Exile - Never Dream lyrics

[Hook] Sleepwalking got you following your dreams boy Take it from me (never, never dream) Don't wear your heart on your sleeve boy Tellin' me this world isn't all that it seems You're 'bout to fall for the scheme We all wanna be kings boy Take it easy (never, never dream) It ain't as easy as it seems boy Everybody wanna lead but nobody wanna bleed [Verse 1] Now was it all to bling? I used to read the Source magazine Before I started going full-force on this rapping thing I had a mean left but never had a battle swing Yet I would ball up all the ballers on the traveling team I was a bit more secure than your average teen Too broke for prom yet the queens kept asking me to ask them I was like: ask him! I was thin, about five ten benching with the baddest thing in school Sneaking sips of pops' pimp juice Rocking Timbs and my gym shoes But still hoopin' on n***as with the truest form swishin' But now I think my uniform is missin' Cause me missin' shots: rarer than a unicorn existing I was playin' more positions than they shoot in p**n pictures I was born with it but I wasn't born for it Still I never looked back like Forest [Hook] [Verse 2] Yes indeed he wrote graffiti on the bus Backseat, headphones, blown on the kush Being something great Told my lady "wait I gotta leave up out the States!" Cause I ain't know who I was Before I had a buzz, I used to shoot the sh** with the crips and the bloods Funny thing about it was I didn't know they was Told 'em they was gods cause they didn't know they was We just rolled hay, blowed away, playing thangs We only taked d** as a way to stay above From government officials with missiles or the thugs with the pistols Taking hate to places they forget to take they love I was talking to my cuz just the other day Hung up the phone, didn't tell him what I want to say I want to say that whenever you fall astray Stay awake and you'll always find a way [Hook] I mean, damn, it's like everyday's the same day Another realisation that you ain't paid I came to the conclusion that I can't complain Cause if the world was a canvas I wouldn't paint pain I've seen Jay's fame but I took Dames advice And took the hustle route, tryna flip a couple thou Just like a humble child listen to my uncles feed Geeked off a couple thou they was makin' once a week Now the truth leaks out when they discussin' me So I had to flip it for n***as that get productive, see? Now the business is busy as a bumblebee Hoping n***as mumble me and soon the next Puff will be I never asked these n***as to put trust in me But really, who would lead you to the heavens if it wasn't me? Huh? Plus I do it so comfortably Doc Martin, never thought I would become a King [Hook]
