I've been down, for so long
But so long to that me
I've been gone, I've been wrong
But I'm gonna succeed
I'm aware, now I care about my surroundings
There's bigger things happening
Now I'm not sleeping on my dreams
Ohhh, I'm not sleeping on my dreams
Oh-ohhh, I'm not sleeping on my dreams
'82, I was born, given life (huh)
'92, I was ten, living life (huh)
'93, shit done change; I saw light
When that real rap played my brain get all hyped
So I'm two steppin'
Yeah, I'm up in the place and every crew repping
But they got love for the Pais (BP!)
And I ain't even stepping on stage
I don't mean to dissuade
I just came to get blazed
In any case, you know that I be bloggin' (bloggin')
And I ain't even typed one word
Man, that shit don't rhyme
And that shit's absurd
Still got that head nod shit that will shake your nerves
And I'm gone
I've been down, for so long
But so long to that me
I've been gone, I've been wrong
But I'm gonna succeed
I'm aware, now I care about my surroundings
There's bigger things happening
Now I'm not sleeping on my dreams
Ohhh, I'm not sleeping on my dreams
Oh-ohhh, I'm not (yeah, yeah) sleeping on my dreams
I turned your water to wine
Turned your wine into water
It's impressive, get the message
That's some shit they ain't taught us
That's the shit they ain't teaching
How to argue with reason
How to live up to big dreams and never deceive 'em
I got my girl in the front, got my dog in the back
They stuntin' all over like they ain't part of the pack
We always keep calm, we like when it's cool
I do, I take a different path when my ass outta school
I got that 1-2-3-4, arrogant tool
And when it goes off it blows off the ignorant fools
I ain't talking about the second amendment
We can bend it and stretch it
But either way I got my mind as a weapon
I can promise I don't threaten to beckon
Never asking for seconds unless we all ate, pray for digestion
Hope that we can leave an impression
Hope that we can dodge the dogmatic and take heed of the blessings
And I'm gone
I've been down, for so long
But so long to that me
I've been gone, I've been wrong
But I'm gonna succeed
I'm aware, now I care about my surroundings
There's bigger things happening
Now I'm not sleeping on my dreams (dreams...)
