Verse 1
I'm not lookin' for fame, I'm not lookin' for fortune
I'm lookin' for success and what's important
Every day and night I practice performin'
While these people I befriended are out there conformin'
But maybe they forgot what it means
To follow a dream
To take that chance, and put it on everything
To wake up everyday, record, and sing
Put your headphones on and see what music can bring
It's that feeling in your heart, in your soul, and mind
That feeling that you get every time you rhyme
The pa**ion that you put into every line
When you hold a pad and pen and let your thoughts unwind
Chorus
So you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think
I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream
I've worked to hard just to through it away
So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day
And you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think
I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream
I've worked to hard just to through it away
So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day
Verse 2
I'm driven with pa**ion, powered by hate
Influenced by music, and inspired to be great
So this is my moment, this is my fate
I've come so far, I can not hesitate
They say read the book, and judge the cover after
But you haven't even gotten past the first chapter
So practice what you preach, and stop trying to be the pastor
There's a key to success and it isn't a pa**word
Chorus
So you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think
I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream
I've worked to hard just to through it away
So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day
And you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think
I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream
I've worked to hard just to through it away
So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day
Verse 3
When I walk around my town I see the flyers I put up ripped down
And the people that were my friends nowhere to be found
I remember when you loved my sound
I get a little bit of success and you hate me now
I've gone days with out sleep just promoting my name
In hopes that it'll lead to just a little bit of fame
So the next time you decide to judge, hate, and criticize
Remember these words before you tell more lies
You do not know me
Chorus
So you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think
I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream
I've worked to hard just to through it away
So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day
And you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think
I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream
I've worked to hard just to through it away
So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day
