The Underachievers, Liza Owen - Nightmares & Dreams Lyrics

Yet you're not around when I want (I want)
Guess that's the thing about where I'm from (I'm from)
Could have it all, it's never enough, enough
My nightmares and my dreams fall in love

This for my generation striving just pushing to grind
And all the people that be hustling nine-to-five
And all the kids that's motivated to keep a smile
And all my niggas that's been searching, just give it some time
I was in a dark place, people floating all around my city
Tryna put the poison in me, make a nigga feel defeated
Got me staying to myself, like everybody tryna kill me
But I rise above the hate, like smoke is leaving from a chimney
What a cold world, focused on the something you ain't living
Doing shit for other people make a nigga' heart glisten
I don't dwell on the past, or the future, just the present
If you live inside the moment, you could learn from every second
Keep that negative shit on the other side
My niggas open doors letting more people inside
I make 'em get involved
Learn to believe in ya life
The coast is taking off, pushing to get through the fire
'Cause UA be twisting that lie-lie-lie, and PE be smoking that la-la-la
And FZ always keeping that la-la-la, it's the coast baby sing a lullaby
Well c'mon

Yet you're not around when I want (I want)
Guess that's the thing about where I'm from
Could have it all, it's never enough, enough
My nightmares and my dreams fall in love

Had to get it how I live it, that's the way it's taught
Some might try to pay you like a scrimmage gotta stay sharp
Often try to praise god, hoping that the pain stop
That be when I notice ain't no one gon' save the day dog
All you got is you
Don't let your presence go to waste
You complain like everyday, but take no steps and shit won't change
I confess I ain't no saint
Most our innocence is tainted
But my thoughts are rearranged, now I get out and create it, no funny shit
Life a little more than by how fast you could money flip
I found my happiness spreading love, not expecting shit
Never steps on others just to get you some leverage
Treat you like my brother, got your back, I ain't hesitant
People get your cheddar probably 'cause they fear the growth
'Cause we unaware they owning shit, but they want us to know
Shed a hundred tears feeling trapped thinkin' where do I go
But I chose the grind life, fuck it nigga go hard or go home
UA be twisting that la-la-la, PE be smoking that la-la-la
FZ always keeping that la-la-la, it's the coast baby sing a lullaby, uh

Yet you're not around when I want (I want)
Guess that's the thing about where I'm from (I'm from)
Could have it all, it's never enough, enough
My nightmares and my dreams fall in love

Yet you're not around when I want (I want)
Guess that's the thing about where I'm from (I'm from)
Could have it all, it's never enough, enough
My nightmares and my dreams fall in love
