Lyrical Mash Up

You question was disassociating essential?
Dire Straits, your presence? 2 dang influential 
Press play, the beat drops. It was all a dream. 
I feel it, just like heavy d up in the limousine 
Stories bleed together, wasn’t it biggie?
Nah it’s Nelly. Thinkin bout her, thinkin 'bout me
bout us, how we’ll never be. Only just a dream
Sold on a dream, dang Twista on the scene
These headphones got me tripping, bar after bar
Shuffle with that poetic justice, yea bar after bar
Separation giving clarity, but my hearts hanging on
Here I go connecting dots nah thug it out, next song
Checked the playlist, what’s this? Soft girl era? 
Cuts from the vault, how’d you get a key? Dilemma 
Unlocked something in me, a side I’ve never known
Had love on the brain, but the truths been shown
Had me playin’ lover, askin’ can I go where you go?
Me? Talkin’ Tennessee? Lettin’ my southside show?
That’s the problem, that’s not meant for me
A lover, born into a fighting world. Can’t ya see
Cuz it’s always been just me, myself and I. Do or die
I don’t know how to live, I was only born to survive 
Only knowing how to ride for others, it figures
How to die for others with my hand on the trigger
Cuz it’s a cold Cole world and I can’t get enough
Like the young girl in a push up bra, ya know it, tough
Gathering strength, cuz this bird you can’t change 
Feels good to be a gangster, this kids got range
Here we go. Welcome back, welcome back 
I’m coming home. There she is, I know this track
You had that Sunday kinda love, killing me softly
But it’s a hard knock life and dang am I unlucky
It was just a matter of time. Can’t keep chasing you
Or that ol’ C Chevy feeling that got gone too soon
But can’t nobody love June like Johnny, it’s true
Never met anyone that could break a heart like you
Delete all the love songs, yea I’m already gone
Had the best of my love but I’ve got to move on
Wish we could’ve always been best of friends
Either way, DMX said it, it’s still mad love till the end 
So I’ll stop my crying, it’s just a sign of the times
Can see clearly now, you were never meant to be mine
