Lyrics

I got a dream to chase...

I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

I got a dream to chase but honestly I'm stressed

Some of my previous content was nonsense

Wrote countless lyrics and I've wasted many concepts

For what? As a rapper I'm not makin' any progress

But that's what's gonna happen when you rap and half-ass it

Writing classics in your classes not caring if you pass 'em

Cuz your passion is rappin' but your past shit was lackin'

All that abstract pizzazz that's attractive to the masses

When I rap I get laughed at more often than back pats

The public won't fuck with my substance, I'm HAZMAT

I'm jumpin' from ass last to first place like fast pass

I'll rise up and crash fast on C-Span, I'm NASDAQ

I know I can do it, I finally make music that I'm proud to say is mine

I'm focused on some new shit,

I know that I'm a nuisance when I flow with my emotions but

I'm growin' and hopin' you notice my improvements

I'm hopeless at the moment, that makes me act stupid so

Thanks to those who have my back as I rap through it

It's true I'm just a poet trapped in a rap movement but

I choose to make the most of that so let me add to it

Cuz I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

I got a dream to chase, it's time to chase the dream

In my basement making beats to lay with brainy schemes

I don't need the fame, I don't even need to make a G

I just need a couple fans who say that they relate to me

I'ma fill 'em in so they can see, a filament, so they can see

Like fillings in decaying teeth I'm fillin' in the vacancy

I feel an inspiration when my feelings infiltrate and then

Fulfill it on some paper when I'm feelin' innovative

I'm a villain in his native land, tryin to gain a fan

Made a plan, it failed, I'm willing to give fate a chance

I'm spittin' different, no more dissin' women

No more talks of slittin' wrists or chasing distant wishes

I'm a changing man

My memory's insane,

Remembering lyrics that I cleverly arrange

Then I test 'em to perfection like, every single day

There's this echo in my brain,

Since I entered in this game

I have never been the same

I been stressin, obsessive, infected with the plague

It's best to just embrace it cuz I'm destined to be great

My quest is to be labeled as a legendary staple

When I'm dead and buried laying in a cemetery grave!

Cuz I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

My quest is to be labeled as a legendary staple,

My quest is to be hateful less, instead be very grateful

My quest is to be stable but my head is rarely able cuz

I'm mentally deranged, I'll get the Mary Jane and

We'll end this wary pain with the lemonberry strain

I'll get high then spit these words to show my message carries weight

Every bar serves to treat you like a Lemonberry chain

I'll be spread through generations like hereditary traits

I was suicidal, clinically depressed, barely sane

Thought I'd never see my 30s like the February dates

But I turned my life around and made a necessary change

Keep moving forward towards my goals ahead like Harry Kane

On the Spur of the moment, I keep it goin'

With my Arsenal of bars alone I (Barcelona)

Surely make a worthy opponent

Got a heart so full of artful soul

It's dark and cold and has a grisly center,

Marc Gasol

My flow's incredible as Marvel's Hulk

So when Martians walk Earth

Cuz Mars dissolved

I'll retire as a legend like Marshall Faulk

And leave with both middle fingers up,

Marcus Hall

Because I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

I got a dream to chase, I'm droppin' outta Cleveland State

Fuck accounting, I got songs to write and I got beats to make

Cuz I believe in fate, I was born to lead the way and

Make the type of music that the people will appreciate

I got a dream to chase...
