Dreaming

Still on the corner cause my music isn't selling so
I needed money just to book another session, no
Was never really good at saving, if I got it then I gave it
All my niggas get a plate cause I don't eat alone

I ran away from home and started skipping school
Then my father died so I went back and never left my room
Graduated with the crew, went to college for a few
Now the niggas that I grew up with don't know me anymore

It's like, they wanna keep me in the streets
Never making out the hood cuz that's where they wanna be
Say my music isn't good, while they're wishing they were me
When I come back to my city, they throw flowers at my feet

Every bitch who did me dirty wanna fuck me for my seed
Didn't know she had a man, better keep her on a leash
I can't entertain no beef when I have nothing to gain
Be the one's who always hate, who play my music everyday

That didn't wanna see me win, didn't see me as a threat
Didn't think that I was him, look who's laughing in the end
Only want me cause I'm next, I can't trust another bitch
Only worried bout the fam, yeah

Wish my niggas could be here, lost too many of my friends
So I'm doing this for them, and for me
If I'm still asleep, please don't wake me from this dream
I'm okay here

Staring at the same four walls in my room
To traveling the world with my crew
Opening for other people's shows
Selling out in different city venues on my own

Coming from a place where no one really makes it out
Sleeping on the couch at my little cousin's house
They got me off the streets and put me in the studio
I ran away from home, now I live inside the booth

I got niggas saying, they want new music every week
On the outside looking in, they don't see what I can see
All the trauma and the pain, things I wish that I could change
Memories that never fade, always linger on my brain

When I'm trying to create, writers block is in the way
Nothing's ever what it seems, people changing up on me
See the money and the fame, and the status that it brings
Same ones who used to hate, play my music every day

Didn't wanna see me win
Didn't see me as a threat, didn't think that I was him
Look who's laughing in the end
Only want me cause I'm next, I can't trust another bitch

Only worried bout the fame
Wish my niggas could be here, lost too many of my friends
So I'm doing this for them, and for me
If I'm still asleep, please don't wake me from this dream

I'm okay here
