Dreaming

I came a long way since back in the day

From a teenager trying to make it, rapping this way

Ever since I was a kid, I had something to say

Rocking Mic's was a dream, I didn't care about payI sacrificed late nights and going out with my friends

Just to stay home alone with my pad and my pen

Had my eyes on the prize and my mind on my goal

As I carved these rhymes out with my heart and my soulI didn't have a CD, all I had was a tape

On the dole, through my flow was my only escape

From a world where they didn't want to see me prevail

Don't wanna see me take it all, they'd rather see me fail

(It's like)I was down and out, struggling

Wondered, how I'm gonna make it through

I've got a dream, holding on, can't let go

'Cause I've got to make it come trueI've got a dream to make it big in New York

Gave up the drugs and alcohol, I didn't want to distort

My vision to be living life to the full

And I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for youYou picked me up every time that I fell

When I was going through hell, you told me I would prevail

You said, I had exactly what it took to be great

That I was young and in the future what a man I would makeIt's like you saw something in me I couldn't see

You said, I would succeed and be anything I wanted to be

I'm twenty three and I just want to be me, want to be free

Want to be everything I can beBut I don't have many choices, I can't afford to be wrong

So all I do is try to stay true to the words in my song

Just don't hesitate and wait too long

'Cause like a dream when you wake up it's gone

(It's gone)I was down and out, struggling

Wondered, how I'm gonna make it through

I've got a dream, holding on, can't let go

'Cause I've got to make it come trueIt was a sunny day and we were feeling high

Jamming this song underneath a baby blue sky

Thinking back in the time when we were so poor

Remember the kids used to laugh at the clothes we woreWe always knew one day things were gonna change

And from that day I was never gonna be the same

I went to sleep that night and dreamt I touched the sky

And ever since I've been trying to keep my dream aliveSo when you see the Scribe dropping the killer rhyme

Defining how I'm living mine, in this day and time

I'm working nine to five, slaving over beats

It's hard work living the dream, I hardly ever sleep

I'm in the rhythm deep just trying to do my thingIt's funny when you're shining, people hate to see the gleam

No matter what they say, keep on doing what you do

And don't give up 'cos only you can make the dream come trueI was down and out, struggling

Wondered, how I'm gonna make it through

I've got a dream, holding on, can't let go

'Cause I've got to make it come true
