Lyrics

Uh, yeah
Uh, yeah
Uh, yeah
Because I can't
Uh, yeah
And I heard him say
"Don't let your dream die on the vine, CK"
Well I'm trying, but my dream feels like miles away
I don't even know the path, how will I find the way?
Before you ask me to go get a job today
Can I at least get a raise on the minimum wage?
Shoot, can we at least make it a livable wage?
Nobody knows what's going on, they pretend every day
People are too proud to admit they afraid
They talking 'bout freedom, all of us literally slaves
Then they ignore the message of how they need to be saved
Grandma telling me, "CK, take care of my grandson"
I'm really trying, but these issues, they got me for ransom
They got me for ransom, they got me for ransom, look
Uh, and I heard him say
"Don't let your dream die on the vine, CK," ayy, uh
And I heard him say
"Don't let your dream die on the vine, CK"
Well I'm trying, but my dream feels like miles away
I don't even know the path, how will I find the way?
Gotta find a way, get up and fly your way, ayy
They say people in your life are seasons
And everything that happens is for a reason
It's hard to keep going when people constantly leaving
You see 'em in the rearview and you don't wanna leave 'em
Got people grieving over bereavement
They can't break even and demons steady deceiving
Please don't receive 'em, the devil is alive, I feel him breathing
Down my neck every day waiting for me to fall
Sometimes on Earth feels like I can't trust no one at all
Sometimes the people close to you don't make very good calls
This world will wrap you in a web if you let it enthrall
And I know we were raised different
Our parents behaved different
The place that we stayed different
But we can't be saved different
No, we can't be saved different
No, we can't be saved different, no, look
And I heard him say
"Don't let your dream die on the vine, CK," ayy, uh
And I heard him say
"Don't let your dream die on the vine, CK"
Well I'm trying, but my dream feels like miles away
I don't even know the path, how will I find the way?
Gotta find a way, get up and fly your way, ayy
Uh, and I heard him say
"Don't let your dream die on the vine, CK," ayy, uh
And I heard him say
"Don't let your dream die on the vine, CK"
Well I'm trying, but my dream feels like miles away
I don't even know the path, how will I find the way?
Gotta find a way, get up and fly your way, ayy
On January 26th, 2023
My grandpa told me, "Don't let my dream die on the vine"
