[Intro, spoken]
|
The world fears a person with a dream.
|
Because to have a dream gives you the ambition to wanna fulfill wanna that dream
|
And if you live your life fulling that dream, you're gonna glow man.
|
Because there¡¯s a magnificence in the moment that comes with fulfilling you dream that you can't achieve being a part of someone else's
|
|
[Hook]
|
Follow your dreams no matter what people may say.
|
They gonna talk they gonna front they gonna hate at the end of the day its between you and God cause you know what it takes
|
|
Follow my dreams and get right back down, two steps forward three steps back round.
|
They keep pulling, I'm pushing, I'm shoving, they showing no love - oh God I need you right now
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
You got famous your love came back up, that's insane
|
The same as you must be to be in this game
|
In this game you suffer, hit strangers
|
Like Usain you bolt towards your dream
|
But haters speak disdain
|
Know my name and your name
|
But one thing's for sure man
|
Success is a sickness and there ain't no cure, man
|
Cure all is work hard and don't take no tours off
|
And even on off days you came back like you're off
|
The payoff is tenfold in dollars and euros
|
Pitfalls of vanity, pride, and your ego
|
Just let go and live up to your full potential
|
What they say is hearsay, it's inconsequential
|
But naysayers say no, but they are so simple
|
That they judge appearances and can't touch the mental
|
They are sheep, they follow shepherds of men
|
Or Malcolm, or Martin; I follow my plan
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Do it for family, but they don't believe
|
That dreams that you have can even be achieved
|
Get ready young sailor, here's rough on the seas
|
Can't let no doubt or self-pity drown me
|
It's design when you sign and the vultures appear
|
And if you should succeed, it gets worse by the year
|
But the worse curse is failure, it kills by the day
|
Watch your dreams and ambitions as they fade away
|
See, my curse is I'll verse in these verses I verse
|
Will still be overlooked like a body in hearse
|
But this Lazarus rap and this is my rebirth
|
And no paper, just my dream on verse
|
The boot lady told me she dreamed I was cursed
|
Told her, if you can't tell I returned to Earth
|
Returned to the dirt, returned to the essence
|
Cause no weapon formed that gives me a succession
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Outro, spoken]
|
I hope you've learned about the business of chasing your dreams out there.
|
I hope you're chasing your dreams 'till you're exhausted, 'till your feet hurt, 'till your bones ache,
|
and 'till you get it, you're hoping that you won't let it go.
|
I want this to be more than good music to you, I hope it's inspiration for you.
|
Chad Butler told me a few years back, "fight for your dream, Michael, like a drowning man fightin' for air."
