Song Lyrics
Verse #1
Started on this track, way back, but never thought I’d make it
Pain is over-rated, fated, to be illustrated
So to demonstrate it, the facts originated,
Inside the heart of a mind, addicted to rhyme, that’ll never be faded
See, seein ain’t believing, but reason the season needed
Feed it, like a stomach and read it until defeated
Would ya believe it, I succeeded?
Beat it, and now it’s more that I’m needin?
Feanin for readin like treasures or women, sh** , I’m a heathen! I’m breathin
Dreamin, while feadin off demons
gleamin the realist of feelins
As They, surface to meanings,
I mean I’m seein the end
as I be turnin the bend
Of desire, fires of love
burn inside of this man
Passion’s more than enough, to accomplish my plan
My Intellect sure helps, as I seek to expand
the limits, and the boarders, of all that I am
As a Rapper and a Poet with a Bachelor’s in Hand
Verse #2
Who’d have thought, who not, that I would go to college
Go to get that knowledge, polished, rivalin scholars
Spendin all them dollars, to rise up out the garbage
The steep end of the heap, deep, leaping from the trenches of Martyrs
Me, never thought I’d see it, sobeit that I’m not dreamin
See it, I’m in these classes, & I, still hardly believe it
But must concede it, In to the Realist
Chapter of my life, and into the illist, challenges, so fearless,
But Humility the dearest
Because, when it comes to the task,
alone is a mask, that’s worn in a dash,
the rash are reluctant to ask, for help in a smash
but how are they goona pass their classes
When they’re movin so fast, they can’t, hold onto their asses
the masses drownin , assignments are mountain
& he with the skill surpasses
Expectations, foresight insufficient to displace this
Boils down to relations, and who we orbit in these space ships
Cause this is a foreign land, for a man, who should be in prison
Not at the UW, doing the best that he can, to earn degrees,
Can you feel this?
Verse #3
I walked into school, cool, with one goal to find
Earn a Law Degree, complete, with an opened mind
Shatter the glass ceiling, pealing, the feelings denied
Breaking the cycle, inventing the Michael, and vetting out all of the lies
Free, or so I thought, the plot, coined me enemy
I’m black, and I rap, that there, the center piece
Of their argument, I must be ignorant, try’n to be
& try’n to see, more than was destined to me, more than being a thug in the streets
But why, supply the American Dream
If the plan was to hold it from me
But they don’t understand that I walk with a team
Composed of friends and family
Who will never see me fail
cuz I fight for them like they fight for me
and together, we trudge this hell
So, no I won’t be giving up
Renaissance ain’t had enough
Graduating Valedictorian, just the beginning of
My struggle to become a lawyer
at the UW
A dream once impossible
A crude bluff
Chorus:
Dreams, are how it all begins
Dreams, are what define the ends
Dreams, are not just latent plans
Dreams, are what define the man
