Dream Street

Time is of the essence, essential to go for mine
Mind full of the lessons, it lessens the bogus rhymes
Called history, must remain grounded through trickery
Lose my footing, then the slope is bound to be slippery
A poet shrouded in mystery, leave you posers hazy
Who'd have known from the concrete would be grown a daisy?
The souls of many been atrocious late-lee
Still I walk while focused daily, hat low like the old Jay-Z
Can't let some hate take over, my soul will rot away
I'm amazed I still manage with my bottled rage
I been a savage since my toddler days, ya know
Don't want them demons shown, so leave havoc out my way
The tides turning, the need to succeed been high-ly urgent
Used to be sheepish, now I speak my views without determent
Becoming unconcerned with who it provokes
They claim my heart turned cold, Nah, part of the growth

This God's plan, it is beyond mine
Nothing y'all can do that will stop my shine
Any plots or moves will never rock my grind
Don't care if it's against the world, I will not decline
I'll be everything you say I am, will never give a damn
Never rest until the planet's in my hand
So here I stand, sticking to God's plan
On the chase for dreams til the day I see the promised land

South Coast, until death I'll live that
Though Im rarely home, know I won't forget to give back
Altruism scarce most concerned to get some quick stacks
In a era where these rappers sharing bars like a Kit-Kat
Looking for the light in these times, the future's pitch black
Government moving sketchy, be prepared for the big draft
Y'all won't get that, the picture's too big to skim
Nation's grim, even without Orange Invader Zim
Mindset's sink or swim, Life's obviously deep
It pays to be boss, just know that cost is steep
When I leave, whether retire or deceased
I'll inspire and make believers out of the cyphers I release
Geez dear God, a man can dream
Sheesh I'm a stay vibrant til I'm silenced by a beam, you decide what I mean
I was born to thrive and rise, it's in my genes
Blood of a slave, soul of God, heart of a king

This God's plan, it is beyond mine
Nothing y'all can do that will stop my shine
Any plots or moves will never rock my grind
Don't care if it's against the world, I will not decline
I'll be everything you say I am, will never give a damn
Never rest until the planet's in my hand
So here I stand, sticking to God's plan
On the chase for dreams til the day I see the promised land
