Nightmares

Who knows the way
To make it all come true
And when we lose hope
Fresh dreams, they haunt you
Who knows the way, knows the way
To make it all come true
Who knows, know, knows, knows the way
Our dreams they haunt you
Dreams they haunt you
Dreams they haunt you
Dreams they haunt you
Trying to navigate through all of my nightmares
Inner demons, though, they don’t ever fight fair
I found my eyes on the prize back when I was yea high
Good god, I was chilling in a high chair
I deserve to have this right here
Name in lights, I like this right here
Sold-out crowd, everybody going loud
With their hands in the air, all screaming like yeah
But nothing came easy, too many
Set backs, they ain’t never believe me like I was
Left back, everybody would leave me so I would
Just rap, they ain’t wanted my CD
So then it’s me by myself, couldn’t come out of my shell
I would sit and dwell, my anxiety was swell
And the only thing that’d help were some pills that would melt
And dissolve, thinking that my problems got resolved
Only for a bit, till it all wore off
That’s why addiction’s a contradiction
Killing everything you love ‘til it comes up missing
Before you know, you all alone
The smoke clears and it’s worse than before
And you’re on a sinking ship, it’s a struggle to stay afloat
Blurred vision, losing sight of my goals, and I know
If I only knew this would drive me insane
I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t change a thing
No, I won’t stop, no, no
No, I won’t stop
I won’t change a thing, change a thing
Change a thing
And everything I’ve prayed
Only makes me stronger
It makes me strong
So, I don’t take this for granted
I’m not supposed to be here
All these years of pursuit in the booth
Got left in the cold when I should have let go, though
Hindsight’s 20/20
If you doing what you love, it ain’t all about the money, but
Dedication doesn’t come without a price
And it’s hard to see clear with your eyes on the finish line
After all this time spent
Lost best friends and my girl up and left
Questioning my purpose, is this really worth it?
Sacrifices made just for me to make verses
Focused on this dream even though I can’t sleep
Steady counting sheep took solace in beats
And in the end, this is who I am
If I could do it all again
I wouldn’t change a thing
Keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive
Keep the dream alive
Keep it alive
