Mr. J. Medeiros - Half A Dream feat. Marty James
(from the album Of Gods and Girls)
© copyright 2007

1st verse
18 years in the making, her heart is heavy in fear of it breaking
and every tear is an awakening it brings her clearer she appears to be
taken in
by the sight of a girl she doesnt recognize,
her own image, yo how could she forget those eyes
probably cause the one that's behind them
has grown a little weary of the One who's designed them
all she ever wanted was to feel pretty
she pours pain in her heart till it spills pity
blind to her own masterpiece
she hangs pictures on the wall of people she would rather be
this isnt how it has to be visit past the screen
see how the fit false images in magazines
media type magic photo shop press
see it looks like plastic yo its not flesh
she's a product of the products we sell
another project in a marketing cell
and its getting even harder to tell herself her bodies beautiful
trying to copy what computers do
come on

Hook
That dont mean nothing
wasting your time
searching for something
you'll never find
look through the make up
its not what it seems
when will we wake up from half of a dream

2nd verse
His wallet size is the call to the eyes of most women
plus the car that he drives and his bold living
meant to symbolize hes goal driven
but now hes starting to wonder why everyone one he knows is gold digging
from his home living to his bar hopping
where ever he is he knows his credit cards got him
feeling like a star shopping
with the fear of rock bottom steering his wheels and not stopping
yeah he got problems but he wont let them find him
he'd rather not solve them then let them redefine him
see he cant see behind them
only his need to hide them
within his dreams he ties them onto everything his buying
he sees an item, he makes a purchase
never seeing inside him that there's a greater purpose
and everything hes paid for is straight worthless
if what hes made for doesnt break surface
his a product of the products he sells
another project in a marketing cell
and its getting even harder to tell who he is from his merchandise
the search for gold ain't wroth your life

Hook
That dont mean nothing
wasting your time
searching for something
you'll never find
look through the make up
its not what it seems
when will we wake up from half of a dream

no one ever said it was easy
life will break you down if you let it now
but you gotta work, but you gotta work through it somehow
i know how you feel believe me
you gotta make a point to just stand your ground

a yo the time is now without a doubt
well get through and figure it out come on

Repeat Hook
