Jake Crocker - Cul De Sac Dreams lyrics

(Verse 1) Take a breath, look where you came, from the neighborhood that ain't change From the block that taught me growth, from the house that brought me pain Outside where I like to play, Mom's at work, no dad today School staff just drove me home, and I'm feeling bad cos it's Saturday But that's how you pay when you recognize that potential come from bottom Can't remember what we did last summer cause' we all looking forward to Autumn Back in school, even if we do get taught on how to be average But the real fact is that feed back and make a good kid turn savage Big family, small dreams, that's how it always seams That's why those bills are late and kid's don't wait to steal some things We learn quick, we don't think, we just act, we don't bother We don't see no different paths to follow so we don't wander But we all wanna, we all envision a different approach Turning my bed to a throne, swimming instead of a float Sick of an ending I know, but I'll rewrite that right now Whatever helps me get through the night right? just lie me down (Hook) These are the cul de sac dreams, as cold as that seems I, bring everyone up when the sun up no sleep It's for the kids without a shot, caught in that regime Born alone die alone the cul de sac dreams These are the cul de sac dreams, as cold as that seems I, bring everyone up when the sun up no sleep It's for the kids without a shot, caught in that regime Born alone die alone the cul de sac dreams (Verse 2) From the cul de sac that'll hold you back, seen dreams built and destroyed Seen many look like they about to run and then un become employed Like where am I going wrong I saved up and made enough to cut the ties But it's like every time that I try, it ends like every other time I tried Is that a sign? That I ain't gonna make it? But I ain't staying down in this basement In a place where ain't no growing done, so why is it me am I the only one Am I old enough, am I brave enough? That's just talking basics Which lack in my location! No wonder why we ain't make it We all fall in line when they call our time, no matter the rich or the poor But if life just gon be a task for you then what are you living it for? I'm wishing for more, more hunger, more love, less given Let's stop talking about routes, lets talk more about what's in em It's complicated, I ain't lying, but I ain't figured nothing out without trying From the cul de sac to where I die in, this my life my pain All because of a platform I'mma rap for them all of the same These are the cul de sac dreams every body feel me saying (Hook) These are the cul de sac dreams, as cold as that seems I, bring everyone up when the sun up no sleep It's for the kids without a shot, caught in that regime Born alone die alone the cul de sac dreams These are the cul de sac dreams, as cold as that seems I, bring everyone up when the sun up no sleep It's for the kids without a shot, caught in that regime Born alone die alone the cul de sac dreams
