Joe Budden – In My Sleep

I heard talks of Joey’s Padded Room leaking in it’s entirety but I haven’t checked anywhere. Regardless, ya’ll better support and purchase that shit on February 24th! Here goes a (very dope) leak produced by The Klasix (which happens to be Meka’s favorite song off the album as well). The Rik Cordero directed video is soon to follow. Shouts to AmalgamDigital!

  2. This is the first time in years that I’ve been genuinely amped about an album coming out. This track is absolutely amazing. If this is any indicator of the rest of the album, we’re looking at a certified banger.

  20. I preordered Padded Room I hope it leaks soon.

  21. It’s ya boy Nilly, back with the lyrics…

    Baby girl told me in my sleep I was talkin
    So it’s only natural I asked her “what I said?”
    She said she woke up when she heard
    But she was so damn tired she couldn’t make out a word
    She said she was trying to see if eventually if I would scream the name of a bird
    I told her “that’s absurd”
    And then gave her the face like “word?!”
    And then she replied “yeah”
    Said “it was quite weird”, said she was type scared
    I said “that’s the side effect that you get when you trade bad dreams for some great nightmares”
    When I close my eyes, I escape the poltergeist
    My escape from reality just what I needed
    Brings me to a place where shorty never cheated
    And even if she tried and succeeded
    In this other world I wouldn’t even get heated
    Fuck the details, I don’t care about why
    I’m chillin with my grandmother, she aint die
    I was browsing online and seen Mike on that banner
    And said “you can be like me and beat cancer”
    Anything I touched I feel
    Know its fiction but it seems so real
    Was leaving out the casino with a nympho
    Yes Ray it can be so simple
    Here’s how I avoid problem with my kin folk
    Learn how to build me a house with no win
    dows.. and that’s when I think I saw a ribbon in the sky but it wasn’t from an in
    tro… cuz where I’m at there’s no rumors or gossip but still got love for Miss In
    fo… she said in my sleep I be laughing, but shit seem funny to me
    My ice cream was 200 degrees
    If It tricked I’d get a hole in my dungarees
    See my animinoty is my protection
    And me and hip hop have no connection
    Which got me to reflecting
    Is that why the mirror don’t show my reflection
    When I close my eyes there’s no dollar
    So we can stretch that one as an excuse
    Of why folks do the things they do
    Or why people act so brand new?
    I had wings on flying outta prison with a ratchet
    Was only there cuz someone snitched
    No ones poor but no ones rich
    Just my way of creeping if life’s a bitch
    Took a walk on the ceiling just to get my mind right
    That was yesterday… so in hindsight
    Since I was able to haul off
    I took it as God telling my I’ll never fall off
    Got rid of the name brands and the jewelry
    Most people just use it as medicine
    Like it takes them somewhere they ain’t never been
    But here you better off not better then
    Stuck in the room with an elephant
    Open the closet and dapped up my skeleton
    Had a convo with a man with no ears
    And all of a sudden everything became so clear
    Have no fear
    I just bought a first class trip to nowhere, everybody goes there
    But they don’t stay the whole year,
    Me I got 365 shows there
    My girl said in my sleep I be walking, so I ask baby “where I go?”
    She said I be walking slow,
    She don’t ever wanna get outta bed so she don’t know
    I went to see a man walking on water
    Asked if he’d ever get things back in order
    I been there two years over a quarter
    But every time I open my eyes it’s like torture
    He said “please I gave you a whole other world for you to go do with as you please
    Just so you appeased mixed with a couple of signs bout real life while you make believe”
    So I teleported outta there with a grin
    Met a bum with a mansion that invited me in
    Then we politiced about politics
    He mentioned def jam but I ain’t acknowledge it
    I went to see a virgin with AIDS, yea I thought about smashing that
    Yea her ass was fat, so appealing
    Tattoo on her inner thigh that said “she was doin better then she was feeling”
    I think I seen shorty before, maybe in the club or something
    Maybe in VIP, but wasn’t nobody there but me
    And the club was all red, and she started playing with my head
    And then I came
    Then I asked shorty whats her name and it was weird cuz she fucked around and disappeared
    Like what a cruel joke
    Cig lit but from it was no smoke
    Flicked in the ashtray and seen Stack’s face
    Slashed to a school hallway on a half day
    Was getting chased, couldn’t tell by who
    Then the hallway turned into a cliff
    Screamin “piff” before I was dead
    Somehow I jumped my ass up out that bed
    Then baby girl told me in my sleep I was screaming
    So I said “that’s a lie”
    She put her right hand in the sky
    And said “you was but I don’t know why”
    Gotta go, goodbye..

  22. don’t get me wrong , joe budden’s dope shit
    but am i the only one who ain’t feelin’ this ?

    ——————————————————
    ^co-sign I ain’t feeling this..maybe it’ll grow on me but I’ll still cop the album though

  23. props on the lyrics Nilly

  24. so did the whole album leak? i doubt it.

  25. eveyone please go out and cop this cd on the 24th. this is real hip hop

  26. one of the most complex and creativ track ever

  27. only gave it one listen..didn’t jump off the page but i think the lyrics make up for the beat if you listen to them closely

  28. not a huge budden fan

  29. yo this track is way nicer than you thnk, propz to dude who postd the lyrics. def. goin to cop padded room on the 24th!!!! gonna ba klassic.1

  30. dope concept but there’s no real meaning behind it..just ranting about a random, wild dream unless i missed something..

  31. But here you better off not better then
    Stuck in the room with an elephant
    Open the closet and dapped up my skeleton
    Had a convo with a man with no ears
    And all of a sudden everything became so clear
    Have no fear
    I just bought a first class trip to nowhere, everybody goes there
    But they don’t stay the whole year,
    Me I got 365 shows there

    THAT shit was crazy.

  32. I gotta give this a couple more listens but right now the trak is ok…

  33. dope trackkkk

  34. THIS IS BAANAANAAS. You guys are fuckin nuts if you don’t think this is insanity.

  35. YOOO. hes dead! in the track hes dead. in my sleep. its a eternal sleep…read the lyrics listen closely….grandmothers alive…talkin to god….not caring if is girl cheats…and at the end…he screaming for his life..get it!!

  36. Ya’ll is buggin’. Budden’s nice but he ain’t no god mc.

  37. Man this is a great track

  38. Yo this shit is crazzzzy, def buying the album. Buying two copies one to listen and one to just keep unwrapped cause its a classic.

    MOOD MUZIK!!!!

  39. his cd wont sell more than soulja boy! bet any kind of money

  40. Damn this is one of my new favorite songs & is one real ass talk song! Got me anticipating Padded Room dropping next week even more now & I definitely can’t wait to see the video to!
    Sidenote: This got me thinking all of Slaughterhouse has dropped some new solo shit in the past 2 days be it videos or new songs now all we need to complete that is some new Crooked I! Also makes you wonder if they planned that out themselves this way to?!

  41. his cd wont sell more than soulja boy! bet any kind of money
    ^^
    I hope he does sell as much as S.B. If he sold as much as Soulja did the first week (32,000) for his total amount of sales that would be dope cuz he’s on a independent/digital label. So he probably making like $5-6$ Soulja Boy is on a major and only sold about 32,000 first week and he probably make like .10 cents a record, lol.

  42. dope track. Im looking forward to the album.
    people that dont get the concept are probably not ones for deep listening/understanding

  43. This album will probably sell 20,000 copies. man i can’t believe he gave a shout out to Miss Info in this song

  44. fuckin groupies smh lol.. Track is awful all u budden fans tryin to convince yourself otherwise.. Why is he stil usin that pump it up cadence on his flow and the stupid chipmunk

  45. “Track is awful all u budden fans tryin to convince yourself otherwise”

    Although I don’t think the track is “awful” I do agree with you, Budden has way too many groupies that look at him like the 2nd coming of christ, Shit’s disgusting.

    There’s really nothing special about this track, just a bunch of nonsense ramblings, that fans just assume is amazing because they think it goes way over there head.

  46. lol a @ “nonsense”
    yall are probably kidz
    seriously shit is insane, everthing in that song is connected and have meaning, stfu please
    that all track is an entire metaphore
    video will be great

  47. DOPE

  48. This track is 100x better than “The Future”. This is what I expect from an album called “Padded Room”.

  49. All yall hatin ass dickheads need to listen to hip hop. this is his single off padded room..a Hip Hop artist. fuck club shit and all that make sumbody dance shit. Joe is the type of artist that spits real shit even on club shit period. So why you expect him to change it? He wants to appeal to his FANS…I mean shit listen to Joe Budden (Went GOLD haters…didnt flop in the time where albums were like $20 after tax. so the album did well), Mood Muzik 1-3, Halfway House, and now Padded Room…he has been very consistent. But never got the attention he was suppose to due to a lack of promotion. If you listen to his lyrics and not the fuckin beat you’d actually hear one of the most underrated artist to ever step foot in music. Shit jus sound crazy when i look on these comments and i see niggas hatin makin stupid comments like…”not a single”..like its up to you to decide…Listen to the music and appreciate the art…

  53. Straight to the mp3 player

  54. I cant stop listening to this song…its like a fresh breath of air
    I REALLY like beat but the LYRICS are impeccable

    *patiently waiting for the album

  55. He is saying he trades bad dreams for some good nightmares… so obviously he went to sleep fucked up. He explains all these random events going on. A house with no windows but he sees a Ribon in the sky… hallucinating… he spoke to a man with no ears and then it all became clear… (sick lyrics by the way) but the sickest part of the song is the ending…. when the girl is like gotta go goodbye…. this nigga is still hallucinating haha… budden is sick with it
