[Verse 1- Dallas Kacey]
16 with a dream
Ain't think about the things that I would have to give up, to get what, I seen on screens
Now often nights I just sit up
And think deeply..
Like man, you couldn't make this sh** up, not even for TV man
I don't even watch TV, Damn..
All my free time
It go to writin' these lines
Perfectin' a craft and keepin' numbers from a decline
Sometimes you gotta rest
But never press the recline..
It's showtime dog
If feels like a cruel joke sometimes..
Feel like im bout to choke at times
But I know it's right, I chose rap
So I get not time off
Feel like somebody hacked my life & they just won't sign off
But dog, these hard times is just the start up fee
It's life and rap might make it hard on me
It ain't nothin' I can't handle tho
I got it down, and I promise I'll be here for a while..
Man these things, they just come & go
[Hook- E-Dubb]
Day & Night and Night & Day
I been chasin, my mind been racin
I don't wanna come down
I don't wanna come down
(I don't wanna come down no no)
[Hook]
Nothing lasts forever
They'll be things I don't remember
They come & go
(They come & go)
They come & go go go
[Verse 2-Dallas Kacey]
Even the lil things is hard
My brothers ballin at the park & I can't even play with'em
Nobody call me savior, but still I feel I need to be that
Sacrificin' this time away from home, so when they gimme the throne I know where my seat
Gimme a minute.. I'll get it right, minimize the sinnin
Money too tight, as long as Im prayin, in my eyes im winnin
It's a prize at the end o' the road.. At lease I hope
But if not, then all these thoughts, I wrote, was just for show
And the struggle was all for nothin'
Me masterin' the craft of fittin' words hand in hand like puzzles
Wasn't even worth it
Now, tell me how that's workin' out
Prolly' not too swell
Cause I put my heart and soul inside these beats & went through the hell
& now what?
I'm supposed to quit?
Go and find a new hobby?
That's like tellin' a mommas' boy to go & find a new mommy
It ain't hatnin'
It's either this or nothin'
Been bustin' from the start
I try to tell'em its a art, but these n***as they just come & go..
(Chorus)
[Verse 3 - Edubb]
I, come in peace like an alien droppin' knowledge
Enter craniums and then reset the mileage
Runnin' on snare drums so every flow I kick is solid
You visualize it or stamp and leave a mark like a comet
Decorating your garments cause you the fliest, Fine as the brightest diamond
We trying to reach the highest, But every goal has a climate
Weather you dressed to fight it or not, roll ya dices
And hope you got the same will that's invested in Kobe Bryant
Tell ya self don't be ya self
Imean forget that if ya chasing never leave ya self, stuck in the trenches
Foes they come and go like merry-go's in a circus
That's the price that ya pay when success becomes ya purchase, Remember being young, being asked what you want to be?
Years pa** by you realize it was just a dream
The game switched, new plan, time to huddle
As long as the dreams fed, motivation's the muscle
(Chorus)
