Writing down the thoughts that been lingerin' in my mind
Storytime, sit back and relax, let's rewind
Check it
Since a youngin', I was gunnin' for the big leagues
Until I realized what I wanted was some big dreams
And some dreams I couldn't wait to achieve
Slumped out my life, I couldn't wait to go to sleep
Lids shit tight and I'm snorin' in my peace
Saliva from the cheek, and you wouldn't hear a peep
Morning sunrise
Woke up, yawn, and I rise
Blind my eyes, all that sun and that shine
Flash forward, class in session, I'm on time
Doze off, pencil taps as I rhyme
Strollin' down my brain, yeah I'm stuck in my own land
Parading all around as I'm marchin' my own band
Leading my own group like I visioned, yeah my plan
Playing all the cards I was dealt with, yeah my hand
But soon to be is something I pondered in my head
Roll up, smoke up, skate out, and catch bread
Stay up, blank out, that cycle till I'm dead
And never was the same when I realized where that led
Since a youngin', I was gunnin' for the big leagues
Until I realized what I wanted was some big dreams
And some dreams I couldn't wait to achieve
Slumped out my life, I couldn't wait to go to sleep
Since a youngin', I was gunnin' for the big leagues
Until I realized what I wanted was some big dreams
And some dreams I couldn't wait to achieve
Slumped out my life, I couldn't wait to go to sleep
Head was always slumped in class, no worries bout' what I do
My mind was always foggy with no ideas what I'd be into
Inspired by the idols and the stories on how they blew
Convined a little man, go find a plan he had to pursue
And he won't stop until he moves his parents to a new view
He takin' the first steps out of the door
I know they're many more ahead
I had to get my ass up cause I was always sulkin' in my bed
I gotta make a name for myself in this world before I'm dead
I switched up and changed my path
Subtract and did the math
Later on, we writin' verses in our free time during lunch
We knew we had the skill and that our rhymes had really packed a punch
This was much more than a hunch
I can feel it deep down
Had to race to reach the surface and the truth before I drown
Rewritin' history, definin' genres call me Jeffery Brown
Separated from those times, but I still write the coldest lines
I can tell right by the signs that I was really meant to shine
All because I f*cking rhyme, creatin' some designs
No matter what's happenin' at the end I'm getting by
Like Biggie said our only limit is the f*cking sky
I can see all the fortune and the fame straight in my eyes
Since a youngin', I was gunnin' for the big leagues
Until I realized what I wanted was some big dreams
And some dreams I couldn't wait to achieve
Slumped out my life, I couldn't wait to go to sleep
Since a youngin', I was gunnin' for the big leagues
Until I realized what I wanted was some big dreams
And some dreams I couldn't wait to achieve
Slumped out my life, I couldn't wait to go to sleep
Apprise the man who sits all alone
Tell em' maybe he could make it home
He responds he's comfy where he's at
Recollections that come flooding back
Maybe he'll listen or maybe he won't
He plugs up his ears to come out of his room
He looks at his feet to make no eye contact
Stressing away till it forms to a stack
Aging like grapes, every day my reflection
Will stare back at me with no sudden connection
And days that I lived with no sudden objectives
I'm far too defective
I can't fall asleep at night
Pushed my ambitions to the side
I can't fall asleep at night
Pushed my ambitions to the side
Can't find my stay
It's all I pray
I have no clue
When I'm with you
What do you mean?
Like I said
Walk right past me
I had a dream
That you were there
That you were there
I can't fall asleep at night
Pushed my ambitions to the side
I can't fall asleep at night
Pushed my ambitions to the side
