That Dream

Joseph Marley, Soul-Rebel Marley-Minto

All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
Wouldn’t dream that dream
It’s all a nightmare to me
All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
If I lived that life

I doh wanna live that dream
A run from police with killers and thieves
And you doh live at ease
That dream
Lost at war can’t find peace
And yu eva wid yu piece
Till you rest in peace
That dream

Young 14 year old
Strap wid fi him 16
First kill him mek was at age of 15
First girl him breed was round the age of 16
And him first born was a girl
Whe him name Christine
(Was she in his dreams?)

All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
Wouldn’t dream that dream
It’s all a nightmare to me
All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
If I lived that life
Knowing their coming after me

I doh wanna live that dream
A run from police with killers and thieves
And you doh live at ease
That dream
Lost at war can’t find peace
And yu eva wid yu piece
Till you rest in peace
That dream

First things first
Mek mi mek yuh know
Let it go let it go let it go
No little youth a nuh suh it go
Just cause the system guh set it suh
Get caught in the trap and yuh neva know
When yuh listen to mi
Yu fi tek yuh notes
Yuh pack with a strap and nuh check the scope
No weh nuh de deh fi run weh guh
(Go weh?)

All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
Wouldn’t dream that dream
It’s all a nightmare to me
All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
If I lived that life
Knowing their coming after me

Wanna live that dream… I doh
A run from police with killers and thieves
And you doh live at ease
That dream
Lost at war can’t find peace
And yu eva wid yu piece
Till you rest in peace
That dream

Ye,
Guess who’s livid
Who mek yu god
Who dead and who living
Nine and forty-five earn yu living
Christine think the dollars yuh mek legit
Ugh!
Hold up!
Get it, get it?
Rat nyam yuh food and left all the prison
Info him leak well that was forbidden
In the court house
A plea all the fidith (5th)

All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
Wouldn’t dream that dream
It’s all a nightmare to me
All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
If I lived that life
Knowing their coming after me

I doh wanna live that dream
A run from police with killers and thieves
And you doh live at ease
That dream
Lost at war can’t find peace
And yu eva wid yu piece
Till you rest in peace
That dream
A run from police with killers and thieves
And you doh live at ease
That dream
Lost at war can’t find peace
And yu eva wid yu piece
Till you rest in peace
That dream

All I know I wouldn’t sleep at night
Wouldn’t dream that dream
It’s all a nightmare to me
...
It’s all a nightmare to me
...
It’s all a nightmare to me
