Keep the Dream Alive

Lets suppose that you were able every night
To dream any dream you wanted to dream

Uh
Yeah
Uh
Yeah

I'm so sleepy recording this
I'm trying to cheer myself up

Yeah
I gotta keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive Keep the dream
I gotta keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive Keep the dream
I gotta keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive Keep the dream
I gotta keep the dream alive

When I finished my first record couldn't wait for y'all to hear it
The flow cadence the way I delivered each lyric
Spending every minute on my craft and then
I began losing friends had no time to kick it
Swore I'd get rich once negus listen & didn't
Thought about quiting can't eat or pay rent when
I invested chicken in this business
& haven't made a cent sense
The process to progress never ending
Mad respect has yet to come
Will it ever
Mass effect from low income Don't make it better
Can't give someone special what they want & need
Everything I got to give go towards your dream
Debating what I need versus what I want
Til this became what I need not just something I want
Put my life on the line for my life line
Bet on me against the odds
Even if it take a life time til I die
I gotta try to keep the dream alive

I gotta keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive Keep the dream
I gotta keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive Keep the dream
I gotta keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive Keep the dream
I gotta keep the dream alive

So it's open mic night
At a spot I like
With vocalist drinks & poetry
But no rappers in sight I went up
Unprepared aware of everyone there
Shared half a verse my other half just wasn't here
I Ain't talking affair forgot the lyrics while they stare
Stuttering yeah with a philling I couldn't bare
Embarrassed til someone there said that half verse
Was music to they ears

Right then & there I went from a nightmare
To day dreaming of fans hands in the air
And my song they singing
Dreaming of my dream car park in the garage
Dream girl in the passenger every time I drive
From having no squad to a team that needs me
From this way too hard to I'm glad it ain't easy
Grind for those beside me my team I Keep close
Their the few who chose to believe in my dream

Through God I know I should For Sho
Worry less & not more & Aim For My Dream

When One Door Close, I'm Through The Window Of Opportunity Yo
A Dream Without Goals Is Just a Dream

Forever my effort is never gon ever give up or be a quitter
Never forgetting a L is a lesson because it'll set up my dream

I'm focused on getting better through every error
Every mess up a end of era because the person I need to become
Has a dream
