Dreamin' I could
Dreamin' I could
Dreamin' I could fly
Started off from the bottom
If only they could see me now
Hit the strip with a dream
Put in work, put in hours
Till they see me now they're screaming out
But I knew things that I didn't want to
It's all good tryin' to fit in and be cool
But what happens when they don't want you
Who's there for you when you're famous
When your names in the pages
Headlines, newspapers
That was never what I did it for
Mom and pop came from simple lives
Knew they had it difficult
I'm sick of all this silicone
Lives that I'm seeing' so it's time to go & switch the role
As a kid in the streets I would lay
As I looked to the sky feelin' meek I would pray
Sat next to my brother in the heat o the day
I would speak I would say
As I'd reach for the clouds:
I'ma be there one day
Just wait
See you don't really know what it's like
When the system's against
As you sit on the ends and your stomach is thin
With no funds for the rent
While the rich they just win
And they spend and they spend
It just doesn't make sense
What's for dinner
Only bread? guess it's syrup again
Damn
But I know I'ma get em back
I went and picked a different path
Now it's time to hit the craft
Gassed up
But I'ma get the last laugh
Got wings but I've never been plane
And I'm learning all these letters I've been editing the names
My English teacher said that I'll never be the same
As I'm earning' all my credits I'ma step up to the plate
Just wait
Gaugin' the view I take off like a test flight
Guns cocked, pits that I skip
Got cops on my tail but I'm flying when I check mics
And if I don't get it now I'ma get it in that next life
Got that Hugo Pilot watch
Now it's time to test heights
But I'm dedicated, no options called
I've set the stages to go rock the halls
Let me paint this cadence that'll shock em all
Wheels up
Don't tell me when I'm coming' down
Deals up
This is how the broken sound
Feel stuck
Karma's never been around
I'ma get another round
Don't tell me when I'm coming down
Still flying, I'm a pilot
Kamikaze
Still flying, I'm a pilot
Kamikaze
Still flying, I'm a pilot
Kamikaze
Still flying, I'm a pilot
Kamikaze
Another rejection, stressing
I ain't get the question
Why a critic gotta pick it for
Never one to lie
But I'm a lion
If you push me forward
I just wanna go but they telling me to slow
Now the mission gettin' critical
I went to Jeddah
I got my papers
I called in favours
I'm getting anxious
Feds on my cases
Don't talk to strangers
I'm sick of waiting
I've grown impatient
Need to hone my skills
Tip the scales are bent on my field
I feel like I still
Need a moment to breathe
I'm sick of doin' it for me
Sick of countin' all these sheep
I'ma go and take the leap
I been writin' like a fiend
So I take my soul higher I'ma set it all free
Back into Bowie
Last town
Hit up the airport
Last round
Feel so much weight it's hard to take off
I need a break there's no days off
But it's whatever it takes
To hit the lay off
No more laying low
The day of the show
I'ma take the stage
Like a playoff
I get one shot
I hope it pays off
Alarm rings I'm feeling nervous
That adrenalin is now calmly surging
I brush my teeth like I'm filled with purpose
I'ma be famous His will emerging
My bands ready we drill the verses
Hop in the wheel peel to the concourse
Our kit is filled but still we're on course
Carry my bags wait on these lines
Look at the clock I'm ahead of the time
Security check but there's nothin to hide
I got what I need and it's all in my mind
Name called
That's my queue
Take your seats you gon' really need a view
Go and hand your ticket now get ready for the new
I been steady head is ready now I'm heading' for the news
Hands in the air
I got cuts in this place
My band holds it down as we rushin' the stage
Someone screams out
They can't stop us now
Some bodies fall down it's a mosh pit sound
I step forward out into the cockpit, wow
I take control of my new office
I cut the mic as I clock in
This is it
Im flying
I'm a rockstar
Thirty seconds to impact
The world's my stage
No looking back
I take my turn and then I crash
I hit the tower
Full impact
Consumed in fire as I laugh
I'll be with virgins on my lap
I hear the screams
I'm here at last
Call 911
The tower's collapsed
Goodbye
