Waking up in a dream
|
Sleepwalking on another big stage
|
You never heard peace
|
'til you hear people scream
|
Your name and your song
|
I'm so far away
|
From the place
|
I used to be struggling usually
|
Look at the newer me
|
fate pursuing me
|
I can feel the energy in the air
|
It feel like
|
I'm supposed to here
|
Everywhere I go
|
I'm getting so much love
|
Fans the stars everyone
|
Sayin how they can't wait
|
for the LP
|
And I'm gonna blow
|
They believe in me
|
Feel so good in what you do
|
Helps somebody else get through
|
That's why I do the best I can
|
Because I know how blessed I am
|
I'm so high I can touch the sky
|
I know it's my time
|
And it's now or never
|
I shine so bright
|
I light the night
|
And it feels
|
so right ain't nothing better
|
A fool if I take it all
|
for granted
|
A smart man
|
if I keep my feet planted
|
To the earth cause the people
|
that hurt can understand it
|
You speakin' outlandish
|
I'mma show you
|
how to make it all work
|
Another plan it
|
a short term goal for me
|
A record sold for me
|
It's just more of me in your ear
|
For you to hear
|
Kendrick persevere
|
Defenses I feel relentless
|
Ambition with a clear vision
|
Takin' off I ain't takin off
|
these Pistons
|
I'm takin' off on the inner me
|
you're distance
|
Came across me
|
how much it'a cost me
|
To get you out my business
|
I set a plan
|
it's a short term goal
|
no sky is the limit
|
I'm past that now pass that
|
Award not one but four
|
Times two plus yours
|
I see myself performing
|
there Kdot
|
Sold out shows
|
where the room is packed
|
Sitting at the Grammy's winning
|
five awards
|
See myself on big billboards
|
Traveling around the world
|
with endorsement deals
|
Can't imagine how it feels
|
That's why
|
I'm smiling everyday
|
Because my dream ain't far away
|
I'm so high I can touch the sky
|
I know it's my time
|
And it's now or never
|
I shine so bright
|
I light the night
|
And it feels
|
so right ain't nothing better
|
You looking at me and
|
you tell me I'm blessed
|
Calculated my steps
|
my heart my breath
|
Breathe hums
|
of a victory and vividly
|
You see me
|
when at my best my worst
|
This verse dedicated to
|
the days that I slept
|
With a curse research
|
my paid dues I'm reimbursed
|
I burst in the crowd
|
with a voice and crown
|
I'm a King on the prowl and
|
I see mama smile
|
And I vow on the tape
|
that I'll never break
|
You can break bread
|
with me now
|
We can all take a bow
|
on the edge of the pedestal
|
Then scream out loud that
|
we made it off the avenue
|
And walked that mile
|
In the darkness I often sit back
|
And get lost in the rap
|
that I wrote
|
When you told me that
|
it spoke to your soul
|
I was talking to you
|
I was walking it
|
through every ghetto
|
Tell success hello
|
We here
|
And I'm so happy I cry
|
Cause I can't believe
|
All the things I ever wanted
|
Are finally happening for me
|
And it's so surreal
|
That I almost feel
|
That any minute I can wake up
|
From this fantasy
|
When you pray so hard
|
And you've come so far
|
And you know that
|
it's the time
|
for you lift your bar
|
And I'm gonna do it
|
Watch me
|
I'm so high I can touch the sky
|
I know it's my time
|
And it's now or never
|
I shine so bright
|
I light the night
|
And it feels
|
so right ain't nothing better
|
I'm so high I can touch the sky
|
I know it's my time
|
And it's now or never
|
I shine so bright
|
I light the night
|
And it feels
|
so right ain't nothing better
|
