Dreams are Real (feat. G.VII)

Here I am still chasing a dream, a dream that never paid the bills
But when I'm behind the mic, I love the way it feels
I love to dream cause when I wake, reality kills
I stay asleep cause to me, here I am still
Chasing a dream, a dream that never paid the bills
But when I'm behind the mic, I love the way it feels
I love to dream cause when I wake, reality kills
I stay asleep cause to me, my dreams are real

I had a dream last night that my memories came true
Once upon a time we fell off but now we came through
They said we'd never make it, not too many stayed true
But we took em for a trip, new generation came new
They saw no lies, when we ride up all night, feel like we blew
Black and red in the ride, took flight with the crew
Got harder, searched the meaning of life with cartoon
Then Unbreakable told us to keep going, do what it do
Since junior high, I've wanted to do this, it's been 11 years
I still rip it to the fullest, I let out all my fears
I'm told my songs are the coolest from my fans and my peers
They don't know that's why I choose it through the blood, sweat and tears
And I ain't getting money from it, still ain't getting fame
But I love when I'm on stage, out of town they know my name
Sometimes I wonder should I keep going and should I try
Or should it remain a memory and let the dream die

Chasing a dream, a dream that never paid the bills
But when I'm behind the mic, I love the way it feels
I love to dream cause when I wake, reality kills
I stay asleep cause to me, here I am still
Chasing a dream, a dream that never paid the bills
But when I'm behind the mic, I love the way it feels
I love to dream cause when I wake, reality kills
I stay asleep cause to me, my dreams are real

Through streets I walk alone and my life ain't nothing warm
Got ambitions in my bag, know my mission ain't to rap
But for you to understand that I'm voking with a plan
Now I'm up all night with a pen in my hand
At last never showed the right track
Took a pen and began writing, mind and heart were always fighting
It wasn't too exciting, so I took a mic and spit a song
People liked it, but didn't last long
They said to music, Gabriel don't belong
Thick skin, thin wallet, it was helpful all along
Lived my play with words are simple, just saying what I feel
I'm hoping that you hear me and praying that you heal
Here I am still, where I'm at now
My Lord has told me dream big and he will go beyond that
He said to dream now and go beyond rap
My son dream big and go beyond that

Chasing a dream, a dream that never paid the bills
But when I'm behind the mic, I love the way it feels
I love to dream cause when I wake, reality kills
I stay asleep cause to me, here I am still
Chasing a dream, a dream that never paid the bills
But when I'm behind the mic, I love the way it feels
I love to dream cause when I wake, reality kills
I stay asleep cause to me, my dreams are real
