Just A Dream

[Intro: Tupac sample]
"I just wanna move forward ya'll, for real. I'm tired of the same old, same old. I just wanna take this to the next level. I just wanna be, um, somebody that my mom could be proud of. Somebody that if I have kids, my kids could be proud of, you know what I mean? I ain't tryin to kill the world, I just wanna be in the world. Make a little money in this world."

[Verse 1: J-Formz]
It's hard enough to survive financially
Forget about fulfillin what the world asks of me
I ain't get a tax refund, said I ain't made enough
But I got my own crib and a studio, I'd say I made enough, I think they rapin us
But fuck it, I don't even vote, so I can't say shit
Cause I don't play my own part in gettin it fixed
I can't go lеgit, gotta spit for a livin
Even if it ain't from rippin mics, I'm still with it...
You gotta understand how I feel if you listen
Thе emotion I'm givin when the lyrics are written
And I just want the love, and respect
And the recognition that I feel a real artist should get
Please don't ever forget where my music rests
It's in my heart, sit back and watch the movement start, and it's crazy, cause I ain't even do this yet
But...

[Chorus: Elton John - Blessed sample, (Tupac sample)]
I know, you're still just a dream
(Love? There is no love for a thug. There's no heaven for a thug, and there's no love for a thug. That's just how it is.)
I need you, before I'm too old
(And I appreciate the love, but I haven't even started yet. I've just begun, you know what I mean? The world is an oyster, I just started, I'm finna run it. I'm finna do everything. I'm finna touch every level and everything, you know what I mean? I don't wanna burn out, I wanna be forever, eternal, you know what I'm sayin? Besides that, we just pushin forward.)

[Verse 2: J-Formz]
A lot of great rappers died at the age of 25
In the middle of they prime, right before they got to shine
So I wonder how much longer am I allowed to rhyme?
And a little at a time, shit's fuckin with my mind
Yeah, it's fuckin with my mind...
I put money away for whenever I get killed
I don't want the only thing that's left to be a bill
And that's how I feel, I don't care what you think
Cause you ain't bein real when you share what you think
So I don't give a fuck, I'm on a whole nother level
Where you're stuck, talkin 'bout how you holdin the metal
I pour my heart on the paper, but it's still so hard
I wonder if I gotta die for me to get that far
So while I'm here, I'mma do what the next man can't
Cause when I'm gone, I ain't tryin to let anyone forget
Nah, I ain't tryin to let anyone forget

[Chorus: Elton John - Blessed sample, (Tupac sample)]
I know, you're still just a dream
(I wanna be here forever. When I'm gone, I want my name to be here. So to do that, I gotta do more than just the average man would do.)
I need you, before I'm too old
(I gotta set a mark that can't nobody, um, touch. And then, when I set that mark, I'mma make it, I'mma make it happen. And I guarantee you it's gonna happen. I hope I could do that. I thank you everybody for supporting me. Rappin is all we really got now.)

[Verse 3: J-Formz]
I didn't cause this shit, I deal with it too
I go through the same bullshit as you
If not, then it's worse, believe me, it's true
Like my fans is my therapists, I vent through you (thank you)
Yeah, I vent through you...
I feel the same way you do, that's why I got respect
If it wasn't for the fans, then, I probably would've left
I don't vibe and dance
I like real music (why?) shit, I guess I'd rather cry than laugh
I don't know, all I'm sayin is it's different now
How's it music when no one even listens now?
Everybody got a kid, but nobody want a baby
I don't know, but I think the whole world goin crazy
I keep speakin the truth, weather you hear or not
Cause that day is gonna come, weather I'm here, or not
Shit, weather I'm here, or not...

[Chorus: Elton John - Blessed sample, (Tupac sample)]
I know, you're still just a dream
(All these little kids dying, the world is just bugged out, man. It's not like it was way before, you know, as we remember it.)
I need you, before I'm too old
(And that's the type of thing that makes us act this way, cause all we tryin to do is make a livin, and when you stop us from makin a livin, what do we have left but our survival skills? Dag, I mean, don't take that away. And the only reason we talk harshly, is cause we livin harshly right now. When we all start livin better, we'll all start talkin better. Ya'll know how bad it is out there, you watch the news like I watch the news.)

[Outro: Tupac sample, (J-Formz)]
Even probably people older than me remember it different. Like more quieter and calmer. I remember it like problems, but it wasn't as bad as it is now for like the younger generation. So we have to be more, um, compassionate
