Story Behind The Song

Igo had me listen to this beat and I immediately fell in love with it. It was just one of those tracks that you just listen to over and over again. I initially thought I could get away with re-doing the actual chorus of "Sweet Dreams", but I decided against it. Everything else about the song was so original that I just decided to keep it that way. I believe you have to envision success before you achieve it and this song embodies that feeling. I'm very proud of this song.

Song Description

Its a fast paced, very commercial spin on rock, hip-hop, and pop. It's all over the place... Extremely creative and cleverly designed. This would be an alternative Jay-Z suddenly shot with Helium. The title is derived from the 80's hit "Sweet Dreams" by The Eurythmics and is in part inspired by it.

Lyrics

Sweet Dreams

Who woulda knew ya boy T would soon take his prose from hand me down clothes to new Hov that blow from dude go to whoa who are you to oh and all the while I'm thinking man like didn't they know? Apropos, and so the saga unfolds just like the check with the comma 6 0's/ wasn't long ago I was sippin kool-aid/ now it's cabernet at a new age bistro/ pj's to intros well known dj's spins what I say might could get on e-bay/ freeway rollin, pockets swollen, same kind of eyes hidden by shades glowing it's- Rembrandt with a touch of Picasso, the king of me castle, new Michaelangelo/ let it go homes' this is Rome, I'm the throne/ you are all overthrown/ it's the Pope of the microphone

(chorus) These are my dreams, my needs, I'm on my knees I'm praying/ for these I'll bleed, which means to me my dreams are waiting/ contemplating, observating, oscillating, abject hating... of flags that's waving and so get your ass on the dance floor.

I'm not Amos didn't want to be famous/ looking at me dangerous fuck you I made it/ I'm obscene I'm a mover, shaker/ visine to haters I'm a movie maker/ seated next to Jack at the L.A. Lakers game/ all because of what come out of my membrane/ spit game top dollar/ brains Rhode Scholar/ chain game make ya boy hot under the collar got dames hot n bothered wanting me to be they baby father same dame used to complain (I cant be bothered)/ it's pillow talk of a different variety try me you might find high society/ Heidi Klum/ look a likes who/ cat walk around in the latest shoes/ yo I'm in Vegas dude success what it do/ stress level low but oh look at you

These are my dreams, my needs, I'm on my knees I'm praying/ for these I'll bleed, which means to me my dreams are waiting/ contemplating, observating, oscillating, abject hating... of flags that's waving and so get your ass on the dance floor.

I'm just a man on a mission listen pay attention see my vision understand why I'm still guilty of sedition this edition got contrtion but can slip out remission disposition still hot n sunny like Mayweather/ will he flop (no) yall need to stop/ when you this hot and rap meets pop or hip hop its all hot I got a voice that's ahead of the clock/ plus its smooth super-cool but so block/ and its so androgynous/ yeah voice synonymous/ T the top topic '06 anonymous/ this apologist dark once bound for politics hot biz I is show biz that is/ from bus pass to plush Jag/ minus to plus cash/ the black Don Imus fresh ass on my mustache/ what it is Taz? Nah boo that's hush cash they mad when I mash it but I can afford gas
