Saturday morning, 8:30, waking early it's a great day
Feeling kinda odd, how I feel inside, something kinda off, but I gotta maintain,
Hitting up the squad...... nobody answering they phones
What's going on? Must be alone, nothing is working & ain't nobody home
So I take a walk out & the streets is silent
No cars, no birds, just peace & quiet
Haven't decided what I want to do so I head to the beach excited
I leave my place & I meet her along the way
Blonde hair, blue eyes with a lot to say
She told me to come to her workplace tonight, alright, it's important that she talks to me
OH DEER.... There's a diner up the block it's the place where she works at
Where she serves at & anything I need, everything is free cause I deserve that
Damn, you right about that but as soon as I look up to her, she disappeared
Man, this is weird, not really sure if I'm thinking clear
Got me wondering
Was it real? Is it real? was she real?
Somebody come and pitch me I don't know whats really real.
And I don't know what to think about it I'm starting to wonder if it's real, I doubt it
Don't know where to go, that's how it goes really don't know how I feel about it
Saturday evening, 8.30 and I've set a reminder
Get ready and I head to the diner
This the place that she said I could find her
As I walk in, feeling something strange nobody's talking
There's a bunch of people but nobody's eating and it's like they're sleeping when I walked in, well
There's one open table as I slip right past and I take a seat
And before I could order I looked over and there she was with a full plate to eat
And it's everything that I like really got me feeling like I'm living in a fairy tale
Then she tells me that her name's Rose Marigold and that she knows me very well
And so I froze and asked,
Are you real? is this real? was she real?
Somebody come and pitch me I don't know what's really real
And I don't know what to think about it, is it true? Does she really know me? I doubt it
Rose Marigold, that's what I'm told I really don't know how I feel about her
It's a late night, let the hours pass when we talking
Time must've felt like it stopped lost in this conversation, we're locked in
Everybody's gone, it's just me and her so I wait for her till her shift ends
Said she wants to show me how well she knows me, start walking over to her crib then
Then she opens the door and lo and behold surprised at all that I saw
A six foot cut out of me, hundred posters and a bunch of pics of me on her wall
All of my notebooks, music and old hooks verses and everything else you could ever know
From the Midnight Myst to the grits, FoCy, Blood Moon, everything I had ever wrote
Obsessed, she knows all about me all of the things in my personal life
The man of her dreams says that she thinks bout me before she goes to her bed every night
Perfect for her and so in love, telling me she really can't believe I existed
So she sat down next to me, holding me, begging to stay & she looked in my eyes and she whispered
Are you real?
This story will eat you alive, WAKE!!
