lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cus I’m dreamin’, feenin’, for all the fame
I’m wishing upon a star
I pray to whom I believe in
Lord knows, Lord knows;
I’m doing it for the fame but at the same time I’m in it to make a change
I remember when I was a little kid, no care for the world all I wanted was to be big
By big I mean taller, maybe even a baller
Now I care too much and I think that I’m falling for her
Uh, before success is in my hands
No thanks to the doubters, all the applause to my fans
Friends and family I want to take a moment
Inspiring my rhymes, reevaluating my focus
Proverbs 16 says something about my dreams
Commit to the Lord in whatever, you will succeed
You might be thinking why this kid be so damn philosophical
Let me say that God, His love is crazy astronomical

[Verse 2]
Uh, I’m getting closer to my dreams
Last night was a nightmare but I swear tonight’s at ease
Devil tried to break me down by telling my to sin
My fear is in the Lord but I fear not cus He’s within
I’m praying that this fear will quickly Burn, Usher Raymond
Confessions of a Sinner Part II, give me an Amen as I,
Reflect upon this life, what really is my motivation?
Not Islamic but to ya’ll it’s As-salamu alaykum

[Verse 3]
So listen,
Don’t be blinded by the lies even though the truth isn’t what you’re wishing
Stop dreaming, live reality show the world just what they’re missing
You heard?
Telling me it’s absurd, to try to put this pen and paper in my vision in words
I could have sworn, I told you I would make it to fame
You are the motivation inside of my pencil and ink
I was here in the stu, cookin’ up food for your brain
While they were gettin’ lit up, and finding parties to drink
While they were gettin’ fucked up, and focused on other things
I was here focused on music and all the things it could bring
Choosing my path, pray to God that it’s right
Closer to my dreams and I’m ready for flight

{Chorus]
Lean on my fears to burn down
Push them all away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams

[Verse 4]
Thought we were friends, now we’re strangers again
Gives me more ambition, that’s ambition to win
Thought we were friends, now we’re strangers again
Gives me more ambition, that’s ambition to win
My priorities set and I’m longing to speak
All the thoughts in my heart, that’s ambition within
My goals to be remembered not expire and inspire
And never ever do I even plan to retire
Work hard and be kind, only speak through your grind
Grow rhyme inspire n’ drive, thas word until I arrive
I am on the come up, anything that ya’ll do I’m one up
Ya’ll grind til 3 in the mornin’, I grind til the sun up
Logically it makes sense, if it doesn’t, then it’s past tense,
It made sense, now it doesn’t, so I’m building up the suspense
Do you get it, do you not?
Are you warm, cold, or hot?
Remembered or forgot?
Don’t miss your one and only shot, do all you can
Til you reach your demands
Persevering through the fire, don’t fall quick to the sand
Damn, how much more could I go?
My breath is running out but I still got the flow, still got room left to grow
I refuse to let my flow grow cold, zero below, fast and furious I never go slow
Always higher than low, step on mines as I blow
Just believe I will make it, for a fact, its fasho
So much more to say, but thas my queue to go
So much more to say, but thas my queue to go
And I’m out cus I told you all you gotta know
And I’m out before I make this verse over flow

[Bridge]
