Dream On
Da-da-da-da da-da-da da-da oh-oh-oh
Dream on, let me dream on
Dream on, I want to dream on
I can deal with the mockery
Pretty soon they gon' follow me
Dream on, I've got to dream on
How many drops will it take before we spill
How many likes does it take to break a smile
How many takes until we find the right one
So many, many, afraid of choosing wrong
What's wrong with me
Cause not too long ago when I was in Haiti
Running on the street, believing in fairy tales
Believing the lies, so I knew I couldn't fail
Didn't have much to say at the time
But in my broken French, I used to spit random lines
Didn't care if they rhyme (uh-uh, uh)
Man, you know the deal
A kid with no skill but was ill
For the rap appeal and the thrill
Somehow that feel like so long ago
What happened to that kid from before
Who used to say one day I would touch the sky for sure
Now I don't know anymore
I'm tired, but still I want more
I'm on the come up, don't wanna mess up
How I'm all grown up, but still get thrown off
By people's word of caution and care
Come from a place of love but it's really fear they give off
Just wanna keep the heart beating
Don't know where I'm going, but I'm chasing something
So let me close my eyes when it's hard living
I'm afraid of death, but I love his cousin
So let me
Dream on, let me dream on
Dream on, I want to dream on
I can deal with the mockery
Pretty soon they gon' follow me
Dream on, I've got to dream on
I won't let you come bother me
When your recipe is to go trouble me
Don't wanna waste my energy no more
I won't let you come bother me
When it's your recipe to start trouble me
Don't wanna waste my energy
I won't let you come bother me
When your recipes is to go trouble me
Don't wanna waste my energy no more
I won't let you come bother me
When it's your recipe to start trouble me
Don't wanna waste my energy
Don't wake me up even if you know I'll never make it
Don't wanna feel how Adam did when he saw he's naked
Look at the field, so many fillers masqueraded
Don't wanna fake it, I'd rather have my mind sedated
Not gonna lie, I almost didn't make this
Voices filling in my head, telling me this shit a miss huh
On the way up, don't you mind the skeptics
Proving them wrong is part of the checklist
But, the start ain't sweet
Can a nigga feed when he got no reach
Gotta make ends meet working on my skill,
Working year by year
Now I'm in too deep gotta plant my seed
Forgot a plan B, let me birth this beat
Waiting patiently for the day it peak, how high, we'll see
Will it ever be something I can reap
But with a start like this where shit ain't sweet
Will a nigga keep surging still in shallow streams
Cause this shit ain't cheap (heavy is the hand man)
Let the pen bring heat, gotta burn this sheet
So the words can speak, and the ops go squeak
Why the nick I'm in call me a black sheep
Don't care if I fit, just wanna get lit
They'll want a sip, and I'll watch them dig but
My bars too deep and that's why I speak easy
And when they creep, y'all never sleep on me
Till then nigga
Dream on, let me dream on
Dream on, I want to dream on
I can deal with the mockery
Pretty soon they gon' follow me
Dream on, I've got to dream on
Da-da-da-da da-da-da da-da oh-oh-oh
