Lyrics
Lifelong Dream by Steven Nedeau
When I was three years old I stepped on the stage for the first time
The standing ovation led me running into this line of work
The worst thing I got was no backing
Try to stay in the heat and keep something to eat
Deep unique style like I swam the Nile
Of originality dodgin crocodiles
In the day respectability, Jeckl and Hyde
In the night a rap star know far and wide
Or phat, rollin off the hit track thick like that
Spit out the words to throw you back, knock off ya hat
Same birthday as Elvis and Mom used to swell this cranium
Bout how I might come off and rock the stadiums
Palladiums, night clubs no matter what the city be
High schools to colleges and everybody feelin me
Same old plain old, no telling what the game hold
Behold the bold plan start to unfold
And the road is hard to drive on, but I drive on
Looking everyday for a stage to get live on
The page, the shows, the gigs lined up
Here's the story of how this MC wind up
Trying to make the bankroll, I'm a fiend for the green
I keep on but you know it's not what it seems
So I got to keep moving, keep pushing my team
No defeat, keep reaching for my lifelong dream
Try to make the bankroll, be a fiend for the green
Keep on but you know it's not what it seems
And you got to keep moving, keep pushing your team
No defeat, keep reaching for your lifelong dream
And it's hard to make decisions, dividing my time
From sleep to work to family and memorizing lines
Write rhymes on the table, able to function properly
with bills on top of me, losing possibilities
Someday I wanna say put the cash right here
You wanna play you pay the piper with your blood and tears
Can't get the wheels spinnin cause I'm grinding the gears
Spend years in empty clubs the years'll disappear
And stretch monotonous and I'm stretchin to the top of this
Pile of wanna-be MC's in the populous
Build your career with skill, talent, and drive
And when the wolves move off you might still be alive
I sweat and hope the fan will spend his time and money
If not, I'm outta luck, back to the lab runnin
Make something that I can pimp to the industry
And make'em listen long enough so they be feelin me
So if you rollin in the same boat and missing the paddles
Even though you know you're good and you come off like the baddest
When you get onstage, adrenalin flow in ya veins
Grab the mic and take aim and put a dent in their brains
Don't let nothin stop you, never hold back
If it feels good, you real kid, reach for the stack
Make the play lists, the A lists, think you made it
Everybody got your song but how you know they played it
Begin again, Fade it in and let'em know you meant it
Like at the studio you bled your Soul to the condenser
You press on and stress is on ya back to make it
In the game of life it's high roll stakes, you can't fake it
See a chance, take it, time to make it or break it
Then you sweat, step to the lights and bare your soul naked
See I'm just a human here fighting to breathe
And I know you know the chorus, sing it for me
