Open Mike Eagle - Nightmares Lyrics
I went to bed at midnight
And the clock said 1, 2, 3...
Go 'head and close your eyelids
And then tell me what you see
Cause every word that comes through me
I met some old friends recently
They on a whole new frequency
I made some new friends the other day
But they was talking 'bout colorways
You can't rock clothes like Kanye
Then go home with frozen entrees
Yo, Give me food truck tacos
Heavy sour-cream, no cilantro
A bunch of style authors but no fathers
I stay familiar with my lineage
And spend a lot of time defending it
Yeah, I think I would've made a great panther
I used to be a break dancer
And I used to smoke a pack a day
But I got scared of the face cancer
I pray to God like Esther Rolle
That I'll be blessed with some breath control
I went to bed at midnight
And the clock said 1, 2, 3...
Go 'head and close your eyelids
And then tell me what you see
Cause every word that comes through me
It was born in a nightmare
Yo, I want shag on my floor charred carpeting
And "Oh God," singing four-part harmony
Go to the valley, get a manager
Who specializes in porn-star marketing
I wish every day was Halloween
I'd be Frylock from the Aqua Teens
Yo. Why? I don't know why
Maybe to make the time go by
Maybe I got bats in my belfry
But if it was that, who could tell me?
You say the things that you overheard
I see the things that you don't observe
The written life strictly synthesized
And tricks the eyes like lower-thirds
I see the future for city niggas
Gang-banging with samplers on midi-triggers
A different future for rural folks
Cause that will be where the tourists go
To take pictures of families with real-life first cousins, sisters and aunties
Yo, I got a heart like a Buick motor
And play my part like a super soldier
I got a mind like a steel toe
I be walking on my heels, though
The internet and the cable's out
Man, I should go get a paper route
I went to bed at midnight
And the clock said 1, 2, 3...
Go 'head and close your eyelids
And then tell me what you see
Cause every word that comes through me
It was born in a nightmare

Here from Perel
Perel - Cray
oh damn is that perel's cray in the back music
Pretty sure this song came out before perel even made music bro
That singing was OUTSTANDING AND PERFECT ALSO comment from Alexander
i love all of the producers in the background pretending to dj, lmao
great song tho, OME.
damn i´m so fuckjin high, then u just randomly stepped on this bideo and now the trip is on. (Y) Best shit i got my mind flown away since some time, beat is dope with the voice and so fucking smooth. This is some real ass rapping goin on, want moooore.
I like this!!
why this not on spotify?
It was last time I used spotify a couple years ago. it's in one of his albums
Here from the Adventure Time podcast, and loving the track!
very nice
@0:18 Hey, I didn't know Nocando produced this!?!??!? Good job man, HellFyre Club is not to be fucked with!! #PROPS
THIS BEAT
This song is on my playlist for my early morning runs. 5:30 in the morning, it is still dark outside, almost no one on the street, me running and thinking about the day that lies ahead - perfect setting for this track. :-)
What is the sample from?
Johnnie Ray - Cry you're welcome.
Too bad most of the songs on _Dark Comedy_ had such shitty production value.
You know what's great about you? You contribute nothing but you still feel entitled to a spot below the video. I mean, you could have written ten million things, but instead you hit us with an unsubstantiated blanket statement about some shit you had nothing to do with. You could make a better contribution by simply not expressing yourself.
@Phil Robinson An insignificant comment on an insignificant contribution. Mama always said I was destined for big things!
@LoquaciousApe Don't be so hard on yourself LoquaciousApe! Stay up man! For me!
i love the low key production. it fits in nicely with the lyrics,
are you kidding me most of the beats on dark comedy were 10x more complex than this one. hella creative and wonky samples and tons of synth work.
I think the humming towards the end was a great touch to an already bad ass song!
The guys in the back producing are jamming out! lol
putting in that work
Love it "uhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
#OpenMikeEagle
this beat is friggin sick as all hell..
pretty dope not gonna front
So glad I got to meet you and see you perform last night in San Diego at Kava Lounge! You were AMAZING!!!
"Why? I don't know why...maybe to make the time go by.....maybe I got bats in my Belfry...but if it was that, who could tell me?"
Met some new friends the other day but they was talkin about colorways / you can't rock those like Kanye when you're eatin frozen entree
There's something seductive about this guy... not necessarily in a sexual way.
Yeah but also definitely in a sexual way tho

Honestly, some of the best music out there right now. I have no idea how this isn't more popular.

The written life's strictly synthesized
And tricks the eyes like lower-thirds
