[Verse 1: O.C.]
Check out
The scheme of a dream: thick fog all around me
Standing in a tunnel of blood, hounds surround me
The shadow of a child my eyes visualize and figure
And as he walked backwards, the shadow grew bigger
Temptation made me curious to follow it. All fear
In my heart, at that point, I done swallowed it
State like trance as I reach out my hand, he wore
An overcoat robe, face was disclosed—now
Was this a dream or reality or was I ‘bout
To become one of Satan’s fucking fatalities?
In silence, I hear the wings of a black crow
Flapping. The bird lands, then appears a man
Very sleek in physique, stood about six feet
His pupils jet-black, I had to step back
His demeanor wasn’t pure—I knew this for sure. He had
A diseased look that the world couldn’t cure. I’m
Frozen, the fear returned to my body. Heart
Pumping so fast, thought I was going into cardiac
Arrest. I wake up in a cold sweat, wifey
Sleeping on my left sound-asleep. I peep around
The room and then I make a sudden jest. A feather
From a black crow was beside my pillow—was it
A sign from God to rebuke for the things that I
Did in my lifetime? Now my soul’s on the line
I’m puzzled, spark up a Newport, then I take a full
Inhale of the cancer, then I try to find an answer
[Hook: O.C.] (x2)
My wisdom when I’m dropping is something like a doctorate
Necessary like oxygen, I’m seeing who’s my opposite
And who’s my A-Alike, so let’s attract and repel
Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world
[Verse 2: O.C.]
Daylight arose, the wind is blowing hard against the window
Pull up my blinds, there sits the crow. I back
Up fast, heart beating massive, lost my breath
Falling back, collapsing on the mattress
I went into a state of unconsciousness. Open
My eyes up, I’m laying on the dark street, leaves blowing
In the breezes. Jesus. Elm Street like
A nightmare, I take off like a bird through the air. While I’m
Winging it, seeing all sorts of chaos, dead
Bodies, burned buildings, turned-over cars
My eyes seeing visions of an all-out war
Territory factors, picture escape from New York
Gunfire, bombs blowing, nerve gas a-flowing, just
Imagine a whole race of Holocaust showing. Realizing
I was having an out-of-body experience
Return to my physical and wake up tense, laying
In the hospital as I figured the riddle: G-O-D
Bestowing me paranormally, so give insight
Beyond sight about the world we know, a premonition
That I saw through the eyes of a crow
[Hook: O.C.] (x3)
My wisdom when I’m dropping is something like a doctorate
Necessary like oxygen, I’m seeing who’s the opposite
And who’s my A-Alike, so let’s attract and repel
Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world
