Nowadays I'm out of town and always miss it
Nowadays I'm in the booth and always spittin'
Depictin' all my pain in these songs, number two on my fingertip
Writin' all these wrongs, thankin' God for another day
(It's been less sun and more rainy days)
I'm just chasin' a dream, tryna make it a reality
And hope I wake up and it don't fade away
Yeah, but with the mic, man, I'm Mike Jordan
Half these cats' rims is fake, I swear they all forgin'
Industry full of traps, I won't fall for it
Fake smilin' and handshakes, but no, it's not cordial
Ain't made bread, but we still gon' toast
Envisionin' success, it never seemed so close
(I got my head in the clouds, my feet on the
Ground
I hope when I die, my songs is alive)
'Cause that's how it's gotta be, right?
Yeah, and everybody got a dream, right?
So many things, wish that I could rewind
This is all from the heart, it ain't no nursery rhyme
And I'm fine, when Dad left, there was no "Sorry for your loss" shit
Nowadays, ain't nobody sorry for you out here
The truth in my music got me so exposed
I keep my head above water, but I'm drownin' in these flows
And I'm gone
Tell me what you want from me
Tell me what you want from me
All I really do is dream
Hope dreams come true
Tell me what you want from me
Tell me what you want from me
All I really do is dream
Hope dreams come true
Yeah, every day I'm havin' different dreams
Every day I'm seein' different things
Everybody wishin' you the best
Until they see you doin' much bigger things
Mama raised me on her own
Forever I'm indebted to her
Told her, "Tell me everything you want
Give me two years and I'ma get it for her"
Yeah, man, this lifestyle crazy
Losin' track of days and meetin' people on the daily
Showin' up to venues and promoters wanna pay me
Yeah, man, they never used to pay me, yeah
(I'm surprisin' all my peers
They hopin' that I make it
But
When I had my first show
They said they couldn't make it)
Yeah, I ain't mad at 'em, shit
Same circle that's from day one
All these haters see the progress
And they know they can't say nothin'
They takin' shots with the safety on
I'm never worried 'bout what they be on
Yeah, this music got me feelin' better
If I had one wish, I would wish they won't forget us
And I'm gone
Tell me what you want from me
Tell me what you want from me
All I really do is dream
Hope dreams come true
Tell me what you want from me
Tell me what you want from me
All I really do is dream
Hope dreams come true
