Dream Chasin'

[Skit]

"Alright guys, good shit today at the label, I think it went well"

"Yo, I'm tired as hell"

"Yeah, well, we got a long ass ride home, so you gotta get some sleep on the bus"

"We'll try to"

"We got that show tomorrow, so make sure you get that rest, alright?"

"Alright"

"Before you miss that bus, the last one tonight, try not to sleep at my house"

"Alright, man"

"Meet you tomorrow"

[Verse 1]

Ayy, check the plans out

We work hard, I ain't asking for a handout

If I hit the booth, I don't have to pass them grams out

And be the well when the other thoughts ran out

They say they lost words; I got 'em puzzled like the crossword

Harvard, I'm nuts, George Washington Carver

But you can never pay a boss peanuts

If it gets messy, be prepared for the cleanup

But this thing called success is so strange

'Cause you can get notoriety and still ride the train

Make it in its entirety and search for the fame

But I'm still Michael Phelps, swimming in my lane

Where's Lois? Me, I'm Superman, I'm just here to save the day

Or at least I thought I was, 'til I

Flew in to save her and I met my opponent

I'm fighting with myself; don't offer the condolence, I'm dreaming

[Chorus]

We chasing the dream

So what is life? The diamonds and the gleam

Get a job while I'm doing it, promise to stay true in it, doing it

But never let another soul ruin it

And things ain't what it seem

Make money to spend it, I got my scheme

Work hard while we doing it, promise to stay true in it, doing it

But never let another soul ruin it

[Verse 2]

It's too haunting, the task is daunting

Tryna get the labels on board while flaunting

But let's make some music, make some money, get the rides

European ties, have models for wives

Sometimes I feel fated to pretend

Unsafe, 'cause my crib is far from gated in

I'm a relic, believe slightly the psychedelic

If I could take off, would you consider me angelic?

Hysteric, I'm the subject and the predicate

They hating on me; tell me, where's the etiquette?

If you Goliath, I don't need to prove I'm better than

I play David, I'm a fourth-year letter man

So Letterman, can't you hear me knocking on the door?

Hard to breathe at this altitude where oxygen is poor

Think Benz, I don't know what Pontiac means

And this is what happens when an insomniac dreams

[Chorus]

We chasing the dream

So what is life? The diamonds and the gleam

Get a job while I'm doing it, promise to stay true in it, doing it

But never let another soul ruin it

And things ain't what it seem

Make money to spend it, I got my scheme

Work hard while we doing it, promise to stay true in it, doing it

But never let another soul ruin it
