Follow My Dreams

Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe
What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need
I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be
Looking for the right time to follow my dreams
Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go
Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it
No more losing sight of these visions I see
Searching for the right time to follow my dreams
Yeah I been digging out my own ditch
Shooting at my own risk
Praying that the target don't start moving so I don't miss
It's more to this game than simply saying you bored of it
You gotta feel some pain, before you say that you sure to this
But I got bills to pay, and I work, still barely affording it
401k can wait, man I'm tryna live now before that shit
20 years of life to reap all the fruits that I sowed in it
When brodie died
That there was the show of proof just how short it is
But how can I complain, when my family going through shortages
Back home in Africa, land of the richest poor in this world
Who split and drew the borders and who's in control of it?
The needy vs the prejudiced, the balanced vs the chavuanist
Can't help but wonder if I had all that
Extraordinary power in my hands, would I choose to let go of it?
End of the road I'm just a human at heart
Stuck on this path doing what I gotta do to get by
Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe
What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need
I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be
Looking for the right time to follow my dreams
Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go
Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it
No more losing sight of these visions I see
Searching for the right time to follow my dreams
Planning this life out
Sitting with mine while I scribble these flows of gold
I've been filling my notes with goals
Feel like for years I was looking for confirmation
Was fiending to know my role, now I'm getting to know my soul
Them late nights, early mornings in college recording
Putting in them hours knew for certain it's all gon be worth it
Can't no degree decide for me what's my ultimate purpose
I'ma always be searching, I'ma always be learning
I ended up, looking round me to check if I measured up
A thin line tween I'm slacking and thinking I've done enough
Too complacent, gotta leave, it's a feeling that's in my gut
My momma said, boy don't worry just drink some this 7up
But no, I gotta go, you know this life don't come with handouts
In spite of me tracing and drawing and shading these plans out, I
Could sit around just hoping for better luck
Or pull my head up out the ground, put one foot in front of the next
And step it up
I've said enough

Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe
What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need
I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be
Looking for the right time to follow my dreams
Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go
Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it
No more losing sight of these visions I see
Searching for the right time to follow my dreams
