Nas ends verse one by saying he never sleeps (apparently it's the cousin of death) and starts verse two by saying he's having dreams that he's a gangster. So, these are daydreams or waking hallucinations or something?

You're not wrong, though this feels kind of emotionally spot-on even if it's kind of nonsense in its literal form.

To contribute (badly), I've always thought whoever wrote "Bette Davis Eyes" never had a solid grip on what made Bette Davis' eyes so appealing. Any easy way to check this is against how she was cast in her prime - the woman sketched out in the song doesn't really show any resemblance to the characters she usually played.

Maybe she will kiss on the 5th or 6th

Then turns right around and says a date without a kiss is so incomplete.

but you can play with her feet and suck her big toe or the one in the middle.

It’s simple, unlike a riddle.

... nah, Actually it’s mad mixed signals.
