Beautiful Dreamer

Close your eyes and just vibe out for a second
That's right
Remember this when we reminisce
Uh, when we reminisce
Yeah

I remember, the good old days
Screaming my beliefs like I was Billy Mays
Breathing fresh air, all my oxi-clean
Wanted to be the things I'd see up on the movie screen
Fat crib with a view, big boss
Big crew, interviews in the source
Airborne platform, use my voice
If you can have it all, don't need to make a choice
I was sipping grape juice from a wine glass
Felt like I was living in my own past
So exclusive, guess I was a little bougie
In my head, I was prepping for the future
I just wanted to floss, get my dental up
You would think I had Voss in my sippy cup
Those days are long gone, but I carry on
Pinkies up sipping Cabernet Sauvignon

Beautiful dreamer, mmm
Beautiful dreamer, mmhm
Oh, beautiful dreamer

Dear Timmy, I really wish I had it in me
To walk across the stage and maybe hit a little shimmy
The Hokie nation steady faking, really ain't so friendly
I feel so silly looking at me like y'all out to get me
Can I get a few school audibles
Maybe you can change the rules
I need that for my partners too
Can I get some space, just to make my case
I could really use some grace, maybe just a parking space
Now, I just need a few more bands
So I can take care of my people, yes I'd be that man
Let the congregation say amen
It's a wrap if I attack you with the mic in my hand
No I ain't perfect, but i'm worth it
Yes, I'm certain I've been hurtin'
But I'm workin' and I've barely scratched the surface
I use the words in every verse as ammunition
Locked and loaded I'm devoted to the game and my ambition

Run, black boy, run
Until you learn to fly
Spread your wings in a world unseen
And soar through the sky
Run, black boy, run
Don't let them ask you why
Close your eyes and focus on your dreams
Until they come to light

Beautiful dreamer, mmm
Beautiful dreamer, mmhm
Oh, beautiful dreamer
