Dreams Lyrics

One day when I’m older
Yeah when I grow up
[Ey yall]Just a young buck growing up living fast
18 years old know it all on the gas
Big dreams of being a superstar
Having nice things and
A pocket full of cash
Basketball, baseball, rapper, an actor whatever
Whatevers gunna make my life better if it last
Big house, nice cars, nice brawl
You know every kids dream as so it seems
I mean come on now people all around doing big things
Best friends getting rich
Neighbors turn athletes, clothing companies, million dollar factories
Actually everybody say it with me
If you really want to be you could be what you wanna be
That’s the life if it just gets tight
Work hard and you could be a role model

Let’s do it
[Chorus]One day when I’m older
[Imma buy a thousand houses and drive a thousand cars]Yeah when I grow up
[Imma play point guard for the NBA]One day when I’m older
[Imma fly a airplane and go around the world]Yeah when I grow up
Yeah you’ll see every kid has a dream
When I was just a young buck in the single digits
I had too many thoughts on life and how to live it
So many dreams and different things I wanted to be
But that’s what you’ll be young and freedom of dream
I remember I wanted to be a fireman
So I can help people out around the sirens
Next day played football between streets knots
Next day wake up imam be your next doc
Cram through the air and hold up the dirt
Keeping up playing if it didn’t even hurt
Riding home with my knee and elbow making blood
Know I wanna see moms imam get a lot of love
Never ever know what’s up in national news
Only thing you worry about is the school lunch menus
Eating all the places and being captain of the team
First ten years of life is a beautiful thing
[Chorus]
One day when I’m older
[Imma be a superstar so I can make a lot of money]Yeah when I grow up
[Imma player 3d base for the California Angles]One day when I’m older
[Imma sail around the world and do my own thing]Yeah when I grow up
You’ll see every kid has a dream
You see me making moves, and 1, and 2
3, 4’s never no time to sleep
Ricky and mommy living the dream caught now
(Kingspade)
That’s what its gunna be
I never know nothin’ else and
I never finished school but
I’m smarter then the average bigs and that’s boo boo
Dreams do come true
A living proof cuz I’m making money
Doing what I love to do
Dreams come true
Yeah dreams come true
Yeah you’ll see every kid has a dream
I said dreams come true
Dreams come true
Yeah you’ll see every kid has a dream
[Chorus]One day when I’m older
[Imma buy a thousand houses and drive a thousand cars]Yeah when I grow up
[Imma play point guard for the NBA]One day when I’m older
[Imma fly a airplane and go around the world]Yeah when I grow up
Yeah you’ll see every kid has a dream
One day when I’m older
[Imma be a superstar so I can make a lot of money]Yeah when I grow up
[Imma player 3d base for the California Angles]One day when I’m older
[Imma sail around the world and do my own thing]Yeah when I grow up
Yeah you’ll see every kid has a dream

Vashawn Mitchell

VaShawn Mitchell was born and raised in Chicago, IL. The city known as the birthplace of Gospel music quickly made its imprint on him. When he was barely a teenager, VaShawn became the assistant music director of St. Mark Baptist Church, working closely with nationally renowned choir leader Lonnie Hunter.

For nearly a decade he served as Minister of Music at Bishop Larry D. Trotter’s Sweet Holy Spirit Church, setting the musical tone both within the church walls and on the ministry’s top-selling recording projects. The youngest Minister of Music in that church’s history, he successfully merged the contemporary themes he composed with the traditional choir vibe that marked the church’s worship services.

Throughout the years, VaShawn’s artistic vision has grown, shaping him into a mature worship leader and a recognized Gospel songwriter. His songs have been recorded by some of Gospel’s most celebrated artists, including Smokie Norful (“Just Can’t Stop”), Vanessa Bell Armstrong (“Help”), and Bishop Paul Morton (“Cry Your Last Tear”).

It is now his role as a music minister that brings him the greatest fulfillment. “I am most passionate about my church ministry,” he shares. “As ministers of music we birth new worshippers and new praisers on a weekly basis. A lot of that is not necessarily singing, but ministering the music that is being sung. “

His fervor for worship and praise can be felt throughout Triumphant; from the enthusiastic high praise opener and the powerful title track, to the deeply personal choir ballad “Nobody Greater” and the prophetic hymn “Be Fruitful.” More than a collection of hits, the project stands as a fully developed theme.

“Most of the time when I record, I conceptualize the project as a total piece,” VaShawn reveals. “With this album God gave me the concept and I started thinking about why we are triumphant people.”

Every song on the project is a reflection of that revelation, including the show-stopping, instant classic “His Blood Still Works,” which features the distinctive sound of former Witness lead vocalist Lisa Page Brooks. “Over the last season, as people have been struggling financially, it seems we’ve been losing our faith. Our faith was misplaced in resources and not in the Source,” says VaShawn. “I wanted to remind people that the blood never stopped working. It enables us to live above what we see.”

With a passion for worship, the heart of an encourager and the story of an overcomer, VaShawn Mitchell is truly an artist for this age.
