E-dubble - Graceland lyrics

[Hook: Elissa Janelle Velveteen] I've been down, for so long But so long to that me I've been gone, I've been wrong But I'm gonna succeed I'm aware, now I care about my surroundings There's bigger things happening Now I'm not sleeping on my dreams Ohhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams Oh-ohhhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams [Verse 1: E-dubble] '82, I was born, given life '92, I was ten, living life '93, sh** done change; I saw light When that real rap played my brain get all hyped So I'm two steppin', yeah I'm up in the place and every crew repping But they got love for the Pais, (BP!) And I ain't even stepping on stage I don't mean to dissuade I just came to get blazed In any case, you know that I be bloggin' (bloggin') And I ain't even typed one word Man, that sh** don't rhyme And that sh**'s absurd Still got that head nod sh** that will shake your nerves And I go! [Hook: Elissa Janelle Velveteen] I've been down, for so long But so long to that me I've been gone, I've been wrong But I'm gonna succeed I'm aware, now I care about my surroundings There's bigger things happening Now I'm not sleeping on my dreams Ohhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams Oh-ohhhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams [Verse 2: E-dubble] I turned your water to wine Turned your wine into water It's impressive get the messes, that's some sh** they ain't taught us That's the sh** they ain't teaching How to argue with reason How to live up to big dreams and never deceive 'em I got my girl in the front, got my dog in the back They stuntin' all over like they ain't part of the pack We always keep calm, we like when its cool I do, I take a different path when my a** outta school I got that 1-2-3-4, arrogant tool And when it goes off it blows off the ignorant fools I ain't talking about the second amendment We can bend it and stretch it, but either way I got my mind as a weapon I can promise I don't threaten to beckon Never asking for seconds unless we all ate, pray for digestion Hope that we can leave an impression Hope that we can dodge the dogmatic and take heed of the blessings And I'm gone [Hook] I've been down, for so long But so long to that me I've been gone, I've been wrong But I'm gonna succeed I'm aware, now I care about my surroundings There's bigger things happening Now I'm not sleeping on my dreams Ohhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams Oh-ohhhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams
