Just A Dream / Gotta Get Up Lyrics

I was used to

Looking at things from below

Did the same thing as I grow

Putting that pain in a bow

I cooked it up like it was blow

You never gonna know

What it takes to reach clouds just to float

And I quote

Not tryna read history somebody else done wrote

I been on defense for a minute

Up in the trenches they gon spin it

I swear these kids so gifted

Go the wrong way life changes in an instant

Just some infants, tryna act hard

I see these gangsters and for sure they still stuck in their ways

Sayin that we in a maze

Chasing cheese, chasing plays

Ain't no fucking rat race when that life's your catch phrase dawg

Fuck a punchline, you get smoked like ashtrays

They consume the lifestyle when they see a black face

So commodity or comedy

Or maybe it's a prophecy

That's self fulfillin

That's why I'm a villain

Man it's so appealing

It's why they search for it

Why you hurt for it

You can deep it but it always comes to surface quick

Dreams and reality, I'm in a constant battle to stay in stasis

The way I perceive things in my subconscious

I feel impervious to any resistance

I wanna sleep, but I wake at the same time, every single day

The same feeling that pushes me to drift in my mind

Is also driving me to rise and embrace my hardships

Before it's gone

Before it's gone

They tell me that I gotta get it before it's gone

I'm gone I'm gone,

I'm slipping in the flow,

If I had a dollar everytime I had to know,

I'd pick it up and travel till I did a finger roll,

You never finna grow, if you never catching Ls,

I been matching up with hell,

All the passion gone through hails,

I never thought that I was seasoned,

Who needs logic or a reason,

On Ableton trackin like a demon,

Imagined all of this in class staring at the ceiling,

They say it was written, feels like more of a show,

Every moment and minute, every problem I grow,

Got the world in my hand with my home in my palm,

Wear my heart on my sleeve and put it all in the song,

I'm gone.

Seven in the morning

I can't move

Then I hear the phone ring

Time goes slow

When I'm feeling lonely

Hold me close

Seven in the morning
