Verse 1
Snaggletooth hagglers who chew the fat, spewin that
Uzi slap talon semi-automatic tangent
Treachery's tapestry is patterned with bloody embroidery
Thuggish imbroglio and skull duggery etched a gaping hole
NOLA acts a pagan pandora ladened with corpses
an open sarcophagus with cadaver staggering out of it
Tragedy badgers with the unflappable angst of battery
Retaliation is the Pavlovian catalyst
Chicanery is championed emphatically, dilapidated dwellings decorated with government funded window dressing
These mechanic ratches click and dismantle anatomy
Currently procurring currency's a lure for lurid schemes
Thus insurgents murmuring of murder's a reccuring theme
Tyrannical syntax is the silverback alpha male tantrum
And foreplay for the gun crazed bonanza, Maaaan!

Hook
Try a melatonin, it might inspire good sleep
instead of prespiring because of trials in the streets
but you slept on better days, now you deal with the unpleasantries, you made that brick and mortar bed brotha man, pleasant dreams

Verse 2
In adolescense we was hacky sack heel attack happy for slabs of Laffy Taffy, pixelated polygon pleasure cartridges choppy graphics, frozen cups soaking in flavor, sugar coagulate, young palette a passion for Now&Laters and action figures, Saturdays, summers latter days lavish humidity, dashed with abandon, freeze tag street lamp flickering, Magazines, grab and you gasp, scantily clad fantasies, hand me the napkin, nad in it and nap rapturous
Shunning scholastics graphed my rap rhythms in tattered tablets, time lasped, yet the acumen for that habit's ever expansive, haphazard at calculs, now my mathematics are theorum rhythm equations Pythagoras couldn't ascertain
Browsing my lifes chapters, flashes of regrets scattered, I relayed them to The Master in prayer, so now they matter less, Peace unto my family branches nursed me from foliage, the lineage has grown to a vineyard of live constituents, Maaaaan!

Hook
Pleasant dreams brotha man, though you awaken to unpleasant things, peasants and beggars and quasi-kings so the dollar reigns, and though the trials of this life, cause you to lose sleep, let the melatonin release until you at ease, and its peace.
