Let me tell you this dream
That I happen to see
I finally became the star
That I wanted to be
Returned to my city
A parade's waiting for me
I never knew this love
Is something I'd receive
But that is the dream
I'll decided what'll be
It's jail, or its death
Or a parade on mann street
But that is the dream
I'll decided what'll be
It's jail, or its death
Or a parade on mann street
If you wanna eat good
You've gotta be hungry
There's no running race
Won with a lottery
Ambition and eagerness
Is all I could offer
Maybe that's all I need
When coming to greatness
I refuse to fall asleep
Without recording these songs
Nothing is guaranteed
Especially after I'm gone
I'm distant with my family
All they'll have is my songs
If they get nothing else
That's my job as a son
Do you close your eyes
Fearing not waking up
I have the most to lose
No wonder it keeps me up
Poisoning my liver
There's no point dying quick
I rather record in pain
Till my heart submits
If I earn my parade
I hope your proud of me
Or I inspire the next
That earns it after me
I pray for my sake
I don't die a failure
Who wants there last thought
To be I coulda done better
Let me tell you this dream
That I happen to see
I finally became the star
That I wanted to be
Returned to my city
A parade's waiting for me
I never knew this love
Is something I'd receive
But that is the dream
I'll decided what'll be
It's jail, or its death
Or a parade on mann street
But that is the dream
I'll decided what'll be
It's jail, or its death
Or a parade on mann street
