lirik lagu nathan johnson - dream on
yeah
uh
nat king
yeah
feelin’ this right here
yo
yo
sittin’ back getting lost in my thoughts
get caught, dreamin’, hopin these nightmares’ll stop
ideas in my head bright enough to light up the dark
stuck in a race, tryna win but feel i lost at the start
put up a wall, a barrier tryna hide the hysteria
sayin’ history repeats, i’m tryna fall outta character
hit the gas and i’m gone, gotta escape the criteria
’cause n~ggas got it backwards like they stuck with dyslexia
i’m in
the highest regards when it comes to my peers
but when it comes to my future blessin’s rarely appear
i see heaven at the end my baby told me peer
she said one day you’ll be great, you have nothing to fear
dodge the date that i’m destined with bourban and smith and wesson
i hold tight to my pen and my pad, my greatest of weapons
inna war with the voices, tryne battle depression
meanwhile prayin’ that god’ll forgive my transgressions
n~ggas dyin’ to live but also livin’ to die
instead of shooting each other, we need to shoot for the sky
just the wishes of a young black boy horrified
witnessin’ death and despair when he opens his eyes
yeah
but i dream on
(push my pride to the side let the music ride)
but i dream on
(cause i know one day what i want is mines)
yeah
yeah
broke boys till end of my livin’
’cause i spent my whole life tryna make me a k!llin’
money issues have me stressed gotta make ends meet
it’s like a test,only difference is there’s no cheat sheet
and my teacher had to dip ’cause he couldn’t provide
and substitutes could never see the world from my eyes
maybe we all have our reasons, that’s why i keep to myself
’cause feelings change with every season, just be true to yaself
heart as cold as the winter with bars as hot as the summer
when i spring into action, haters fallin’ in numbers
i been at it for years, pourin’ my soul in these lines
blood, sweat and the tears, just hope i’m changing some lives
had to live through tough times, some of the coldest of nights
many christmases passed where we ain’t put up no lights
santa neva visits kids who ain’t privileged in life
so i assumed being broke was bad as taking a life
but growin’ up i’ve realized we all come from the bottom
all of our differences are different but we have that in common
i say ignorance is bliss, intelligence is a curse
and although money is a gift sometimes it makes things worse
i stay weary of my demons tryna keep ’em at bay
’cause i’m afraid that i’mma change as soon as i’m paid
i guess it comes with the territory and trust that i’m ready
’cause i been scr~ppin’ too long to not have earned every penny
i’m here
but i dream on
(push my pride to the side let the music ride)
but i dream on
(cause i know one day what i want is mines)
yeah yeah
but i dream on
(push my pride to the side let the music ride)
but i dream on
(cause i know one day what i want is mines)
yeah yeah
uh
i just wanna thank everyone for going on this journey with me
helping me find myself again
thanks for sticking around
it’s only up from here
but always remember, whenever you feel lit you can always dream on
