Street Dreamer
[INTRO]
Verse 1 :
Take you back to ninety two, when these ends were comin loose,
Cuz trouble in my family was never sumthin new,
Mom and Dad were fightin, used to fight till it was morn,
Even heard them fightin on the day that their kid was born,
Thats me, takin a backseat in that cradle, its fatal,
No fable when your mom sayin that "only God can save you,"
No angels in my life, my moms left in ninety five,
Workin a nine to five, no mother, but still I'm alive,
Comin from a broken home, closin the open doors,
Hopeless yo, and by this time, I'm only four,
I never was poor, but no, I was'nt ever rich,
I never did drugs, but yea, I was ballin with a click,
My dad was always out, I lived in my grandma's house,
I loved my dad, but never saw that man around,
The plan is out, at times, I started givin up,
This shit is tough, but hell, man I just don't live enough,
HOOK :
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I just keep on dreamin, Imma touch the sky,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
So y'all can keep on waitin, I'll be rushin by,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I can't never give up till I reach my grave,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I don't need this place, I need some breathin space,
Verse 2 :
Just a kid before, became an artist after,
I heard whole block keep bumpin Marshall Mathers,
Went down to the court, people wuz bumpin biggie,
Pac was an influence to anybody runnin with me,
I started to dream big, cuz my hours is set,
All I wanted in this world was money, power, respect,
And I'm pickin up a pen, and I'm scribblin on a pad,
No livin in the past, I just give it all I have,
Sometimes I can't take it, I can feel my hand achin ,
Through these damn pages, I can see my chance waitin,
Just need a mic, a beat, and the right to speak,
I light the weed, and give you all the fight you need,
Every night I sleep, but I always wake up screamin,
I was told in this world, there's no place for dreamin,
But I ain't leavin this place, without makin a mark,
And Playin a part, my dream ain't gonna stay in the dark,
HOOK :
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I just keep on dreamin, Imma touch the sky,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
So y'all can keep on waitin, I'll be rushin by,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I can't never give up till I reach my grave,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I don't need this place, I need some breathin space,
Verse 3 :
About twelve years old when I got into rap,
Now four years later, and I'm just recordin this track,
Sixteen years of my life, and I seen brighter days,
Cuz whether its night or day, I'm just workin like a slave,
Like the dice today, I just keep on rollin,
On the streets with no friends, on beats with no ends,
With dreams, I'm hopin, I got a chance in hell,
Cuz I'm kickin in the door, I never rang the bell,
The only school we know, was in the studio,
Dreamin bout a 'gangsta's paradise' like Coolio,
So here we go, man, I be speakin the truth,
Bring the heat in the booth, put the beat in a loop,
I'm leavin some proof, that my life ain't just sailin by,
That I can try and fail but I'll never ever fail to try,
Every moment I struggle just to hold my dreams together,
But Imma dream till the end, and by that I mean forever,
HOOK :
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I just keep on dreamin, Imma touch the sky,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
So y'all can keep on waitin, I'll be rushin by,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I can't never give up till I reach my grave,
[Dream On, Dream On] (Fades out)
I don't need this place, I need some breathin space,
