The inevitable dream
Closer than it seems
Close your eyes and envision
The minute you're timid
Open them what you see? (What you see?)
The inevitable dream
Dozed off sleeping in my lucid dream scheming
Seeking the very purpose of my being
Could this music be my calling as I see it?
Should I pursue my passion whats my reason?
I'm indecisive
They gon' talk you down strip what you believe in
See it through if nobody buy your record so be it
This is my only option the rest to me is nonsense
They can't relate when you're speaking, why bother?
Hungry days lonely nights under the park fountain
Pull up your sleeve reach deep and start counting
Stealing others dreams countless wishes it seems
Close your eyes and wish for forgiveness, I mean
I was raised different dropped at the orphanage
Both siblings
With no records to show our origin born infants
Contemplate why mama chose to distance
With false hope that she'd visit her children its been a minute
Now I'm way into my adolescence the plot thickens
Refugee status with a plane ticket, shifted
Half way across the world on a mission I learned
You don't need their presence when you're gifted
Stay committed
To them 3 AM sessions connecting words I scrabble
Remanence on rainy days I hid under cut out cardboard
Knowing one day I'll sign my deal the crowd scream encore
'Fore i blow my wish into the fountain, what I ask for ?
The inevitable dream
Closer than it seems
Close your eyes and envision
The minute you're timid
Open them what you see? (What you see?)
The inevitable dream
I got dreams
Dreams of being established
I got dreams
Dreams of being a known artist
Dreams of early dismissal out of campus
Drop out of college and follow the inevitable
Thats my passion
Young and naive with a potential of a Dream
That one day I'll fill arenas and pay off my college fees
Welcome to your last semester, its no pressure
I was gifted with the music like a grade with no effort
This for all the hungry nights we stay starving
For all them all nighters sleep is not an option
Full of doubt still you push through it all regardless
They hate what you possess cause they don't got it
He's on a mission of course it's live in the basement
Park the pen on paper do you see the results?
Illmatic's Nas "The World Is Yours" caressing my thoughts
Many attempts to replicate a modern version of god's
Poetry that's a part of me, Nasty Nas pardon me
Flipping through my book of rhymes it ain't extensive as yours
As I connect the dots I search for inner support
Don't hold back nothing show them no remorse
Don't pray on my down fall when I have yet to make it
Pray for my success and hope it's contagious
Here's my pain flip the chapters for the offering
There is no moral to my story when I author it
