I've been fortunate to work with some of the greatest but there will only be one Otis Redding
[Chorus]
Phonzy: Imma keep dreaming, no matter what they say, I know we can make a change
Imma keep dreaming, no matter what they do, Imma keep it real with you
Yea Imma keep dreaming~
[Verse 1]
Illmaculate: What if it's all for nothing, what if it isn't though
Dreaming being free as a bird waking up pigeonhole'd
Tolerate, all of the pain, use that sh** to grow
My pleasured life ain't a music video
I always knew I would do things, I used to have hoop dreams
I bodily motions, that's how I get through things
Prolly why I have mood swings, my
Heart on my sleeve with my budget on shoe strings
Struggle taught me a few things
Remember at school being, a part of the cool scene; it's all love
I was just too me and never got too mean
Now, most of my whole teams on d** or locked up
I was in the studio, I just needed space to write
I remember fighting after school I could of paid the price
I was making songs, they was partying late at night
The same thing that separated us is what saved my life
[Chorus]
Phonzy: I'mma keep dreaming, no matter what they say, I know we can make a change
I'mma keep dreaming, no matter what they do, I'mma keep it real with you
Yea Imma keep dreaming~
They keep tryna' test me, trying to arrest me
I'mma keep dreaming, I'mma keep dreaming, I'mma keep dreaming, dreaming~
[Verse 2]
Illmaculate: I seen homies go from all of that, to being on that sh**
I had brushes with the law infact
Fella needs could of stopped me in my tracks
Now I'm feeling like, nothing could stop me on these tracks, huh
Everything isn't as it seem, I was fifteen I had a dream
I used to run them battles back watching, now I run the battle scene
Travelling the map, meeting Drake saying he was a fan of me
Yea that f**ed my head up
Took my lungs, but what if I didn't get up, that's life's way of tryna' test us
Learnt my lessons, my ex of seven years left me
Depression set in but that led me to the present
Felt the pressure, but it made a diamond used my hunger as my motivation let it shape the way that I'm rhyming
Yea it made what I am
Isolated as it 'came an island, pain is fuel in the tank while writing all i'm saying is I am
[Chorus]
Phonzy: I'mma keep dreaming, no matter what they say, I know we can make a change
I'mma keep dreaming, no matter what they do, I'mma keep it real with you
Yea Imma keep dreaming~
They keep tryna' test me, trying to arrest me
I'mma keep dreaming, I'mma keep dreaming, I'mma keep dreaming, dreaming~
[Bridge]
Illmaculate: Lifes too short not to dream
It's all we got
But as one said
Life is a dream for the wise
A game for the fool
A comedy for the rich and a tragedy for the poor
Think about it
