[Verse 1: J-Lano]
This the story of 2 kids living in the city
The right place, wrong time, wouldn't take no pitty
They were determined to get it, they benefited from written
They live it, n***as admitted, they flow was acidic
And how they would spit it, they sh**ted
Dreams so vivid, they could see em' coming
Everybody laughed at em' now you see em' gunning
For the top like a 9 pointed at your head
One shot, and they take it quicker than liquor and bread
Now they fed up how they living through the past year
They broke living by rich kids the math here
Is off n***a, the charts n***a, they bomb spitters
So they considered that failing it was they last fear
They tryna move they moms out to a bigger house
The struggle life, they climbing up and getting out
Across the country now, never living in the doubt
One is west coast life, the other living in the South
[Hook]
Now I'm tryna live the life that I really could
And I'm tryna live right like I really should
This the life of a person living in a dream
Tryna make it but you know it a'int what it seems
And im tryna be the person that I really could
And im tryna do the things that I really should
This the life of a person livin in a dream
Tryna make it but you know it a'int what it seems
It a'int what it seems
[Verse 2: B.Honest]
And as this story proceeds I'm on the clock, Jay is probably clocking out
This 9 to 5 got us fed up been here tryna develop that sound that all these rappers scared of...
At the same time stressing, living kinda broke but nope
Never in mind with hope, that all of these rhymes we wrote will give us some shine
The sh** we we're designed to do since the beginning of time
We define what the struggle is, living behind the suburbs, thinking it's absurd
That they don't realize how hard it can get
These rich kids, they dont know sh**
About that overtime we put in just to get through the rent
Meanwhile.. I'm on my way to work, drivin in my mom's Ford, getting cut off by a Porche
Never hit the horn cause I admired it too long, couldn't be mad at my dream car
It was so close yet so far, why do you tease God?
2 kids with the same dream, seems odd
One resides in the South side, the others West side uh
