Dream

They say I dream, while I’m just dreaming of a family

one that will love me, and appreciate who I want to be

but I’m wishing on the stars, that my dream will go real far

but my star went and fell, and now I’m bringing broken bones to show and tell

I want to be who I am, don’t want to fake, don’t be pretend

I want to make people proud, go on stage and rock a crowd

I spend each moment and prep, trying follow in Macklemore’s footsteps

I want to be him rap like him, while I’m trying my best to fit in

trying to repent of my sins, to many don’t know where to begin

All i know is I want to rap, I want a beat that goes rap tat a tat tat

Screaming Ollie Ollie Oxen free, hey you want to be my family

I doubt time is what I got, cuz right now it’s me versus the clock

They said things will get better, they got worse, tell me doctor am I cursed?

I’m just trying to make it through the verse, help me I need a nurse

no i need life support, cuz my heart beats falling a little too short

Keep me alive keep me alive, tell me you need me by your side

that’s only thing I need to survive, so will I live or will I die?

I found myself in a grave, crying cuz the best is all I gave

Wonder who felt more pain, me or you knowing I could’ve been saved

But no, you let me die, I’m over here wondering to myself why

Did you think it was my time? Or would it be easier to say goodbye?

I mean I really don’t know, Is this all you got to show?

Can I not have just one friend, who will stay with me until the end

One that will give me a helping hand? Save me from drowning in quicksand

Or maybe save me from my thoughts, I don’t know even what I’m not

Am I bad, am I good? The struggles of living in the hood

Am I a bad boy? Breaking little kid’s toys

My life is getting destroyed, front line duty getting deployed

But look now I’m dressed in green, this is not who I wanted to be

Front line facing the enemy, hoping they don’t see me

Now I’m holding a gun, how do people see this as fun

Why was I bad in my past, now bullets are going a little to fast

Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get away I already tried

I’m down I’m crying in pain, veteran gives a meaning to my name

One thing I want you to know, getting to the top means taking things slow

I didn’t get to follow mine, I promise you’ll get there if you try

I’ll be cheering from the sideline, and one secret don’t ever deny

I know you can go far, so you can be driving your nice sports car

Go out there and be who you want to be, go out and let your life free

It might not happen, it may seem, but do it for me and follow your dream
