Dreamin'
Lyrics
I'll live for my dreams
No matter how far it may seem
It's always in reach
And one day you'll see
The man that I'm destined to be
Living the dream
I’ll reach for my dreams, but I’m not sticking my hand out
Like a spoiled brat for a privileged demand now
I wanna take a big shot to get more than a little buzz (Yeah)
Lloyd Banks said it’s important to switch it up (Facts)
'Cause some peeps around me are too blind to see the vision (Uh)
It can feel like Truman Show how they’d be pretendin' (Yeah)
Garnering respect is more than I just need attention (Damn)
The life I want doesn’t come from easy wishin' (True)
I got ideas with the strength to move mountains (Uh)
I think like an old head, but I was born in 2000 (Yeah)
Dr. Dre and Premo is the 90’s shit I’m playing now (Uh)
'Cause they’re the guys with the innovative sounds
So how would I be famous if I had to sound alike
And be nothing special, that’s why I have a style of mine (True)
So I’d rather have something that lasts for the ages (Yeah)
My own jazz trap orchestrations
I'll live for my dreams
No matter how far it may seem
It's always in reach
And one day you'll see
The man that I'm destined to be
Living the dream
When I was 13, that’s when I started writing rhymes (Yeah)
People thought it wouldn’t last long like a Vine (Damn)
For Filipinos, a rap career seemed bizarre
Since most of us aren’t told to set our dreams for art (Facts)
But I don’t wanna be a mailman or nursin' (Yeah)
To me that’s the road to take to fail as a person (True)
'Cause money can’t buy happiness, I’d be in debt of misery
And work for approval sounded like depressing shit to me (Facts)
My lola told me to just pray for this shit
But my time is short and that would just waste more of it (Damn)
My lolo said to study as a doctor or business
Or pretty much anything that’s not as ambitious (Uh)
But I’m too stubborn to go and hang up the mic
'Cause I’m young and dumb, it’s what I’m gonna make of my life
My whole career isn’t predetermined, set up from races (Yeah)
Hip hop’s my culture too, it has me destined for greatness
I'll live for my dreams
No matter how far it may seem
It's always in reach
And one day you'll see
The man that I'm destined to be
Living the dream
I always wondered though if I should ever meet my idols (Uh)
'Cause I fear that they could switch up and be my rivals (Damn)
That’s really a dream if Eminem knew of me (Yeah)
Or if Tech N9ne wanna spit some shit to my beats (Yeah)
But I’ve met Big K.R.I.T. and I say he’s made it far (Yeah)
Even if my friends don’t view him in the same regard (Uh)
He was as genuine as on his own records though
That could be a taste of what’s to come, you never know (True)
I wanted to one day perform with Slaughterhouse (Uh)
But now it’s a fantasy, all I’m talking ‘bout
I don’t dream through the cousin of death, truth be told
Who knows what the future truly holds
Rushing in this cup of rum, letting my heart spill on this beat
'Cause I know Nipsey Hussle had a dream
Mac Miller had a dream, Juice WRLD had a dream
So I reached out to Mister Morgan and now
I'll live for my dreams
No matter how far it may seem
It's always in reach
And one day you'll see
The man that I'm destined to be
Living the dream
Living the dream baby
One day
I'll live for my dreams
No matter how far it may seem
It's always in reach
And one day you'll see
The man that I'm destined to be
Living the dream
I’ll reach for my dreams, but I’m not sticking my hand out
Like a spoiled brat for a privileged demand now
I wanna take a big shot to get more than a little buzz (Yeah)
