(Intro)
Mic check 1, 2
Mic check 1, 2
Let me tell you a little story
[Verse 1: Danny Bravo]
Catch him rocking stages in some highly populated places
His team making constellations because they're all stars
Like Lebron James in this game, he sees the haters hatin
But he loves the looks that's on their faces
So he knows he gotta make it, he ain't leaving here with nada
So dreams is what he's chasing til he caught em like Posada
All it took was patience, no doctor
He aced examinations now you're looking at the motherf**ing proctor
And he ain't never took no short cuts like stair cases
Now he's running with the greatest like he's in olympic races
A couple platinum plaques for his basement
A couple snack packs for observation cuz the proof is in the pudding
He's been putting in work and it's been working
From fable to being able until they close curtains
Until his bone's aching and there ain't no blood flowing through his veins
Man he swear the whole nation give him standing ovations
[Hook]
(Applause)
Standing Ovations
Standing Ovations
(Beeping)
[Verse 2: Danny Bravo]
Then his alarm clock rings, he know it was a dream
But he's trying to make reality out of what he just seen
So he hop up out the bed like trampolines
He wanna be high like a fiend's scheme, or hotter than steamed jeans
Cuz he, think he sick like hypochondriac
So he knows that he'll never get caught sleeping like insomniacs
He just keep his drive like a pontiac
He wanna sign on that dotted line just so he can see his mom react
Just to show his friends and them who laughed when he mentioned it
All because he's white, like the president's residence
He wanna earn percentages of pensions from his penmanship
His menacing sentences making his enemies envious
Until they both green, like moldy cheese or some grown weed
He'll show the sheep that he's gonna be the GOAT, hopefully
Just to show his teachers who don't believe in his poetry
He know that he gotta stay focused like a telescope to see the stars and them
Even though his past was looking ominous
He'll keep rhyming til he's synonymous with prominence
He gon keep it real like honest promises, he won't break it
Til the whole nation give him standing ovations
[Hook]
(applause)
Standing Ovations
Standing Ovations
[Refrain]
You either living or you dying, homie, follow your dreams
And be all you can possibly be
I said you living or you dying, homie, follow your dreams
And be all you can possibly be
You either living or you dying, homie, follow your dreams
And be all you can possibly be
I said you living or you dying, homie, follow your dreams
And be all you can possibly be
BRAVO!
