[Verse 1: Allenym When i think about it i remember being a kid Mom asking who done it, me pleading the fifth Oldest of 4, always planned on doing something greater In my spare time, catch me bringing pen to paper Everybody always said you have so much potential But getting my credentials just wasn't that essential I left school, couldn't take another hour Told my family when i make that that mansion is ours How come fame is so hard for everybody but me to see Got me writing songs on how nobody believed in me It seems with every generation that things are getting worse Dreams being crushed when instead they should be encouraged I see it everyday, childhoods keep getting shorter I know when i have kids ill be the biggest supported As i sit in this room making rickety sounds I can't wait till i get to say look at me now [Verse 2: Allenym] My dreams aren't necessarily being a rapper I'm aiming for money, i might even settle for actor Maybe ill even settle down and just write a book When people ask what i do i won't say i'm a cook I'm dreaming big, and i won't settle for less I know what pain is, and I've meddles in stress I won't be living my life on those government checks Ill be in the bus with the groupies, all they wanting is s** Perfect example of what happens when you don't dream You can't expect money to happen if you don't scheme And it don't seem, like many people are trying I just never want the bills to make me see mom crying Create your own destiny, i'm destined for bigger things My girl won't struggle shes destined for bigger rings You could say i'm a bad example, a drop out But i want better and being like you is not how
