can't take my dream

yeah

i had a dream today

that i became what i set my mind to

i wouldn't have it any other way

a kid can dream can he

imagination crazy

i'm livin life like i always pictured that i would paint it

lay back just lookin' at the stars

thinkin' about what i want to be when i grow up will i?

be just like my pops who ended up living a life of regret

everyday thinkin' about a son he wished that he had met

from a child growing big and strong

and conquering my fears proving everybody wrong

even as i write this song

i wonder if i recall

any guilt left inside hoping that i right my wrongs

and so i write my wrongs and hope that they relate

today they be so quick to judge

but never know my pain

and never know my struggle just the battles that i lose

where there's defeat

you'll find the strongest person in them shoes

yeah

living out my dream knowing i broke the cycle

that i reach the eiffel

i made impossible zero tryin' to be like my idols

they said i couldn't

but i raised up from rock bottom

fightin' for that world title

today

i break these chains on me

i swear i'll never be the same again

i swear you'll never lay claim again

cause i am a free man

you can't take my dream

you can't take my dream

you can't take my dream from-

you won't take my dream from-

you can't take my

got a dream that's in me

i'm living to protect

rejection all around me

this right here i can't neglect

i never been the type to sit and wait for my respect

i spit that dope correct

and let the listeners connect

so i dream today with childlike faith

possibilities endless

i'm giving what my best is

i do it 'till i'm breathless

i swear i'm so relentless

can't no defense contest it

you have a dream go get it

so dream today

i'm martin luther king fighting for what it is i believe even if the cost is me

change in a generation

doing it so they all can see

do it for the people to see truth and who i'm called to be

only question remain will i take advantage?

will i remain the average symphony or raise the standard?

will i proclaim greatness or just run in abandon?

i be chillin' in the cloud

i think i'm never landing

look at the beauty swear there's nothing like it

sometimes the only way to change the course is to re-write it

sometimes the quickest way to freedom is standing and fighting

the passion deep inside you waiting to get ignited

yeah

so go ahead and dream let your mind free

leave them doubts in the rear-view

keep that confidence near you

let the whole city hear you

inside of you is everything you need to have a dream

today

i break these chains on me

i swear i'll never be the same again

i swear you'll never lay claim again

cause i am a free man

you can't take my dream

you can't take my dream

you can't take my dream from-

you won't take my dream from-

you can't take my dream

you can't take my dream

you can't take my dream from-

you won't take my dream from-

you can't take my
