Dreaming (feat. Lace Payne & MrMinus)

I have grown up
So much
But I remember
How it felt then
Hell bent
On one agenda
Never thought twice
Off white
Hat and a hoodie
On the front page
Fuck grades
Laughing look at me
Biggie bumpin
Thumbprints
On all of my CDs
Label meetings
Squeeze skin
Was it all a dream
Met my idols
Time flew
Name it I've done it
Before you guys
Corporatized
Saying one hundred
Summer songs play
Long days
Caught in the middle
Burning both ends
Road bends
Causing a ripple
I'm a pistol
Pitbull
If ya corner me
Forced to change course
Fame whores
Play the lottery
Dream on too long
Cool song
Man, hand in the rent
If that's success
I guess
I can't stand the scent
In a cold sweat
Old vets
Don't even have dreams
We have regrets
Suppressed
Demons and bad knees
But I'm grateful
Fate pulled
In this direction
I feel lighter
Like a
Sinner's confession
When my dream died
She lied
She was the wrong one
Gun to my head
Gut check
Free in the long run
Waking up

I can still smell the refer
Parliament pushing through my dad's speakers
My momma Tida
Breaking up his weed on my trapper keeper
Reflegative life was numbing like a sedative
Misguided my outlook
It's nothing like they said it is
My art scotch taped at the front of the fridge
I was one of them kids
Daydreaming how I wanted to live
Abandoned
Little man had the run of crib
Pops left my momma here
But she got no fucks to give
I did the opposite
I told y'all on dig deep
I'll never paper rock scissor the way that my kids eat
My kids have never felt
Or seen the shit that I seen
On God
I broke the cycle just to keep it a bean
Wouldn't change a thing
We're measured by the pressure we're applying
We rise and rise again
Until lambs become lions
Eyes on the horizon
Reminding you I'm titan
Igniting and magnifying
My mind gaining alignment

Yo it don't matter what they're saying
Just the truth that you believe
Could see it like a movie
While they're telling you they're dreams
Yo you've seen it playing out
While they keep saying you should sleep
But there's only one problem though
I'm never loosing steam
I'm just fucking tired
From all the moves I got to make
To keep on seeing green
Rooted in the faith
That things could break and change my scenery
Blurred between the lines
Of where I've been and what this means to me
To keep on chasing dreams or settle down
But don't quit easily
It's hard but I ain't walking from this road
It's everything I know
True effort never low
And with every record sold
I used to picture when we'd blow
But it's funny how that changes
Through the phases when you've grown
Man I've lived a thousand lives
But only care about 4
My children and my wife
And I don't fuck with much more
So no matter whats in store
I'm a keep the bar set
Where it's been
So a win for me is never far fetched
