Dreams are still alive 

They don't ever die 

Close your eyes and imagine it right now 

We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning 

Staying clear of the lies 


I wasn't suppose to be here, compose and flow here 

Perform for your ears saying ah yeah's 

My dream was to skate, Cali calling my name 

Who'd a thought my foot would break, me limping in pain? 

I ate my own pride, when I started to rhyme 

Mamma told me ye got to grow up can't skate all your life 

Picture me history is shaping me sifting me, 

Changing me to a man, Xing out all my plans 

Not what I wanted my dreams was so different 

I deal with what I'm giving not trying to be him or him 


Dreams are still alive 

They don't ever die 

Close your eyes and imagine it right now 

We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning 

Staying clear of the lies 


I used to fantasize a lot about what I don't got 

Chick on my arm even a necklace with a cross 

I didn't have money, No dad and only mommy 

To raise two kids, even my toes looked funny 

I thought I missed out when really I'm on clouds 

I did my work while all my friends went out 

I didn't party much I think I touched drugs once 

My buddies all laughing at me about that Christ Jesus stuff 

Now if you seen us how the cards of switched hands 

They sleep at their parents while I'm living in first class 

Every night I'd always pray to God for tomorrow 

Who'd thought I'd be married lying next to a model 

Crazy how I elevated everyday celebrating 

Dreams do come true exercise patience 


Life is kind a bitter ain't it, it's full a pain and changes 

Parking tickets that tick us off and leave you tainted 

Heart pumping, your thinking of jumping 

Devils hunting don't do it cousin 

You don't know what is forth coming 

Brighter days a higher raise 

Light the fire play the game 

Regroup or hide ye face 

That's why I'm authentic that's why ye need effort 

Credit is deserved, I re-worked my world 

If everything worked out the way I first wanted 

I'd a married the wrong chick and I'd been stuck think 

Life's embarrassed ye, laughed and stared at ye 

In the end it only builds up your character 


You know what I'm saying man, everybody's got an opinion in this industry 

You got to just do what you know, don't let know one tell you nothing, hold on to your dreams and feel it go for it
