Killer Mike - Follow Your Dreams Lyrics

The world fears a person with a dream
Because to have a dream gives you the
Ambition to wanna fulfill wanna that dream
And if you live your life fulling that dream
You're gonna glow man because
There’s a magnificence
And a moment that comes with
Fulfilling you dream that you can't achieve
Being a part of someone else's

Follow your dreams no matter
What people may say
They gon' talk, they gon' front
They gon' hate
At the end of the day it's between you
And God cause you know what it takes

All my dreams get knocked right back down
Two steps forward three steps back round
They keep pulling, I'm pushing, I'm shoving
They showing no love - God
I need you right now

You got famous, fell off, came back up
Damn that's insane
The same as you must be to be in this game
In this game you suffer, hit strangers
Like Usain you bolt towards your dream
But haters speak disdain
Know my name and your name
But one thing's for sure man
Success is a sickness and
There ain't no cure, man
Cure all is work hard and
Don't take no tours off
And even on off days you
Can't act like you're off
The payoff is tenfold in dollars and euros
Pitfalls of vanity, pride, and your ego
Just let go and live up
To your full potential
What they say is hearsay
It's inconsequential
But naysayers say no, but they are so simple
That they judge appearance and
Can't touch the mental
They are sheep, they follow shepherds and man
I'm Malcolm, I'm Martin I follow my plan

Follow your dreams no matter
What people may say
They gon' talk, they gon' front
They gon' hate
At the end of the day it's between you
And God cause you know what it takes

All my dreams get knocked right back down
Two steps forward three steps back round
They keep pulling, I'm pushing, I'm shoving
They showing no love - God
I need you right now

Do it for family, but they don't believe
That dreams that you have
Can even be achieved get ready young sailor
Here's rough on these seas
Can't let no doubt or self-pity drown me
It's design when you sign
And the vultures appear
And if you should succeed
Then it's worse by the year
But the worse curse is failure
It kills by the day
Watch your dreams and ambitions
As they fade away
See, my curse is I'll verse
In these verses I verse
Will still be overlooked like
A body in hearse
But this Lazarus rap and this is my rebirth
This is no pen, no paper
Just my dream on verse
The boot lady told me she
Dreamed I was cursed told her
If you can't tell I returned to Earth
Returned to the dirt, returned to the essence
Cause no weapon formed that
Gives me a succession

Follow your dreams no matter
What people may say
They gon' talk, they gon' front
They gon' hate
At the end of the day it's between you
And God cause you know what it takes

All my dreams get knocked right back down
Two steps forward three steps back round
They keep pulling, I'm pushing, I'm shoving
They showing no love - God
I need you right now

I hope you've learned about the business
Of chasing your dreams out there
I hope you're chasing your
Dreams 'till you're exhausted
'till your feet
Hurt, 'till your bones ache, and
'till you get it
You're hoping that you won't let it go
I want this to be more
Than good music to you
I hope it's inspiration for you
Chad Butler told me a few years
Back, "fight for your dream, Michael
Like a drowning man fightin' for air"

Follow your dreams no matter
What people may say
They gon' talk, they gon' front
They gon' hate
At the end of the day it's between you
And God cause you know what it takes

All my dreams get knocked right back down
Two steps forward three steps back round
They keep pulling, I'm pushing, I'm shoving
They showing no love - God
I need you right now
