Dreaming

Once upon a time, a kid had a dream No matter all the problems, faith he would see No matter all the work, it's the worth he would think The value of it all, the sweat he would need Just to push, to promote, to record, to provoke To endure from below, so he could make it to a show Whether hot, whether cold, whether sticking to a note Whether playing certain chords, just to have a decent flow To the lyrics on the phone, to the rhythm in the beat Building his recording studio, 100 each week Trying to work every morning so 100 he could bring Just to build up his work, and nobody wants to see It's a joke for so many simply because he's a rapper His homeboy working with him because the vision he captured Ignoring all the hatred, the mockery and laughter The two work together to live happily ever after Through the thick and thin, whether hot and cold Through day or the night, through the dark of the storm You're One step close, so you don't let go You're One step close, so you don't let go Keep dreaming Gotta keep dreaming He never really thought that a song could release So much love and potential, enough for one to see One CD, one song, one voice, one beat One synth, one snare, one drum, one thing That he grabbed is the fact that he never had departed Since 2009, the year when he started But ever since then, he felt his heart hardened By the circumstance of life, so he kept his heart guarded Tried to play it tough, so he starting making songs For the gang he was committed to, didn't last long For his mind to be corrupted and his ways being wrong Hiding all the tears that he shed up be strong Almost getting jumped in, slanging with the gang Tryna beef with other people for dissing on what he banged Almost committed suicide, twice to be exact All because his dad was gone and his mind wasn't in tact Through the thick and thin, whether hot and cold Through day or the night, through the dark of the storm You're One step close, so you don't let go You're One step close, so you don't let go Keep dreaming Gotta keep dreaming So much that the kid had gone through for his age To the point where no longer he wanted to stay On this earth, for his life he wanted to go away From all of the drama he had to that day But then one day, he had the urge to fight With the God of the heavens bout the purpose of his life ""If you really are real, then show me who You are"" ""I'm tired out of this hatred I have inside my heart"" But on that day, inside a little building He felt something coming from the top of the ceiling So overwhelming, fuzzy warm feeling He had an encounter with Jesus and got healing No more pain, no more tears No more anger, no more fear Eyes wide open, mind's so clear Truly understood that Jesus Christ was near If you still didn't know, I'm the kid in the story There's so much to explain but for the sake of recording I gotta move on, cuz the story keeps going I gotta keep the faith cuz I know I'll have the glory One last thing that I have to explain All the music that I make is for the sake of His name I'll never be the same, and now I really see He gave me the tools so I could reach my dream Through the thick and thin, whether hot and cold Through day or the night, through the dark of the storm You're One step close, so you don't let go You're One step close, so you don't let go Keep dreaming Gotta keep dreaming
