chasing down a dream

i don't really care what they say about me

i'm sleep when i'm dead and gone

i'm chasing down a dream

a dream

a dream

i'm chasing down a dream

i'm chasing down a dream

i been rapping since i was talking

running since i was walking

grabbing the microphone from the stand like my daddy taught me

watching the vmas with my brothers jealous of justin determined

to change my nothing into a whole lot of something

the hard work pays off

my days long

had to find a way to make the bass strong

i make great songs

no kreayshawn

impatient i ain't tryna wait long but

i take time to perfect it they offered me deals but i reject it

they want my soul

creative control

and 60% of everything that i'm repping nah

i got these billion dollar dreams that i've been chasing

studio in the basement

producing shit that's amazing

they ain't help me

call me selfish

all they wanna do it take it

it's for my love of the game

it ain't about just being famous

i'm a get there or die trying

i'm a product of my environment

music's in my blood

it's on my mind when i close my eyelids

wake up then it's back to grinding

no 9-5 but i tried it

i just wanna be the voice you hear every time that you're riding

so

my lil' brother 'bout to be 16

new whip i got you

my older bro be promoting shows

take him on the road

give him a job too

my other brothers both talented

that's a platform to get their own shine

my lil' sister fall in love quick

with these dumb kids and their young minds

i wanna take 'em all on a vacay

make sure they ain't broke for a week 'til payday

i got a girl back home

damn i wish she'd ignore the things that they say

my cousin's all straight

i want to take my best friend out the hood

make him give away his ak

my momma ain't one for the drama

i'm a make sure she ain't gotta payment a day late

my dad'll be my dj

every beat akt. make will be on replay

my cousin is a reckless driver

i'm a get him a dope whip to tear up the freeway

and wtf be the clique

i'm a get a big bus so we can mob together

give 'em a job whatever

it ain't a prob whenever

see all my songs be better

we going hard forever

and

as for me

i just want to say i made it

bring all my real people so i'm not around no fake shit

put me on the a-list

music on that replay list

filling the faces of anyone who doubted me or hated so
