Lyrics
[verse 1]
layin' in my casket, last suit on
homies at the funeral tellin' my girl its time to move on
rivers of tears fall from those who survivied me
silent cheers from those who surprised me, you got me
so i apologize to all the fans who walked behind,
and thought that'd i would change the game wit bars and rhymes, i thought i could!
but another man had other plans, and "step aside" was his demand
and thats exactly what i did, please understand, i thought you would
so with this song i let go of the pad and pen
and promise them i'll never write another bar again
maybe i'll go back to school, start a new career plan
maybe i'll call up the ex, tell her gimme one more chance
maybe we'll have one more dance, maybe all's forgiven
maybe i'll get out this casket, maybe i'll change my decisions
maybe i'll take this headshot so we both keep bleedin'
or we can both die tonight so we both keep dreamin'
[hook]
if you think that i'm gon stop (keep dreamin)
i bet you wish that i give up (keep dreamin)
you can pray to the skies, every day, every night
that's everything gon' be alright (keep dreamin)
long as i stand tall (keep dreamin)
long as i stand tall (keep dreamin)
betcha wanna get my spot but its lonely at top
aint enough room for us all so (keep dreamin)
[hook]
[verse 2]
small damage aint a thing, they hassle but i cant complain
they always there to watch me ball like jack at the laker games
i could care less about a sale or opinion
i prevailed if my visions, exhaled from my writtens
on some scale make a difference, small or large
cuz you can't see the constellation if you dont see all the stars
they'll never try to jump the hurdle if i dont set the bar
i set it high for what you hear when you hear "established dons"!
honestly i'd rather have music suck and see better days
than lash out flames because im dealin wit this pain
they rather see me turn to liquor, or needles to the vains
or put me in a padded room like "i think that's he's insane"
maybe the answer lay ... at the bottom of this bottle
maybe it'd be a lot easier if i dont wake up tomorrow
maybe i'll take these shots and we can both keep drinkin'
and we pass out forever, so we both keep dreamin' cuz
[hook]
[verse 3]
the only things promised in life are death, taxes,
females lie, jealousy kills, and i'll never quit
so sleep tight tonight, wit dreams of my misfortune
family mournin', tears waay past rainin, they stormin
... hence i lay fifty two bars to inform 'em
they'll awaken to nightmares in the mornin (i'm still here)
hands folded, head down, like why did God ignore 'em?
because He don't like ugly and, that's unfortunate
i stand here as a portrait of everything that they wanted
as they look in the mirror and only see shortcomings
as he realize he hates himself more than he hates me
now its hard to stay sleep, i stand tall, he can't dream
and he thinks, maybe NT ain't bad after all
maybe i'll have his back, help him profit, cheer him on
as i help him up i tell him that its hard to believe him
so why don't you keep hatin and we both keep dreamin
