Dreaming

hey yo, hey yo,
i came long way since back in the day
from a teenager tryin to make it this way
ever since i was a kid i had sumthing to say
rockin miks was a dream, i didnt care about pay
i sacrificed late nights and going out with my friends
just to stay home alone with my pad and my pen
i had my eyes on the prize,
mt mind on my goal
as i carved these rhymes out
with my heart and my soul
i didnt have a cd all i had was a tape
on the dole through my flow was my only escape
from a world where they didnt wanna see me prevail
dont wanna see me take it all theyd rather see me fail
its like...

CHORUS
i was down and out
strugglin
wondered how im gonna make it throgh
i gotta dream
holdin on
i cant let go coz i gotta make it come tru
(times 2)

hey yo,
i gotta dream to make it big in new york
gave up the drugs and alcohole
i didnt wanna distort
my vision to be livin life to the full
and i wouldnt of made it if it wasnt for you
you picked me up every time that i fell
when i was going through hell
you told me that i would prevail
you said i had exactly what it took to be great
that i was young and in the future what a man i would make
its like,
you saw something in me i couldnt see
you said i would succed
and be anythong i wanted to be
im 23 and i just wanna be me,
wanna be free,
wanna be everything i can be
but i dont have many choices,
cant afford to be wrong
all i do is try and stay tru to the words of my sond just dont hesitate and wait to long
coz like a dream when you wake up its gone
its gone

CHORUS

it was a sunny day
and we were feelin high
jamin this song underneath a baby blu ski
thinkin back to the times
when we were so poor
remember the kids use to laugh at the clothes we wore
we always new one day that things were gonna change
and from that day i was never gone be the same
i went to sleep that night
i dreampt i touched the ski
and ever since i been tryin to keep my dream alive
so when you see the scribe
droppin the iller rhyme
defining how im livin min in this day and time
im workin 9 to 5
im slavin over beats
its hard work livin the dream i hardly ever sleep
im in the rhythem deep
y'oll just tryin to do my thang
its funny when your shining
people hate to see the glem
no matter what they say
keep on doin what you do
and dont give up coz only you can make the dream come tru
its like
