They tried to put me in a box, yeah
Like I'm a square 3 times
I'll never be what I'm not, yeah
Constantly redesigned
Tryna define my story
Your narrative does nothing for me
Forged from the flames
Trials and the pain
Damn right I'ma get my glory
They tried to tell me what I can't do
That part of the game's been cancelled
Lil buddy, I light my own candle
Never worried 'bout shit the next man do
They must not have heard that I'm the damn dude
Discography that'll body ya damn crew
Dance on 'em like NicknPattiwack and Danrue
Can't stand a man with a plan to damage the damn stu'
Every time I step in the booth
Inevitably spit impeccable lines wit' incredible couth
My Lawd
I don' battled the odds
Standin' branded with scars
Submittin' only to God
Divine is my sword
Warrior
Faith guided me there from bein' a worrier
Payin' forward the message
Spiritual courier
Takin flight, don't wanna be late
Hurry up
Ride on the vibe
Cuz the Devil be at work
Never givin' in,
Steady putting in the work
Run on adrenaline
If it's makin' my dreams work
Faith of a mustard seed
I'm doin' it in my sleep
Challenging my beliefs
Forever I'm bred unique
Rather die on my feet
Then ever live on my knees
Here to fulfill a need
Til my name ring in the streets
And the pain's on full release
So I'll black on every beat
But I'll let this bitch breathe
They never thought I'd craft my dreams from nightmares
They never thought I'd craft my dreams from nightmares
Push through it all, and craft my dreams from nightmares
If I want it all, I'll craft my dreams from nightmares
I don' been in the world
It's grim and men just to pretend to be girls
Giving you pearls, gotta stand up
I'm on my own two feet when I ran up, and what
Been in a jam but plan much
Hands up, dealing with fam, leaving me mad stuck
Dreaming bout getting a house, live in the south?
Iono, living in doubt, feeling the clout
Of a man with a nightmare happening every dream cycle
Don't feel right, but it seems vital
Tryna elevate but when we spiral
Outcome happens and we be viral
I been stationed
In a place of my mind that is vacant
I hate the demise of the matrix
But I pray for the lives of the faithless
Wait
I'm tryna be great
Sleep through the day, wake up on a lake
Crib in the front, stay up in the place
Work on my dreams that's all that I chase
I cant sleep sometimes cause the storm is strong
And people being shady but wrong is wrong
Erykah Badu when she perform the song
You know why? I go on and on
They never thought I'd craft my dreams from nightmares
They never thought I'd craft my dreams from nightmares
Push through it all, and craft my dreams from nightmares
If I want it all, I'll craft my dreams from nightmares
