Dreaming (Explicit)

Dreaming - Scribe

Check it out 1 2 hey yo hey yo

I came a long way since back in the day

From a teenager trying to make a rap in this way

Ever since I was a kid

I had something to say

Rocking mics was a dream

I didn't care about pay

I sacrificed late nights

And going out with my friends

Just to stay home alone with my pad and my pen

Had my eyes on my prize my mind on my goal

As I carved these rhymes out

With my hear and my soul

I didn't have a CD all I had was a tape

On the dole thru my flow was my only escape

From a world where

They didn't wanna see my prevail

Didn't wanna see me take it all

They'd rather see me fail

It's like

I was down and out

Struggling

Wondered how I'm gonna make it thru

I got a dream

Holding on

I can't let go

'Cos I gotta make it come true

Hey yo

I got a dream to make it big in New York

Give up the drugs and alcohol

I didn't want to distort

My vision to be living life to the full

And I wouldn't of made it

If it wasn't for you

You picked me up every time that I fell

When I was going thru 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

Would a man I would make

Its like you saw something in me

I couldn't see

You said I would succeed and be anything

I wanted to be

I'm 23 and I just wanna be me

Wanna be free

Wanna be everything I can be

But I don't have many choices

Can't afford to be wrong

All I do is try to stay

True to the words of my song

Just don't hesitate and wait too long

'Cos like a dream

When you wake up its gone its gone

I was down and out

Struggling

Wondered how I'm gonna make it thru

I got a dream

Holding on

I can't let go

'Cos I gotta make it come true

It was a sunny day and we were feeling high

Jamming the song underneath the baby blue sky

Thinking 'bout in the time

When we were so poor

'Member the kids used to

Laugh at the clothes we wore

We always knew one day

That things were gonna change

And from that day

I was never gonna be the same

I went to sleep that night

I dreamt I touched the sky

And ever since

I've been trying to keep my dream alive

So when you see this Scribe

Dropping the Ill'ed rhyme

To find how I'm living mine

In this day and time

I'm working 9 to 5 I'm slaving over beats

Its hard work living the dream

I hardly ever sleep

I'm in the rhythm deep

Yo just trying to do my thing

Its funny when you shine

And people hate to see the gleam

No matter what they say keep on doing

What you do

And don't give up 'cos only you can make

That dream come true

Its like

I was down and out

Struggling

Wondered how I'm gonna make it thru

I got a dream

Holding on

I can't let go

'Cos I gotta make it come true

I was down and out

Wonder how

I got a dream

I won't let go 'cos I got
