[00:18.10]Say something, keep a little something, what
[00:20.24]Wake up, the future is coming,what
[00:23.03]Everything is sacrifice
[00:25.20]All in the pursuit of my dreams
[00:28.15][Hook x2]
[00:38.05]Taking the right steps, know they're gonna like this
[00:41.20]Ain't it always me, you hear it when I write this
[00:43.04]Feel I'm in a dream, the dream is so priceless
[00:45.16]Fight for it now until the minute that I'm lifeless
[00:48.15]Life gets so cold at times
[00:50.14]And the heat only leads us to further crimes
[00:53.08]It's funny how it all seems so close at times
[00:55.15]Just to fall through your fingers for like the fifth time
[00:57.23]I write my fifth rhyme from a past life memory
[01:00.22]Been doing this since the sixteenth century
[01:03.10]Flow like weaponry,thrown by the heavenly god light
[01:06.16]Take down haters of both types
[01:08.08]Steady keeping all eyes on the only thing that matters
[01:11.00]And keep dreaming at all times,nothing they can do or say to stop that so pass the mic
[01:16.01]And let my homie drop that flow that goes
[01:19.15]******* ruffians with funky grins
[01:21.13]Breaking out of any box they try to stuff me in
[01:23.24]Why must I begin my best course of action
[01:25.21]When I happen to spit it like strep throat's contracting
[01:28.10]West coast thematic and each passing away
[01:30.10]From rapping today and passing them back from the grave
[01:33.17]Staying out late and foregoing my studies
[01:36.01]To recall with my buddies until it's morning and sunny
[01:38.20]I couldn't let misfortune stun me
[01:41.05]Stick gorgeous honeys that swore they loved me
[01:43.90]I have no regrets if the lord's above me
[01:46.00]On this yellow brick road I'm running, swollen bunion
[01:48.21]Flow warm money when my business is done[?]
[01:52.22]It's been a while since my mission begun
[01:54.20]I'm falling down, never quit or give up
[01:56.10]Don't trust the dial if you're picking this up
[01:59.04]Say something, keep a little something, what
[02:01.19]Wake up, the future is coming, what
[02:04.09]Everything is sacrifice
[02:06.12]All in the pursuit of my dreams
[02:09.21]It's all in the pursuit of my dreams
[02:11.02]I drink light, think, gripe, write beautiful things
[02:13.20]There's so many peasants present but my crew is like kings
[02:16.05]They keep me hungry like the days when I was new in my teens
[02:18.18]Doing my thing now, it's a tireless effort
[02:21.13]Connected to this music like a wireless network
[02:24.01]I hustle every day trying to acquire this net worth
[02:26.10]But still you got to find the respect first, so let's work
[02:29.15]An expert, when it comes to these lines
[02:31.11]I know you wasn't surprised
[02:32.15]You've heard it dozens of times
[02:33.20]Every time that brother Tunji starts at busting his rhymes
[02:36.10]Because ain't too many dudes with appetites as hungry as mine
[02:38.24]I'm a true artist, never spit a rhyme that's artificial
[02:42.03]I kill the track soon as the ref fires the starting pistol
[02:44.17]Hit the chronic trying to deal with all my chronic issues
[02:47.07]Mama told me watch for doubters like [?]
[02:49.15]First thing, woke up, and I saw my goals
[02:52.02]Got up in the morning, put the world on pause
[02:54.15]Reaching for my journal, put a pen in my palm
[02:57.02]Jotted down words that I had in my heart
[02:59.13]Couldn't make sense of it at the time, but that's fine
[03:02.17]The overall feeling divine
[03:04.17]Couple days passed, it was still in my mind
[03:07.04]Couldn't run from it, butterflies in my stomach
[03:09.25]Knew that it would never be the same
[03:12.15]But if the need came, write my brain
[03:15.02]Little boy straight acting wild
[03:17.07]Time done passed, y'ought to know the dial
[03:20.05]I don't want a day job, no
[03:22.15]I want to live my life
[03:25.07]And in this life, I'm what I choose to be
[03:27.07]And that's just the reality, yeah
[03:30.00]We make the most of it, with no judgement
[03:32.10]They can say what they want, but nah **** 'em
[03:35.09]My body's in a moment of peace
[03:37.09]Yeah I ain't got no sleep, but I know my dreams
[03:39.15]That's a life that I want, a life I create
[03:42.00]That's a life that I know that you cannot fake
[03:44.13]You want to shake, go ahead and shake your ass
[03:47.08]As far as I'm concerned, I'm the future, you're the past, right
[03:50.05]Say something, keep a little something, what
[03:52.00]Wake up, the future is coming, what
[03:55.13]Everything is sacrifice
[03:57.19]All in the pursuit of my dream
[04:00.14][Hook x2]
