Dream Street

Time is of the essence, essential to go for mine Mind full of the lessons, it lessens the bogus rhymes Called history, must remain grounded through trickery Lose my footing, then the slope is bound to be slippery A poet shrouded in mystery, leave you posers hazy Who'd have known from the concrete would be grown a daisy? The souls of many been atrocious late-lee Still I walk while focused daily, hat low like the old Jay-Z Can't let some hate take over, my soul will rot away I'm amazed I still manage with my bottled rage I been a savage since my toddler days, ya know Don't want them demons shown, so leave havoc out my way The tides turning, the need to succeed been high-ly urgent Used to be sheepish, now I speak my views without determent Becoming unconcerned with who it provokes They claim my heart turned cold, Nah, part of the growth This God's plan, it is beyond mine Nothing y'all can do that will stop my shine Any plots or moves will never rock my grind Don't care if it's against the world, I will not decline I'll be everything you say I am, will never give a damn Never rest until the planet's in my hand So here I stand, sticking to God's plan On the chase for dreams til the day I see the promised land South Coast, until death I'll live that Though Im rarely home, know I won't forget to give back Altruism scarce most concerned to get some quick stacks In a era where these rappers sharing bars like a Kit-Kat Looking for the light in these times, the future's pitch black Government moving sketchy, be prepared for the big draft Y'all won't get that, the picture's too big to skim Nation's grim, even without Orange Invader Zim Mindset's sink or swim, Life's obviously deep It pays to be boss, just know that cost is steep When I leave, whether retire or deceased I'll inspire and make believers out of the cyphers I release Geez dear God, a man can dream Sheesh I'm a stay vibrant til I'm silenced by a beam, you decide what I mean I was born to thrive and rise, it's in my genes Blood of a slave, soul of God, heart of a king This God's plan, it is beyond mine Nothing y'all can do that will stop my shine Any plots or moves will never rock my grind Don't care if it's against the world, I will not decline I'll be everything you say I am, will never give a damn Never rest until the planet's in my hand So here I stand, sticking to God's plan On the chase for dreams til the day I see the promised land
