Lyrics

I prayed to God for this when I was hopeless
I know the sun gon' shine down on me
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now
Sittin' in the basement bumpin' beats I got off Napster
I was fifteen rappin' over other rappers' masters
Parents just divorced, so writin' songs became my backboard
And mom found another man, we ain't get along all that good
Timbs, boots and a skully, the fitted goin' backwards
People always found it funny, I ain't think it's that odd
Sellin' green but only made enough to buy the Backwoods
Didn't even like bein' high 'cause it made me act weird
Told my brodie like five months into this rap thing
I'll be bigger than 50 Cent or Lil Wayne
Got my first two hundred bucks and went and bought a chain
Just a hungry kid from Vernon tryna make a name
Eight cartons nailed to the wall with a bit of tape
Ten thousand hours is an understatement
I have went and hit the pavement ever since that day
When I picked up the mic and started sprayin'
Sayin' crazy stuff like I'm the greatest ever
All the L's I took along the way, they made me better
I know it sound cliché, but to me that's authentic
Told the world I'll make a difference with the words I pen it
When I look at what I done, I guess I meant it
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now
Everywhere we go, drop and my world start spinnin', it's goin' viral
All the sudden I'm gettin' hit up by all my idols
In a tiki bar with T.I. talkin' 'bout rhymin'
Sleepin' on them airport floors, trust me, I'm grindin'
Takin' label meetings now while I'm meetin' my driver
Used to takin' buses and trains and swingin' a hammer
Navigatin' life start to feel more like MacGyver
"Ain't this what you always wanted?" Yeah, of course, but I'm nervous
Five fingers of death, I tried to hide it on the surface
But I'm shakin' in my boots tellin' myself I'm gonna murk this
Label meetings with a bunch of people goin' over strategy
But if it don't work out in time, then I'll be useless
Dad died around the same time and I was hurtin'
But I'm so obsessed with workin' that the beats stayed loopin'
More money than I ever seen
"Ain't this what you always dreamed?"
Gotta make it happen right now or you'll lose everything
I prayed to God for this when I was hopeless
I know the sun gon' shine down on me
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now
It run deep in my blood, my daddy was from the country
So when I do, you ain't gotta ask why I'm singin' country
I'm allergic to boxes, so ain't no online shoppin'
See my story unfold like the final scene from Rocky
Had somebody ask me in the comment section
"Why you talk about your family so much?"
I told him I love my blessings
Found my answers lately, I ain't even got no questions
Millie, Maven, Gus, mom and dad love you forever
Somehow the chaos in my house make all my music better
Hear the pitter-patter footsteps in my acapellas
My homies ride in rain, hail, snow or colder weather
Gettin' money so they're the ones that I break off cheddar
Best rapper, that ain't how I wanna be remembered
A good friend, good dad, that be soundin' better
Twenty years deep, giddy up, I'm on a roll
So if you think I'm near the end, then you dead wrong
I prayed to God for this when I was hopeless
I know the sun gon' shine down on me
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now
