Talib Kweli - Live Your Dreams lyrics

[Intro] Your struggles are hard, but don't break the ground If you're standing be strong I will hold you down Wooah, wooooa Don't you break the ground Wooah, wooooa Don't you break the ground Wooah, wooooa [Hook] If you come up short don't stop your stride Don't be a fool and let this pa** you by Waaaooh Live for your dreams Waaaooh Live for your dreams Live for your dreams Live for your dreams [Verse 1 - Bryant Dope] Everyone wants to be a millionaire But no one wants to work, hey How you gonna stay dead asleep and expect to live out your dreams Dreams mean more when the work's hard fought To touch the ceiling you gotta start at the floor You gotta stay awake like a caffeine fiend You gotta feel loss if you really wanna win You gotta move like clocks non-stop With every tick, getting closer to the top Success ain't quick, you gotta wait in line Don't dial at the sun, asking where's your shine You gotta play cool, you can't rush time And you gotta grind like you one your last dime Laugh at haters, they just wanna take your spot It's gonna feel good when your standing at the top [Hook] [Verse 2 - Talib Kweli] Rolling through the back streets like I got beef A carnival for carnivores with the sharp teeth They animalistic, that's why we call the cops beasts They on the hunt, plus they hungry for the dark meat I rap 'til my heart beat The brain is the base The heart is the drum Give the drummer some When trouble come, you gonna run Well, it's not livin' When I stopped smoking weed my dreams got vivid Master of my destiny, but I ain't selling slaves Just tryna live through my dreams like Ellen Page Inception, my dreams are my life's reflection I fight rhyme, every line is a weapon, I'm shooting The things you want could be sweeter than Willy Wonka But first you gotta decide which side you really on Don't listen to the haters The haters'll steer you wrong Lose faith in the dream like Cristina Milian [Hook] [Outro] Who said it was gonna be easy If it was we'd all be billionaires We got some up and got your downs [Hook]
