Verse 1 (Tay Rhodes):
It's like a n***a woke up, and sh** started unfolding how I been planning
I thought I fold under pressure but Tony told me I'll manage
So I manned up, grabbed my nuts and and got my bands up
n***as talk but ain't saying much, plus they plan s**s
And me I got this sh** mapped out
I'm tryna get them big stacks now and won't back down
n***a created my own rules and wrote that down
And live by 'em, now I live fly and won't come down
Dream cloud is the theme now
n***a gettin my dreams out, shuttin things down
Paint a picture of me you can see how
I'm getting everything I deserve and I believe, wow
Somebody pinch me
It's people out here showing all this love to me really
It's ho a** n***as talking like that trying to k** me
But when K.O.D. be droppin they be saying the feel me, god damn
Back on the Westside, I'm coolin' with my mans
That's my n***as JB, DeLaZoo and my fam
And Lord knows ain't nobody perfect I'm guessing
But I be feeling like I'm steppin in the perfect direction
n***a we on
Hook (Tay Rhodes and DeLaZoo)
So they say we on in this b**h
Like the lights hit the switch
On our grind, we gon' shine but sh**..
Then again, maybe I'm dreaming
It ain't what it's seeming
But all I'm asking for is something to believe in
So they say we on in this b**h
Like the lights hit the switch
On our grind, we gon' shine but sh**
Then again, maybe I'm dreaming
And maybe I'm dreaming
And maybe I'm dreaming
And maybe I'm dreaimng
But if this me dreaming
I'm dreaming it out
Verse 2 (DeLaZoo)
I'm not a man yet, but what is early 20's?
No pleat in my pants yet, still look for girls to f** me
In my campus apartment but don't go to this school
Walls one upping my stomach, got more posters than food
Priorities backwards as 'ish', I'm tracking for half of average
15 years and counting late taking that batting practice advice
Like "Dad, I finally followed through!"
But I ain't followed sh** but a whim and never followed you, but f** it
Let's get rich what
With bourbon pouring from the sky take a sip what
Ain't a nary reason I could quit what
And I ain't been surprsied since I k**ed me the peace of mind
And enrolled in community they don't judge me a bit what
Made this beat when my dad on the rent
In my Cali apartment, some sh** done changed for me now
Cause I'm back in the city, feeling like back in the pen
Remixed on California ave, but I'm paying it now
Swear I came from a second where I dropped and my city checked it
And met me some famous people, but, then again maybe I dreamt it
Or maybe I meant it, or maybe I peaked and never realized I slept it
But I ain't here for listening my neighbors talking b**hing 'bout noise
I can take it down to 8 but bet the speakers won't k**
At the door explaining all how my and my boys view it
Cause we just made a hit and sh**, he probably should chill
But I don't know what they want, and won't listen when you tell me
If you've got it then you flaunt, and I've been letting 'em sell me
Cause at this point I'm positive that what they're selling is me
But if that ever change I'm comfortable to sell it for free
Hook
Verse 3 (JB)
Pops always told me power is knowledge
Or was it knowledge is power? To high to acknowledge
When I was 17, I dropped a scholarship, did a bid
He said, "At least your a** is in community college"
But my city's asleep, waiting on somebody to blow
And lately all that's been around's a bunch of Tommy and Cole's
Just some sideline rappers who ain't up on they job
But I say f** 'em though, somebody still speaks from the soul
And wouldn't change for the game, or the chain, or the label
I'm tryna use these words to move my city, Winnebego
Sippin' lean with the Faygo, man these vices is a b**h
And I've sworn a hundred times that I'mma drop 'em when I'm rich
But I'll probably put my first rap dollars towards a zip
I'll think it's something bigger, but I know it won't be sh**
Man I'm riding through the city, no homies in the whip
Thinking how responsibility is lonely as a b**h
I've gotta manage this sh**, it's either man up or quit
My mind is racin' but my body is standing still as a mannequin
Pa** the k** and I'm Anakin
Skywalkin, high often
Could talkin, loud potent
Every room that I'm standing in
They ain't won sh** and they tellin 'em bring the banners in
I've been picture perfect they won't even bring the camera in
Now tell me what the f** is wrong that scenario
School boys envy me, cuties be like "there he go!"
The flow is legendary, the hoes are secretaries
Giving brain and then we pa** 'em down like they hereditary
Swear that my position in this game is far from temporary
Music is my calling, my city is what I've been set to cary
I'll be spitting sh** as real as this until I'm dead and burried
Working 'til my pockets see a presidential cemetary
Dream bigger when you live alone, die alone
Cause don't know nobody answer when you buzzin' like a dial done
Hook
