Brilliant Mack - A.D.D. (A Deferred Dream) lyrics

[Verse 1: D. Ciano] He used to draw the world as he saw it Characters inspired by life it was his own comic Gifted with sk**s, hard to believe he was never taught it Would even draw for his girl but she didn't support it Steady impressing all his friends Cause every time he picked up the pen It was like a A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream His girl threatened to leave if he didn't get real She just saw it as a hobby that couldn't pay the bills So he got him a 9-5, away from his sk**s Now he sketches on desk in an office that made him feel Drawn away from the craft he perfected Cause he was too scared to pursue it so he left it as A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream [Chorus: Rey Fonder] Last night was so well versed, I saw back then & I saw the future Caught in-between where to start first, what does it mean that I saw us? Can't pause a thing, rewind a thing, it all feels like a A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream Last night was so well versed, I saw back then & I saw the future Caught in-between where to start first, what does it mean that I saw us? Can't pause a thing, rewind a thing, it all feels like a A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream [Verse 2] She saw her life as a movie from a fast glance Hoping someone would step up to save the last dance Her last chance to show her parents the way to go Her school supplied the stage to let her talent show But they made her stop rehearsing it And broke her heart by saying it wasn't worth the risk Claiming it was a A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream Fast forward, she has a daughter she takes to school Showing her cla**ics like Beach Street & Breakin' 2 A Spitting image of her even the way she moves Tryna embed in her head that she can make it through Giving her everything she needs The love and support to believe and fully pursue A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream [Chorus] [Denzel Washington Talking] Imagine you're on your d**hbed And standing around your d**hbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential The ghosts of the ideas you never acted on, The ghosts of the talent you didn't use And they're standing around your bed, angry, disappointed, and upset They say “we came to you because you could've brought us to life” they say “and now we have to go to the grave together”
