Tight lyrics, great message.
Just rappin'
Just a guy who likes to make music.
Story behind the song
Kinda Religious...i dont even like church that much, but one day i was at church, and this guy stood up and was like 'i feel like God is telling someone in here to not give up on their dreams.' i just took that for myself, because i so have music dreams, and the experience led to this song.
Lyrics
Intro...
my mindset boggled by prominent self confidence
ambition clouding my personal common sense
but time invents a new opportunity
to write a rhyme that vents emotions and notions of the community
its rude to me to say that i cant hold my own
or it was until i knew defeat, i've grown, i know
it was unexpected, no way i couldnt accept it
not like i didnt want to, it was nothin questioned
its no replacin facin the facts
he got up in fronta the congregation and said that he had something to say son
he did unleash; what a message! I thought he was speakin to me
he said 'dont give up and keep at your dreams'
and he said crawl out the pit, no matter how deep it seems'
hook:
you gave me the green light, said it was alright
although it always seemed right, i never knew it
you gave me the green light said it was alright
told me follow my dreams, right? thats what i'm doin
