Back before a dollar and a dream Before I learned that life ain't what it seems It's nothing like the movie scenes Ironic how we make believe And hope it makes us free From everything Back before a dollar and a dream Before I learned that life ain't what it seems It's nothing like the movie scenes Ironic how we make believe And hope it makes us free From everything Grew up out in Cleveland With potholes and bullets screamin' Where you can see the news in person 'fore it airs this evening And we've been, just trying to make it through the weekend And hope it breaks the ice of ends meeting And then repeat it That vicious cycle had my mother stealing Medicine from stores Too young to understand, when asking her for more I guess that's what instilled in me to always settle scores While never settling for less than everything I'm destined for Just gotta manifest it Even when your patience' getting anorexic Don't bite the hand that feeds you, what about the hands requesting The biggest thing I learned in adolescence Is once you learn the rules, they add a lesson Wish I could I go Back before a dollar and a dream Before I learned that life ain't what it seems It's nothing like the movie scenes Ironic how we make believe And hope it makes us free From everything Back before a dollar and a dream Before I learned that life ain't what it seems It's nothing like the movie scenes Ironic how we make believe And hope it makes us free From everything As for the next chapters Things were bad, great and worse after Because the best hasn't occurred But, let's see what this verse captures A lot firsts' crashed and had an impact Long before I had the words to match it Imagine The type of fortresses I've built (Just laugh it off dawg) Pursue relationships and hope it starts to wilt (It just gets stagnant bro) Lose touch with everything and wallow in your guilt (You've lost your passion man) Or choose to free myself from those who let it happen, still Applying pressure 'till I'm bioluminescent And Nobody Famous counterparts are rightly isometric I never used to speak my mind so much I'd start to question Why it took so long, my guess is, how I've dialed in perfection Remembering how days went Always cashed in how the days spent With dreams much bigger than a day shift And vivid scenes outside this spaceship As I travel through the past Just in case I don't make it Back before a dollar and a dream Before I learned that life ain't what it seems It's nothing like the movie scenes Ironic how we make believe And hope it makes us free From everything Back before a dollar and a dream Before I learned that life ain't what it seems It's nothing like the movie scenes Ironic how we make believe And hope it makes us free From everything
