Let's dream, c'mon They tried to tell me in school that I was a lost cause 'Til I dropped out in my second year as a sophomore The teacher, principal, and guidance counselor Pretty much told me I wasn't shit with nothing to be proud of I was young and introverted, figured that I'd get murdered Before the age of twenty five, shot in the street, I probably deserved it Confidence low, all in my feelings man Could probably solve it all with a rope and a ceiling fan I needed guidance, some love, a little healing man Turned to the most high, every night I was kneeling man Dear lord I know I'm nobody's victim Gimme the strength to love my brothers, not fall with them Getting killed or locked behind bars in the system Shot in the back by the cops before they frisked him Nah, I got bigger dreams baby, nothing works like hard work, I'm ready I'mma hustle, I'mma bleed for my dream Or die trying, but while i'm alive i'mma strive by any means If I lose sleep reaching for my dream It's well worth it, I'll make that back, the grind ain't perfect Some of my brothers stopped pursuing their dream Now they're a bunch of critics and haters, gossiping naysayers Sideline groupies couldn't be me I'mma push it 'til my tank's on E, or I arrive where I'm destined to be Back before I was wise, underexposed Couldn't put words to the bullshit around me, the friends I chose Preferred robbing and stealing, leveling up, that wasn't appealing Some of them got jail time through the ceiling I'm feelin' like the young oddball Seeing my dudes in and out of prison, this street shit, where does it stop y'all? That was my question whenever the block would tempt me 'Cause I'm broke and I'm black, already two strikes against me A wrong move could put me down a quarter century Easy decision fam, that math's just elementary I been a hot spitter since three's company John Ritter Boy genius, stickin' his beef to the babysitter Before my time's up I'll squeeze the last drop of juice out of this life without standing in that police lineup Sorry, not sorry Catch me on the rooftop in the infinity pool at the after party I'mma hustle, I'mma bleed for my dream Or die trying, but while i'm alive i'mma strive by any means If I lose sleep reaching for my dream It's well worth it, I'll make that back, the grind ain't perfect Some of my brothers stopped pursuing their dream Now they're a bunch of critics and haters, gossiping naysayers Sideline groupies couldn't be me I'mma push it 'til my tank's on E, or I arrive where I'm destined to be Everybody can't be a rapper and actor Or ballplayer with a contract, a recipe for disaster Tryin' to get this money easier and faster But it's a trap, the legal system's a slave master We in the hood, face to face with easy options Get high, play ball, write raps, or pistol poppin' Cops watching us one by one leaving us boxed in Locked in, ain't none of us got a Johnny Cochran on speed dial Look to the most high for guidance Live out your potential, bust ya ass, and work hard 'til you stunt on these bums, properly stylin' Make your lane, get happy or die tryin' Family and friends won't take you serious, won't support ya Self-doubt lingers like a solitary torture Patience, persistence, consistent, applied pressure makes all of the difference Let these suckas bear witness I'mma hustle, I'mma bleed for my dream Or die trying, but while i'm alive i'mma strive by any means If I lose sleep reaching for my dream It's well worth it, I'll make that back, the grind ain't perfect Some of my brothers stopped pursuing their dream Now they're a bunch of critics and haters, gossiping naysayers Sideline groupies couldn't be me I'mma push it 'til my tank's on E, or I arrive where I'm destined to be
