When the Ceiling Falls
Dreams over nightmares
Nightmares over dream
Looking in the mirror and guess what I seen
Young black kid whos chasing his dream
Momma coached me into a bigger thing
Now I realize I'm all I need
Striving for greatness, no in betweens
No free pass, I'm charging
Never in life, I never smoked weed
Never drinked, feeling the rhythm of this beat
Never been shot, I don't go in the streets
I got 3 people including me, balling like the Heat
Lack of support I do this for me
Love is what I need
Blacks folks keep R.I.P.
I ain't with that killing, people make me to be the villain
Like Lebron when he left Cleveland
I had fans until I made this decision
I just wanna know how yall feeling
Do it for my generation, especially the children
Saving my generation, it starts with me man
When the ceiling falls, who be the number 1 fan
Pressure into being great, I carry my own weight
Focused on this music, trying to do thangs
Messages, I want to display, please listen
Kids grow up, I'm they role model now
SD California, I want you proud
From the blacks all the way to the browns
Even white people, please stop the killing
I won't move, I won't even make a sound
Trying to save my town, until I'm 6 ft in the ground
When I die, who gon take the crown
30 years later still talking about me now and what I did for the town
Who gon represent, represent now?
Disappear in the shadows and never come out
Real recognize real, and I see that you not
Got a nigga been trapped in a box
Hating niggas want to see me flop
No suicide, but I contemplate a lot
My mind racing, just crashing and dashing
My mind blank, problems of the world, we need to erase
Please tell me what to say
A summary I say, I'm just trying to be great
And do anything that these other niggas can't
Nobody determines who I am, what I ain't
I do this for the people, give you a picture to paint
You could all judge me, put a rank on me
Top 5 in San Diego, just trust me
Nightmares over dream
Looking in the mirror and guess what I seen
Young black kid whos chasing his dream
Momma coached me into a bigger thing
Now I realize I'm all I need
Striving for greatness, no in betweens
No free pass, I'm charging
Never in life, I never smoked weed
Never drinked, feeling the rhythm of this beat
Never been shot, I don't go in the streets
I got 3 people including me, balling like the Heat
Lack of support I do this for me
