They say doing dreams is a true-life conquest
Worth every wrong decision just to see once the summit
Winter winds wrapping winners with a shell that won’t break
Entrances are lessened by lessons we learn with mistakes
 
I’m feeling more inspired with every day that I breathe
Seeing bad escape routes that cost me more than I think
I’m dreaming of a day when every decision is made well
Resting in armor, I

When I was only 19 I know my mind was no older
Chasing after pussy with friends naïve
I quit music after high school but to my surprise
My friend revived a dream I didn’t know I had inside
 
I’ll never forget being 21, stressed and awake
Late at night when I was on my bed with birds in my head
Staring at the ceiling, smoking, so stressed and crying
‘Cause I saw Chance The Rapper was the same age as me
 
I swore if I were 17 that I would go for it harder
Surely the teens were a better time for me to get started with rap
Than being a unemployed college grad
Headed out to New York for dreams that gave me a chance

And so I grabbed my black fedora and I jumped on a flight
With a little less than two suitcases that night
My friend gave me a dream again
He showed me to a room and even offered
To pay the rent for a month or two
 
When I turned 23 man I made a decision
To get clean from the things that were holding me ridden
To seek a treasured life not buried in image
But my fun became work when this honeymoon ended
 
I’ll never forgot the day I got fired from work
And I smiled and I laughed ‘cause my face kind of hurt
I felt free, finally, from this choice I couldn’t make
So I thanked my boss in a future note for guiding me this way

And even though I drifted and I drifted stuck alone unwritten
Even though three years passed - I still hadn’t hit big
Even though I never released a song or faced my fears
I still had today to fight for my dreams

I moved from place to place like a box was my friend
Until I was 26 I never found myself settled in
I’m still looking late at night to the stars through the ceiling
Never learned to manage money so the money managed me
 
And still today I’ll sit and write ‘cause it’s after midnight
And I can’t let today pass without putting up a fight
I quit my job, this time I did, to finally chase down my dream
See myself, the Avatar, on the Amway screen
 
‘Cause if doing dreams is a true life conquest
I feel like I’m own my way to living life accomplished
And for every stress I feel that pulls me from this time
I realize it’s another chance for me to sit and write
You see I have this dream to be rich and famous
But really I just wanted to say that I made it
Even if the touring gets old boring and crazy
I’d rather see the ending stale with my own eyes
Burnt, still I’d lie
 
And more than a dream I have this plan to be
The first documented Avatar on TV
Hip-Hop in the form with no stranger to arts
Adding from every sensei
Learning to every part
 
Painting this neon path in this overshadowed city
For the kids who are sitting up late night with me and wishing
Stressed and swarmed by hyper comparisons to other lives
Where they are, and where they could be
Like thieves in the night
 
I want the person who is sitting up staring at ceilings
To hear me when I’m speaking ‘cause both of us are thinking
You and I and me and you
Maybe confused, but still dreaming

I utilize my stress as an action instead
I’ve put too much thought into music there’s no other choice
So I feel bound to this destiny that’s giving me a voice
 
And it helps me to walk these dreams one step at a time
When I feel stressed I use that energy to write
And it helps me to walk one these dreams step at a time 
When I feel stressed I use that energy to write
