City of Dreams

This is me, still the same
R&B's cracking so I play the game
South Main, 6th street, first show
I was nervous as shit but you know how it goes
Flight at 6 in the morning, Ice-T
I nearly missed the plane, wonder where I might be
Took a ride to Melrose just to explore
Played a song for my driver had to export
Whole day to calm down, it ain't much
Cuz now it's time to perform and get a great touch
Of the night I fantasized for my whole life
Nothing can prepare you for that moment right
10 minutes they were screaming right back at me
The mic in my hand speeding past reality
This is everything that I was ever waiting for
So I promise that I'm so for sure

I'm just going to the city of dreams
When you see me girl, will you scream
Baby, it's not the way it seems
I'm just following my dreams, so, ay
When you see me in the city of dreams
I'm not gonna run away from you
I'm just tryna follow my heart
To the city of dreams

I didn't wanna leave the stage
Real love from the fans it left me amazed
We was only right there on the third floor
Then what it's feeling like the top of the world for
Just appreciate the love every single time
Too many people miss the moment until it's gone
I shed a tear just for Nip keeping it alive
I'm in his city for this Marathon I'm going on
I keep having doubts, of what it's all about
The mirror in the bathroom shattered all around
I'm picking pieces off the floor, at the same time
It's like I'm lifting up myself for the 8th time
Cuz when I'm standing on that stage what they don't see
Is the reflection of the pain staring back at me
Incredibly fluttering in those gleaming eyes
And in that moment is when I realize
The real lies told to me in those real eyes
Is all the bullshit these other rappers glorify
And why I break myself honestly to build connections
With the fans, this is my confession

I'm just going to the city of dreams
When you see me girl, will you scream
Baby, it's not the way it seems
I'm just following my dreams, so, ay
When you see me in the city of dreams
I'm not gonna run away from you
I'm just tryna follow my heart
To the city of dreams

I'm just going to the city of dreams (Ay, ay, yeah)
When you see me girl, will you scream (Hey, yeah, yeah)
Baby, it's not the way it seems (Yeah)
I'm just following my dreams, so, ay
When you see me in the city of dreams (Oh-oh)
I'm not gonna run away from you (Yeah)
I'm just tryna follow my heart (Oh, yeah)
To the city of dreams

That's where you'll find me one day, yeah
Los Angeles, the city of dreams
I-5, south bound, one way, ay ay
Los Angeles, it's my city of dreams
