Jux. - Daydreams lyrics
[Intro] It's like at this point it's just some things you wouldn't understand People talk about the music like it's just a hobby Like it's just a game [Verse 1: AJ Bank$y] It's like I'm living in the matrix, I don't wanna fake this Fortify my spirit so no one can ever break this Never thought of war between the humans and machines I just know that there's a war between reality and dreams What happens to a dream deferred, let's ask Langston My brother's getting money but what's money when you're wasting your life And I ain't saying that I even know my purpose But God's got a plan and if not, then I'm worthless No if and's or maybe's, maybe I'm just crazy Maybe I'm just apathetic, maybe I'm just lazy But maybe I got pa**ion and these actors never phase me And even if I got a deal I wouldn't let it change me Wouldn't let it change me, yeah I wouldn't let it change me These just the things that I been thinking These people sell their soul just to stack a couple Franklin's I really hope it's worth it, but I know that's just the surface Been to church like all my life but could you tell it from my service Trying to be transparent, but I got some dirty secrets If I told y'all I was perfect that's a sign I'm probably tweakin' I know I'm not the best, but I'm the best to give it meaning You could wish upon a star but it would help to have a genie I don't want the money or the fame, that's a side effect I just spit the truth and some of y'all ain't even try it yet I type too, like a diabetic The stuff I write is haiku, beautiful expression I never knew my IQ, sorry Mr. Binet Let's test what happens when you dream, then you go and get it [Hook: Danielle Mathis] There's a war between reality and dreams And I know this life ain't what it seems But right now I'm just trying to make a means Livin' in my daydreams (x2) [Verse 2] It's hard to dream when you never sleep And find strength when you're ever-weak I'm tryna live but I'm dying in the process Yeah I know that I'm blessed but I'm feeling kind'a bleak They tell you not to get your hopes up Ain't no lane for rappers even when you're spittin' dope stuff You can sell a brick or read a book and never graduate Or fiend to hit a lick and end up pleadin' to the magistrate Tell me that you can't relate, tell me how it's all a joke Closer to my vision even though these n***as wouldn't vote I don't blame 'em, sometimes I don't believe in me But all I got is pa**ion I'll be damned if I don't die a king I'm out here starving for my daily bread Don't say you love me, you ain't listen to a single yet And this's redemption that's implying that my debt's paid Everything I lost will be accounted for and set straight [Hook]
