Dreams are still alive 
They don’t ever die 
Close your eyes and imagine it right now 
We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning 
Staying clear of the lies 

I wasn’t suppose to be here, compose and flow here 
Perform for your ears saying ah yeah’s 
My dream was to skate, Cali calling my name 
Who’d a thought my foot would break, me limping in pain? 
I ate my own pride, when I started to rhyme 
Mamma told me ye got to grow up can’t skate all your life 
Picture me history is shaping me sifting me, 
Changing me to a man, Xing out all my plans 
Not what I wanted my dreams was so different 
I deal with what I’m giving not trying to be him or him 

Dreams are still alive 
They don’t ever die 
Close your eyes and imagine it right now 
We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning 
Staying clear of the lies 

I used to fantasize a lot about what I don’t got 
Chick on my arm even a necklace with a cross 
I didn’t have money, No dad and only mommy 
To raise two kids, even my toes looked funny 
I thought I missed out when really I’m on clouds 
I did my work while all my friends went out 
I didn’t party much I think I touched drugs once 
My buddies all laughing at me about that Christ Jesus stuff 
Now if you seen us how the cards of switched hands 
They sleep at their parents while I’m living in first class 
Every night I’d always pray to God for tomorrow 
Who’d thought I’d be married lying next to a model 
Crazy how I elevated everyday celebrating 
Dreams do come true exercise patience 

Life is kind a bitter ain’t it, it’s full a pain and changes 
Parking tickets that tick us off and leave you tainted 
Heart pumping, your thinking of jumping 
Devils hunting don’t do it cousin 
You don’t know what is forth coming 
Brighter days a higher raise 
Light the fire play the game 
Regroup or hide ye face 
That’s why I’m authentic that’s why ye need effort 
Credit is deserved, I re-worked my world 
If everything worked out the way I first wanted 
I’d a married the wrong chick and I’d been stuck think 
Life’s embarrassed ye, laughed and stared at ye 
In the end it only builds up your character 

You know what I’m saying man,
everybody’s got an opinion in this industry 
You got to just do what you know,
don’t let know one tell you nothing, hold on to your dreams and feel it go for it
