| Still dreaming / No reason to still be dreaming
|
| Verse One
|
| Remember everything they told me while I’m smoking this «rollie» / I kick back
|
| and note they tell me cos they can’t really show me / so once again I feel
|
| lonely but they can’t throw me / if only the pages of my lyric textbook speak
|
| for me / a demo gets cut, a record label calls me / they sign me then put the
|
| record out and then they tour me / on stage they applaud me / shorties coming
|
| to my dressing room to have an orgy / such a fabulous story / it’s the life of
|
| an MC, successful paid but stressful / no longer have to live the life that the
|
| rest do / God bless you, other rappers wanna pester you / the same people who
|
| didn’t like you are standing next to you / but beware, fake nigga’s cut you
|
| just like a vegetable / now you rocking hip-hop in heavy metal festivals / is
|
| this the life of an unknown artist? |
| / Trying his hardest to reach the dreams
|
| that he started with?
|
| Still dreaming of the record deals, fast life / money stacked up,
|
| but it feels like your still dreaming / of the parties the females,
|
| sign a contract screw the details / your still dreaming of the fame and
|
| celebrity / you made it to the top so you could never be still dreaming / and
|
| it seems like there’s no reason to still be dreaming
|
| Verse Two
|
| Studio schedule intense, making more money than sense / record label put your
|
| best joints on the bench / need you more mainstream, now you second guessing
|
| should have kept this as a daydream / plans ain’t coming together the way the
|
| A-Team do / on one side it’s team record label, other side is team you / and
|
| it’s not that clear, none of this is see through / got strangers trying to say
|
| the best way to be you / creatively you ain’t get a look in / and record sales
|
| dying so you ain’t getting bookings / and producers no longer wanna see what’s
|
| cooking / and no more messages from Tokyo to Brooklyn / the game giving you the
|
| cold shoulder / now a little older and refusing to believe that it’s over / is
|
| this the life of an unknown artist? |
| / Trying his hardest to reach the dreams
|
| that he started with
|
| Still dreaming of the record deals, fast life / money stacked up,
|
| but it feels like your still dreaming / of the parties the females,
|
| sign a contract screw the details / your still dreaming of the fame and
|
| celebrity / you made it to the top so you could never be still dreaming / and
|
| it seems like there’s no reason to still be dreaming
|
| Verse Three
|
| The game, lied it’s like it blindfolded my eyes / I learnt the hard way and
|
| never had a pleasant surprise / so I can hardly recommend the stress and the
|
| lies / it’s too ungodly, whatever made me think I’d be fine / bamboozled,
|
| this ain’t what I’m used to / now I’m like a puppet doing all the things I’d
|
| normally refuse to / screw loose, people in my ear like Bluetooth / new youth,
|
| everybody talking «he the new truth» / sitting on the outside, thinking bout
|
| the inside / regular nine to five job, I would have been fine / too late,
|
| now I can’t be a Marty Mcfly / eighty eight MPH struggling to get by / still
|
| rhyme but impossible to have the passion / cos even when you dope it seems they
|
| put you out of fashion / is this the life of an unknown artist? |
| / Trying his
|
| hardest to reach the dreams that he started with?
|
| Still dreaming of the record deals, fast life / money stacked up,
|
| but it feels like your still dreaming / of the parties the females,
|
| sign a contract screw the details / your still dreaming of the fame and
|
| celebrity / you made it to the top so you could never be still dreaming / and
|
| it seems like there’s no reason to still be dreaming |
