"Dreams" is a visually vivid story through rap about a relationship that results in a violent love triangle. The wit and animated fluctuation of Idris' vocal range accompanied by the sophisticated and genre liberated beat production of McCoy accurately carve their presence in the current name dropping rotation of authentic hip hop contributions of today's montage of refreshing and anticipated acts. Stay tuned , there is much more to come.

DREAMS
Lyrics by Kareem Idris
Intro
(Singing) So Long So Long So Long So Long
Verse One:
It was a cold night moon hung and shined bright Vince felt invince-able especially after the fight/
Long drawn out words said un-polite his girl had a knack to push buttons to his core like /talking ‘bout issues from the past /passive aggressive his mother said it wouldn’t last/ blast!!!
sharp shooter his weakness was white girls with hooters /silver spoon attract suitors that smoke more than Buddha/ Hallelujah getting lost like Bermuda so deep he didn’t know the name of the cougar/ sucking on his kahunas and face game was super stretched out maneuvers the type you save then delete on computers/
Money can’t buy you love though/ Vince was used to using his capital as a lasso/ low/ most would stoop after show/ strike a pose, white nose, scenes froze, lost clothes, bruised knees and elbows /but she was different even made him think about his girl /no guilt just a more expensive string of pearls/ side chick to Last same time of candle wick /lips thick make a mess with the lipstick/ fit/ thrown by her man rick who trailed her in his car and now Vince is the target
First Hook:
So long to yesterday
So long to yesteryear
I’ve seen so many peers fall from fears, droppin tears/
But it was all sincere, where do we go from here?
The good ones disappear
Me: (Singing) So Long So Long So Long So Long

Second Verse:
Anger mixed with passion/
He’s only thinking bashing/
Insecure the more he thinks of the past when /
Him and his lady were an item young and naïve at the club dancing/ romancing/
Before the dance took a turn and her appetite grew before she learned what the power of the vagina could do /interest in a new career she desired to pursue brand new hairdo highlights with the blonde hue/ only ranked with a few 2 live for a crew drinks passed music blasts she fast and act fool/
But Rick had it up to here shed a tear when he saw her enter into Vince gates and disappear/
Exited from the car/ with his new piece that was legally registered!!! And Vince thought he was a Star!!!!/ Gates remained open while he frolicked at the bar!!!! /With his back to the entrance but Rick knew who he was looking for!!!!/But his lady saw him first/ her outburst/ made the whole crowd disperse/ Vince cursed /as he crashed into the wall head first! /Rick erratic with a pointed semi-automatic emphatic as he spoke to Vince who was stuck from panic/ now face to face with his fate /his life flashed before him murdered was pre-meditated/crime of passion up close the host assassinated / without a reason to live turned the gun on himself to seal the whims of the primitive!
Second Hook:
So long to yesterday
So long to yesteryear
I’ve seen so many peers fall from fears, dropping tears/
But it was all sincere, where do we go from here?
The good ones disappear
(Singing) So Long So Long So Long So Long
