[Verse 1:]
I sit back and I admire things
And I
Go to sleep and have beautiful dreams
And I
Find ways to escape from reality, cus my mentality is motivated by my salary
In actuality, my race is punished by brutality
Here's a toast for the ones that always doubted me
And I ain't mad, I just think it's kinda sad, that you hatin that I made it when really you should be glad
I ain't stressin over old times or things I never had
I'm infatuated with life, y'all thrilled by the fads
And I'm praying to God, through the good and the bad, wish I could add a few years to the life of my granddad (Ruben)
But I keep goin
Every step is progression growin
Got the heart of a lion, so I keep roarin
(Yeah)
And I keep my hands up, cus life keep on throwin
Wa**up
(Wa**up)
[Hook:]
I just have beautiful dreams, I
I just have beautiful dreams
I just have beautiful dreams, and I
Learned to admire these things cus
I just have beautiful dreams, I
I just have beautiful dreams
I just have beautiful dreams, and I
Learned to admire these things
[Verse 2:]
After every dark night, there's a bright day after
Can't relive moments, so enjoy each laughter
Things fallin in place, when you thinkin they shattered
Have faith in the word, and God will give you a answer
Don't waste any time with the ones that don't matter
Every step you get closer like you climbing a ladder
Once your pockets get fatter, then they startin to gather
But when you needed a dollar, everybody straight scattered
But that's the way that life goes, gotta pray through the struggles cus God knows you're gonna have a lot of those
Appreciate the little things, AI showed us you can be great, and you don't ever have to win a ring
It's all about the way you played the game and how you leave it
If you believe in yourself, then you can achieve it
Even down at your worst gotta keep believing
I never sleep, but ironically I'm still dreamin
[Hook:]
I just have beautiful dreams, I
I just have beautiful dreams
I just have beautiful dreams, and I
Learned to admire these things, cus
I just have beautiful dreams, I
I just have beautiful dreams
I just have beautiful dreams, and I
Learned to admire these things
[Outro:]
I'd like to dedicate this song to my parents, Shaneka and Cornelius
My grandmothers, Minnie and Eddie Bell
My grandfathers, Ruben and Eddie
My sisters Ty, Shanti, and Kara
And to my lil bro ZaKaden
I love y'all
Yeah
[Hook:]
I just have beautiful dreams, I
I just have beautiful dreams
I just have beautiful dreams, and I
Learned to admire these things, cus
I just have beautiful dreams, I
I just have beautiful dreams
I just have beautiful dreams, and I
Learned to admire these things
