lyrics

Always Had a Dream

(Verse 1)
It’s like my whole life I’ve had this dream that I’ve dreamt
And everyday that I’m awake I believe in it less
Cause no matter how much effort it won’t seem to progress
And what I consider fulfillment’s not seen as success
But I love Hip Hop with every beat in my chest
So when I’m speakin’ to a track I like to reach from my depths
Cause it’s therapeutic for me to release my regrets
But then again this music has been the reason I’m stressed
Damn this shit sucks, I wasn’t prepared for such
And I can’t give up because I care too much
It used to make me happy now I’m feelin’ lonely and blue
It makes me question things that I already know to be true
Damn I wanna quit but I’m not sure of how to choose
I guess the hardest part of life is learnin’ how to lose
A griever of defeat that needed to be freed
I no longer see it as a dream, I see it as my being

(Verse 2)

I think I’ve given up on the idea of “makin’ it”
And the idea of me bein’ in a relationship
Shit, I don’t even know what to make of it
I guess that I must lack the things it takes to make it fit
It makes me sick like all this time I just wasted it
It makes me angry and impatient and I may just quit
Even though this rap thing is like my favorite shit
It may be time for me to take a break or take a trip
Like I’m diggin’ my own grave with every page I flip
As major record labels wanna change the way I spit
It’s not that I’m not good enough and I can’t make a hit
Its cause I love Hip Hop too much for me to fake a script
So now I’m at the crossroads thinkin’ this is it
It didn’t go the way I planned but I wished it did
I guess my dreams were too big as a wishful kid
Now I can finally retire from this blissful bid
