Close Your Eyes Before They Close You

Some nights I am asleep

Some nights I’m just a creep

Some nights I slay the dragon

In my dreams

With Excalibur almighty

And its blade so crafty


Some nights I go too deep

Way too flippin’ deep

Into topics, discussions

Gossips, conversations

About various plantations


Some nights I take a leap

To a whole new kind of trip

Trying another kind of drip

That I wish I didn’t keep

For it wasn’t really cheap


Some nights I wish I was asleep

While lost on a dusty lonesome road

Where I hear nothing but a toad

And the wind blowing cold


Some nights appear too bright

Because of some police fight

That went too tight

Getting me under their station’s light


Some nights I see no darkness

Just flashes on the freeway

From raging cars and hasty trucks

Chasing piles of bucks

To buy a new pair of crocs


Some nights I carry a load

That makes me say “oh my Lord”

As it almost breaks my spinal chord

While throwing me over the board


Some nights I chat with a brother

Sharing our daily bother

Praising our loving father

Being grateful to each other

      

Some nights become days

And then the music plays
