When I was kid
Dre-dr-dre dr-dre dreamer (dreamer, dreamer)
Dre-dr-dre dr-dre dreamer (dreamer, dreamer)
Yeah
Dreamer (dreamer)
And I was something like a phenom (right?)
That's what I said to my mom the other day (right?)
What I was on the other day was
I gotta get mine
I gotta get paid
And now, oh mom, I gotta get grown
I gotta get made
I gotta think about my future
Man is all I would say
I think it's finally that time
For me to make that upgrade
I will not stray from that purpose
And never will fade
Cause with age comes the beauty
If you can live without doubt
And the growth that comes with it
If you can live without outs
To be infinite
Oh my life is not defined
By the future I haven't seen yet
That I remain blind
It is defined by my actions
And the words I have sent
To every person that I love
Within this world I invent
It is defined by my limits
What I have done with their help
Allowed me to become something
Much bigger than self
And that is us
And that is love
And that is what we will continue to become (right?)
To the wife I haven't met yet
How do you do?
At the time that we meet
Will I be right for you?
I know we'll grow together
I look forward to the day
But is timing on our side?
Or is it come what may?
I ask this all the time
Within every single rhyme
Reflected in my verses
What is heavy on mind
That at this age I'm in
I'm more stranger than a friend
More danger to myself
I'm growing harder to defend
I feel my family slipping
I am gripping with pain
Am I using it for profit?
Am I using it for fame?
But I'll figure it out
I'm not much different without
If this had never happened
Then there wouldn't be doubt, right?
I wouldn't be so confused, right?
There wouldn't be much to lose, right?
This is for my mother
And the other I just met
For my twin, my sister
For every single past regret
For the person I'll become
With the person I'll love
For everyone that's come before me
My community tugs
And that is us
And that is love
And that is what we will continue to become
And that is us
And that is love
And that is what we will continue to become
Right?
♪
Okay
♪
Let's go
We're almost there
♪
I fear what I do not know
So I live like I have not grown
To the oceans that I have not swam
To the skies that I have not flown
I will embark on a beautiful journey
The wild yonder
That I have seen in dreams
But been too scared to wander
Here I go, no bags packed
I admit I am frightened
But to face the unknown
Is how to become more enlightened
Is how to get closer to God
Is how to test your own faith
To embrace what you love
From new place to new place
So who's coming with me?
And will you miss me?
Will you remember me?
And are you listening?
Will I grow wiser with age?
Will I be loved?
Would what I do here with my time be enough?
And that is it
Cause that is us
And that is what we will continue to become
And that is it
Cause that is us
And that is what we will continue to become
And that is it
Cause that is us
And that is what we will continue to become
I woke up in the morning, right?
Feeling happy and alive
Cause for the very first time
I knew that time here
Was just time
Cause with age comes the wisdom
But a whole lot of doubt
And with growth comes the with 'ems
But a whole lot withouts
And whole lot of chances
That you definitely took
