Verse 1 I'm not lookin' for fame, I'm not lookin' for fortune I'm lookin' for success and what's important Every day and night I practice performin' While these people I befriended are out there conformin' But maybe they forgot what it means To follow a dream To take that chance, and put it on everything To wake up everyday, record, and sing Put your headphones on and see what music can bring It's that feeling in your heart, in your soul, and mind That feeling that you get every time you rhyme The pa**ion that you put into every line When you hold a pad and pen and let your thoughts unwind Chorus So you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream I've worked to hard just to through it away So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day And you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream I've worked to hard just to through it away So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day Verse 2 I'm driven with pa**ion, powered by hate Influenced by music, and inspired to be great So this is my moment, this is my fate I've come so far, I can not hesitate They say read the book, and judge the cover after But you haven't even gotten past the first chapter So practice what you preach, and stop trying to be the pastor There's a key to success and it isn't a pa**word Chorus So you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream I've worked to hard just to through it away So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day And you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream I've worked to hard just to through it away So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day Verse 3 When I walk around my town I see the flyers I put up ripped down And the people that were my friends nowhere to be found I remember when you loved my sound I get a little bit of success and you hate me now I've gone days with out sleep just promoting my name In hopes that it'll lead to just a little bit of fame So the next time you decide to judge, hate, and criticize Remember these words before you tell more lies You do not know me Chorus So you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream I've worked to hard just to through it away So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day And you can tell me what you want, tell me what you think I'm not gonna stop, this is my dream I've worked to hard just to through it away So I'ma follow this dream till my dying day
