Back in the day when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
And I don't wish I was kid again
I was a young nigga
With a hoop dream
13 almost 6 feet
Couldn't tell me
To the league I wasn't gone go
God's plan was a different thing
Should have seen cause at 16
All of my young G's
Really called me oracle
I realized
Basketball was only helping me escape My real life
All the pain and all the loss was Fucking up my insides
It's not the vibe
Nothing was the same when I saw Daphne's mama die
Damn
I Gave it up to focus on music
I Always had the gift but a nigga never Used it
Had my
Mama and my daddy looking at me Like I'm crazy
They ain't understand that the music Really saved me cause I
Could have been another nigga dying In the street
That's why I owe so fuckin much to Vertical and Weez
First niggas to tell me to my face that They believe
I'm more than just a ball player
I'm a fucking king

I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Demons was all in my head
Anxiety taking my breath
But I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Had to remember I'm blessed
And it's word to Willie Fred
I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Demons was all in my head
Anxiety taking my breath
But I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Had to remember I'm blessed
And it's word to Willie Fred
I had to dream
Said I had to dream
Had to learn how to dream
Again again again

Used to really want a Lambo
Me and pops racing up the Malibu Coast
Iron man whip
Body red
Rims gold
Shit ain't never gonna happen
Cause he really gone
I Had to learn to live for me
I'ma still get my Tony Stark House
On the beach
I'ma still get a bomb ass wife
With some seeds
Thank God I ain't kill that nigga
Thank you Fourtee
I had to change
This is what it feel like when you got a Life that's been full of pain
Middle of the night can't sleep
Cause your mind about to go insane
Head feeling like I'm Ghost Rider
But my name ain't Johnny Blaze
Now I'm breaking through the chains
Cause I
Could have been another nigga dying In the street
That's why I owe so fucking much to Vertical and Weez
First niggas to tell me to my face that They believe
I'm more than just a ball player
I'm a fucking king

I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Demons was all in my head
Anxiety taking my breath
But I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Had to remember I'm blessed
And it's word to Willie Fred
I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Demons was all in my head
Anxiety taking my breath
But I had to dream
After my vision was dead
Had to remember I'm blessed
And it's word to Willie Fred
I had to dream
Said I had to dream
Had to learn how to dream
Again again again

Yes
See I remember what it feels like
To not have anymore hope
To think that my life was literally over
But I had to dream
I had to dream
Had to learn to dream again
I'ma keep living Pop
Just like you told me
