Pipe Dream

Yeah, they said this shit was just a pipe dream
Nothing but a silly pipe dream
Nothing but a silly pipe dream
Well, as unlikely as it might be, I might be up
They said this shit was just a pipe dream
Nothing but a silly pipe dream
I guess this shit is just a pipe dream
Still as unlikely as it might be

I've been holding on so long it just might burst
Steam coming out my verse, green colors fill my mind
She talking 'bout a purse
We ain't talking 'bout a fucking thing, if it ain't 'bout work
Didn't make it all this way so they can tell me wait my turn
Lift my head like I got first
Been through hell, can't hide my burns anymore
I don't know if they hurt me less or I'm more patient than before
Know that time all I have left, it ain't no waste or a reward (Hell nah)
Took some Ls, my dubs gon' always pay me back in double

I recollect when this beard was barely a half a stubble
Me, Zay and Dom in the Honda, lending our hearts to Trouble
By Cole, I played the latest demo on my phone
They tell me, "Bro, you not that far from being on his level"
A decade later I'm touching stages with living legends
And making waves like the fuckin' Navy by skipping pebbles
They writing columns 'bout me, asking how I keep momentum
Actually, I tell 'em what they told me

That this shit was just a pipe dream
Nothing but a silly pipe dream
They said this shit was just a pipe dream
Well, as unlikely as it might be, I might be up
They said this shit was just a pipe dream
Nothing but a silly pipe dream
I guess this shit is just a pipe dream
Still as unlikely as it might be, I might be up
Nigga, what?

Charge it to the grind and double down
Even though the journey tend to get uncomfortable
One regret I'll never have is never trying
Behind the curtains, put the work in way before they come around
Only moment is the one you live in now
Trust your steps and let the the road become the mountain top

The minute you connect the profit loss to how you act is the minute you crack the process
And get off your back to get in your bag and split the shit with bosses
But some don't play they cards and end up making jack
Others end up chasing way too far and never make it back
Y'all just so entitled nowadays we gotta face the facts
'Cause they'll drag you down just to stay attached
Try they best to be involved, come up with these different parts
Don't go tryna lead 'em all to water, end up getting lost yourself
'Cause I don't got no time for no thirsty muhfuckas
And we ain't out here tryna convince nobody to love us

Trust, seen enough niggas bluffin' to call your bluff
You ain't come from out this soil with me, get left in the dust
I ain't just ripping lines off these pages to get a rush
I'm tryna stay this high forever, I'm never gon' need to duck nothin'
And progress the only needed result
I fell in love with the pressure
I'm guessing I'm built for what they call a pipe dream

Nothing but a silly pipe dream
I guess this shit was just a pipe dream
Well, as unlikely as it might be, I might be up
They said this shit was just a pipe dream
Nothing but a silly
I guess this shit is just a pipe dream
Still as unlikely as it might be, I might be up
Nigga, what?
