Dreams (feat. Elus & Real)

All the years, here I am i am Never thought in the dark the dark All the years that I've taken you for granted Here I am getting everything I wanted Hard to believe I ever tried to deny you Listen when I tell you, dreams do come true Never thought I'd be standing in the spotlight After nights in the dark and bright Hard to believe I ever walked away from you So listen when I tell you, dreams do come true This ain't writing or rapping if what you thinking now Is just me speaking out loud, jotting them thoughts down Fueled by the fire inside, room for passion I drew When it was nothing to use, uninspired, nothing to muse So I sharpened the tools, finally shedding my skin Clutching with a fistful, had to grip the mic again Having to see the end to begin again With a stronger pen, born blessed with a talent Must have been heaven sent When hell bent, I used my rhymes as a way to vent And now the heat is on from the lights that are beaming on em They stopped believing em, the scores got even em The odd man out became one with the demon in em Excuse me, if I may be so bold You oughta lie low, this ain't the dark that you used to know You ain't heard by now, I'm painting my van gogh So this is me at a new plateau, I had my time to grow All the years that I've taken you for granted Here I am getting everything I wanted Hard to believe I ever tried to deny you Listen when I tell you, dreams do come true Never thought I'd be standing in the spotlight After nights in the dark and frightened Hard to believe I ever walked away from you So listen when I tell you, dreams do come true Dreams come true, but only in the waking state Make your fate, set a date, then execute Finally in the building, just entered the vestibule Castle hill, dweller, here to show what the X could do Which goal is next to shoot Forward motion, no regressive moves I'm progressive through the lessons of confessional When I'm in the booth, need a clue, I'm a professional It was all a dream when I was younger Used to brainstorm many ways to tame my hunger Cutting off ties if the aim wasn't in one I put in work all winter just to shine by summer Then repeat that cycle for a few years My shoe shed, only cared for the window Not a care for soul, life like Fred Flintstone I lay it all on the line as the pen flows All the years that I've taken you for granted Here I am getting everything I wanted Hard to believe I ever tried to deny you Listen when I tell you, dreams do come true Never thought I'd be standing in the spotlight After nights in the dark and bright Hard to believe I ever walked away from you So listen when I tell you, dreams do come true True, whole year I used to dream But my life beyond the screen was more than a movie scene I used to paint pictures, but a portrait unseen I leave a person full of purpose, feeling worthless indeed Hearts turn colder, dreams turn to nightmares Success feeling like years away, but it's right here And I'm right here, still I'm right here So I recite my life to you who might care They say that paper come in many ways Forget the block, hit the booth, they gon' sign you any day They see me, she so cray, thinking about how I flow this way But I'm thinking about how to motivate, I'm the best hand down There's no debate, you can't ignore the grate And I am number one, so there's nothing left to prove If there's something left to do, send this message out to you That dreams do come true All the years that I've taken you for granted Here I am, getting everything I wanted Hard to believe I ever tried to deny you Listen when I tell you, dreams do come true Never thought I'd be standing in the spotlight After nights in the dark and bright Hard to believe I ever walked away from you So listen when I tell you, dreams do come true Thanks for watching
