Dreamed Of

This is a life that I never dreamed of
This is a life that I never
This is a life that I never dreamed of
And if you feel the same, get your scream up

Take no notice, take the flow and
It's just poetry
I took off my mask with no facade
This is who I'm meant to be
Working to the bone, all day, all night
Was no big deal to me
And I'm never stopping till my sound's on
All the blocks and streets

Every scar and bruise
A sign of the battles that I had to choose
Took the longest path
Hypotenuse
Looking back when I
Tied the noose
How was I confused?
When I had to choose
From my head and my heart
I found the clues
Gave up all the lies
And my excuse
You gave me the power
To do what I had to do
And that's thanks to you

This is a life that I never dreamed of
This is a life that I never
This is a life that I never dreamed of
And if you feel the same, get your scream up

From the past I rise
No disguise
Stars on my soul
Stories in my eyes
I'm self defined
They're just on their own
Here's what you gotta do
To get to me
Tell your own fairy tale
Authenticity
In this city, publicity
Reigns like a king
Who doesn't get to be

His own man
If I'm Van Gogh,
You're Gauguin
We paint our own skies
Live our own lives
And I've got my own plans
From the doubt
I find my rage
Throw it on a page
With the pen in my hand
So it's the beat I command
And you're all part of my band
Hey

This is a life that I never dreamed of
This is a life that I never
This is a life that I never dreamed of
And if you feel the same, get your scream up

Did the greats
Know who they were meant to be?
Did they see their legacy?
Did they feel their destiny?
Or was it all a lie?
Was it all a lie?
