Hayden Forbes - Chasing Dreams lyrics
[Intro: Hayden Forbes] Yeah It's like Everything I've done Has been leading up to this moment [Chorus: Lo & Hayden Forbes] Chasing dreams (Ok now) Chasing dreams (You're doing great now) Chasing dreams (But can you take it) I’m chasing dreams (Just try and make it) Chasing dreams (Ok now) Chasing dreams (You're doing great now) Chasing dreams (But can you take it) I’m chasing dreams (Yeah) [Verse 1: Hayden Forbes] I’ve always felt like rappers just had the right component It seems like they’re always just trying to live in the moment They own it, as soon as everything is recorded They feel no pressure, they just set their targets (Zone in) When it comes to music, Yela and Shady are what made me The stories they’ve told have always impacted me greatly In fact, lately, rap’s been so inspiring, so now I’m writing things Till somebody'll hire me and I can meet my fans so I can be signing things I’ll have platinum plaques framed up on my wall Being rewarded for things for like how I’m out rhyming you all I got a high confidence, a rapper I can see me being Whatever happens in my life I gotta stop that dream from fleeing Yet when I started to perform, I was soon feeling the pressure Were my lyrics good enough? I became a second-guesser I would always wonder how they did because I would stand stiff But then I felt the touch of the cold mic and heard guitar riffs [Chorus: Lo & Hayden Forbes] Chasing dreams (Ok now) Chasing dreams (You're doing great now) Chasing dreams (But can you take it) I’m chasing dreams (Just try and make it) Chasing dreams (Ok now) Chasing dreams (You're doing great now) Chasing dreams (But can you take it) I’m chasing dreams [Verse 2: Hayden Forbes] The relationship of me and music has become entangled But I know I’ve loved hip-hop ever since I was only a day old The story sounds too fiction, man it must just be a fable But you’d know it was true from the stories being told at the table Now I spend most of my time alone, writing in a journal And my desire to write will always and forever be eternal But if the XXL Freshman list is out and it has not me How will I handle these strong lyrics that support my weak body My thoughts keep going back and forth just like a tug-of-war But my writing’s doing really well (Just settled another score) A year and a half later, time to show off my true music With no excuses, some cuts and bruises, and no truces (It’s time to lose it) [Bridge: Hayden Forbes] Now I wasn’t sure of my dreams, I kept on second-guessing But then when I was spitting bars to a simple chord progression And my hope is building up, great songs to me are just a mere routine With everything you hear from me, it’s clear to see, it’s probably I’m [Chorus: Lo & Hayden Forbes] Chasing dreams (Ok now) Chasing dreams (You're doing great now) Chasing dreams (But can you take it) I’m chasing dreams (Just try and make it) Chasing dreams (Ok now) Chasing dreams (You're doing great now) Chasing dreams (But can you take it) I’m chasing dreams [Outro: Lo] Chasing dreams Chasing dreams Chasing dreams I'm chasing dreams
