SC Static - Dreams to Reality lyrics

(Verse 1) All's I knew was that rappin' involved a pen and a pad I tried to write but couldn't and I caught myself in a trap But I would do anything it would cost to get on a track So I studied some lyricists and taught myself how to rap Back then seeing me without headphones was a rare find Memorizing lyrics to my songs on my spare time I would focus when I was about to practice a verse Look in the mirror and try to get my mouth to match with the words Because we all wanted to rap but we had to be fans then first I didn't know any better was rappin' and saying "N" words Changing the way I dressed wearing baggier pants and shirts Lip sinking in the mirror and practicing hand gestures I was stuck inside my room and everyday I was dreaming I had to use my imagination creating and scheming My bed turned into a stage the lamp was raying and gleaming Drawers turned to rows and shelves turned into stadium seating It was nothing new cause I've been rappin' since I was bottle fed I would set up an audience with action figures and bobble heads I pretended that I had the dopest flow and the tightest poems Was using a TV remote control as a microphone Cause life can be painful, stressful, and often abusive So I'd forget about everything and get lost in the music But I'm not a kid anymore and I'm feigning a salary It's time to stop imagining and make my dreams a reality (Chorus) Cause I've always had a fantasy of rappin' a masterpiece And performing in arenas that are packed to capacity Having control of the crowd with fans standing up out their seats With my name on banners hanging over railings and balconies Cause I have a strong commitment and devotion to rap That's why I give my full attention when approaching a track And when performing live I'll make sure that my flow is intact Regardless if I'm head lining or the opening act (Verse 2) I used to be the whackest and lamest and last on your play list But now they say my tracks are the greatest and Static's their favorite I went back to the basics now they say my raps are contagious Because I went from rappin' in basements to actual stages Went from a f*ggot and brainless to a savage and dangerous I went from havin' pa**ive exchanges to smackin' in faces Now I'll go from pull out couches to relaxin' in Vegas And from being average and nameless to established and famous Yeah, all across the nation they're adoring the sound And I'm receiving kudos even when I tour outta town They're more then just loud, their screams rattle the floor and the ground And as they introduce me you can hear the roar of the crowd I've gone over all my lines and I've recited my verses Looking ahead the only thing that's in my sight is the curtains As I peak out to the stage I see the lights in the circuits Back and forth I'm pacing feeling more excited then nervous I intend to be the best and Imma strive to become it As I grasp the mic mixed emotions arrive in abundance Imma thrive under pressure while other guys gonna plummet And as the curtain draws I'm feeling bu*terflies in my stomach I finally take my first step onto the biggest of stages The stress is gone, the pressure's off, I'm spittin' lyrical statements A swarm of people's all I see no individual faces The marijuana in the air creates a visible fragrance Yeah, Static went on another rampage in the booth again Just another hit song and jam raisin' the roof again I look out into the crowd at fans blazin' and boozin' gin I see heads noddin' and hands waivin' in unison Cause my live shows have a tendency to be loud Especially when I'm feeding off the energy of the crowd If you're a real fan then this is one show you should go see Every seat is taken from the front row to the nosebleeds (Chorus) Cause I've always had a fantasy of rappin' a masterpiece And performing in arenas that are packed to capacity Having control of the crowd with fans standing up out their seats With my name on banners hanging over railings and balconies Cause I have a strong commitment and devotion to rap That's why I give my full attention when approaching a track And when performing live I'll make sure that my flow is intact Regardless if I'm head lining or the opening act
