[Intro]
[Verse 1: Ca**ow]
It was about 1997
When my heart fell from the heaven and your world was so important
More important than the reverand
But you would always leave more than you would ever stay
And my heart would just soon grow astray
Knowing tomorrow be the same as yesterday
You was my hero even when you lost your cape
But I ain't know how to deal with all this space
My time waste when you
[Hook 1: Ca**ow]
Shattered all my dreams
sh** I've never seen
Just a little pawn
Trying to grow to be a king
And I'm chasing all these dreams
Believe with no belief
All them nights missing
Couple days turned to weeks
You done missed out on my dreams
Aye, you done missed out on my dreams
This life ain't what it seem
[Verse 2: Ca**ow]
Uh, born an Aries but trying to ball like a series
My vision became blurry, the people I love hurt me
People I lust nurse me
For the moment grab a chaser, uh
Taught me let a hoe just be a hoe but never chase her
The winter colder, summer's hotter
I'm gazing out the window pane just trying to see my momma
Like yo you seen her at a round?
Man, I'm just trying to spot her
Till that night, went to that house, me and my bro got her
[Hook 2: Ca**ow]
Shattering our dreams
sh** I've never seen
Just a little pawn
I'm trying to grow to be a king
I'm just chasing all these dreams
Believe with no belief
All them nights missing
Couple days turned to weeks
Man, you shattering my dreams
Aye, look you shattering my dreams
This life ain't what it seems
[Verse 3: Ca**ow]
Uh, a late night in September, all I remember
It was popping on the block
All the homies, plus the members
Then I heard them shots fired but that sh** happened all the time
Just turned my a** the other way
I got my own business to mind
I was looking at the news like why the f** they gotta shoot?
Then my n***a hit me like that n***a hit last night was you
Then my heart fell to the ground like a Cupid that can't shoot
I would of ran across the street my cover might have saved you
[Hook 3: Ca**ow]
But now it's over
Remind me of October
My grandpa on his d**hbed and his hands is getting colder
Somebody grab a blanket
The stress I can't take it
Like why the hell I make it
I'm too real to ever fake it
Why you shattering they dreams?
God, why you shattering they dreams?
This life ain't what it seems
[Verse 4: Ca**ow]
Uh, my thoughts scatter as they lay across the floor
Like how I finish all these project discussions of doing tours?
I just get in the booth and vent
And these hoes around is temporary
I make them fear me, they hear me, I spit it clearly
I'm looking in the mirror I'm just trying to find my soul
Why the storm of tomorrow gotta feel so close?
Get them Jays cause I've got to
The world always telling us the sh** that we not to
With words like impossible
[Hook 5: Ca**ow]
And dreams
sh** I've never seen
Just a little pawn
I'm trying to grow to be this king
And I'm chasing all these dreams
Believe with no belief
All them nights missing
They done turned to some weeks
And I'm missing all my dreams
It's like I'm missing all my dreams
This life ain't what it seems
[Verse 5: Ca**ow]
2012, they say we all going to hell
I sit at a wishing well full of flowers like what a smell
My momma right by my side
Andre looking from the sky
They both smile at me proud to see how far I've come now
Grandpa looking from the ground
Spirit staring in them crowds
Taught me let my flesh die before I ever throw in the towel
Already living out my dreams just to see my self now
They say my music like my heart
Just thinking out loud
