Relta - I Used To Dream... lyrics

[Verse 1] Traded in all of these dreams for liquids that won't last So, focused on the past, no, time to better your craft Oh, needed some kind of escape, the only time you can feel safe From yourself, from these thoughts, flood back in and repeat it all Aw man, we used to dream big, now we dream for the money Used to, be ever so innocent, now our minds declined And hungry for something more, wicked and broken to the core We never let our brain explore, we never venture Cause pain is something we don't want to feel anymore Of course the easy way out looks fun and free Knockin' doors down, and showin' how to grind like Bun and C But bunting won't win you the game, ridiculous claims Like maybe if I sip a little then I won't have to think about all The drama and drown out the pain, get ready for change Aspirations had us happy, thinking that's how I'll do it I'm tired of losing people to the pleasure of sipping fluids Blew it out of proportion and now it's feeling hopeless Thought about some people when I wrote this, put down the potion [Hook] I used to dream, I used to dream But see things changed, man, I used to dream x2 [Verse 2] Grew up way too quick, quickly sprint to the end of this life Never extinguish this light, ever so bright on this night This fight isn't over, come on over red rover, I'm calling Marco Ralph Lauren might make you more of a poser Stop acting like these brands can make you look better Better make a choice, too concerned with how we look Don't exercise our voice, voices in our head Telling us that we could never make it Find out we're holding ourselves back Too busy being complacence Pacing back and forth, lost our head in these clouds It's not the cause of puffing that loud, it's more like joining the crowd Crowded craniums cracking under pressure, pressing bu*tons Backwards, back tracking, track it back to where we lost all our stuffing And filled it back up with the things that help us get by on a daily Subconsciously thinking we're gods and no better than Ye It's crazy, but still we compare our sins to one another and reason I used to dream about living and now I dream about leaving [Hook] [Verse 3] I used to kick it with the clique but then it wasn't clicking Funny how things can change when you start to hear it and listen Dear Mr. Christian get off your high and mighty, well alrighty Guess it's time for me to be humble and just do it like Nike Never notion to unnecessary negative cravings Canvases covered in craters, imperfections get painted Along with beautiful blemishes, bundle up it gets colder Those things will prove to be hopeful, happy when it's all over Questions wrapped in confusion, we choose, to google the answers And get so many like Donder, Dunder, or Donner But Prancer is never left out, we feel this is this best route Can't look weak, so heads high, our hearts low, but our chest out Mos Def, black on both sides, inside and outside Of my world and this world, crimson cords, roll tide Rolled eyes get no attention, whispered words are never heard Day dreams, nightmares, bright lights and. Blur [Hook+Outro]
