Say something, keep a little something, what
Wake up, the future is coming,what
Everything is sacrifice
All in the pursuit of my dreams
[Hook x2]
Taking the right steps, know they're gonna like this
Ain't it always me, you hear it when I write this
Feel I'm in a dream, the dream is so priceless
Fight for it now until the minute that I'm lifeless
Life gets so cold at times
And the heat only leads us to further crimes
It's funny how it all seems so close at times
Just to fall through your fingers for like the fifth time
I write my fifth rhyme from a past life memory
Been doing this since the sixteenth century
Flow like weaponry,thrown by the heavenly god light
Take down haters of both types
Steady keeping all eyes on the only thing that matters
And keep dreaming at all times,nothing they can do or say to stop that so pass the mic
And let my homie drop that flow that goes
******* ruffians with funky grins
Breaking out of any box they try to stuff me in
Why must I begin my best course of action
When I happen to spit it like strep throat's contracting
West coast thematic and each passing away
From rapping today and passing them back from the grave
Staying out late and foregoing my studies
To recall with my buddies until it's morning and sunny
I couldn't let misfortune stun me
Stick gorgeous honeys that swore they loved me
I have no regrets if the lord's above me
On this yellow brick road I'm running, swollen bunion
Flow warm money when my business is done[?]
It's been a while since my mission begun
I'm falling down, never quit or give up
Don't trust the dial if you're picking this up
Say something, keep a little something, what
Wake up, the future is coming, what
Everything is sacrifice
All in the pursuit of my dreams
It's all in the pursuit of my dreams
I drink light, think, gripe, write beautiful things
There's so many peasants present but my crew is like kings
They keep me hungry like the days when I was new in my teens
Doing my thing now, it's a tireless effort
Connected to this music like a wireless network
I hustle every day trying to acquire this net worth
But still you got to find the respect first, so let's work
An expert, when it comes to these lines
I know you wasn't surprised
You've heard it dozens of times
Every time that brother Tunji starts at busting his rhymes
Because ain't too many dudes with appetites as hungry as mine
I'm a true artist, never spit a rhyme that's artificial
I kill the track soon as the ref fires the starting pistol
Hit the chronic trying to deal with all my chronic issues
Mama told me watch for doubters like [?]
First thing, woke up, and I saw my goals
Got up in the morning, put the world on pause
Reaching for my journal, put a pen in my palm
Jotted down words that I had in my heart
Couldn't make sense of it at the time, but that's fine
The overall feeling divine
Couple days passed, it was still in my mind
Couldn't run from it, butterflies in my stomach
Knew that it would never be the same
But if the need came, write my brain
Little boy straight acting wild
Time done passed, y'ought to know the dial
I don't want a day job, no
I want to live my life
And in this life, I'm what I choose to be
And that's just the reality, yeah
We make the most of it, with no judgement
They can say what they want, but nah **** 'em
My body's in a moment of peace
Yeah I ain't got no sleep, but I know my dreams
That's a life that I want, a life I create
That's a life that I know that you cannot fake
You want to shake, go ahead and shake your ass
As far as I'm concerned, I'm the future, you're the past, right
Say something, keep a little something, what
Wake up, the future is coming, what
Everything is sacrifice
All in the pursuit of my dream
[Hook x2]
