream got my nose runny and sh*t
Eyes watery, shorty watchin' my body twitch funny and sh*t
Givin shorty sleepin' with me the creeps
She buggin' off how a n*gga just sweatin and breathin' so hard in his sleep
Determined to conquer this n*gga so let it begin
Absolutely focused on killin' the demon within
So now we fight in the name of my brethren
And every blow connect durin' the fight you can hear the thunder roll into heaven
Inhale a deep breath of fresh air
The Devil's presence blows a cold draft leavin' a scent of death in the air
While my mind was reassemblin' now
Simultaneous wifey watchin' a n*gga body tremblin' now
Couldn't conquer me so now the Devil wanted me dead
Stabbed a n*gga with the same bone he ripped from his head
Yo it's funny how the Devils'll test us
But it's only select, n*ggas blessed with somethin' so miraculous and precious
Til I'm dead I'm always battlin' through
You disbelieve then cut my main vein that all my blood be travelin' through
Somebody got to die, settle the score
Because it's me or this n*gga, I'm fighting to the death
I'm ready for WAR!!!!!!
(*Devil laughing fades*)
