Follow My Dreams

[00:21.15] Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe
[00:23.77] What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need
[00:26.66] I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be
[00:29.36] Looking for the right time to follow my dreams
[00:32.26] Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go
[00:34.53] Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it
[00:37.80] No more losing sight of these visions I see
[00:40.44] Searching for the right time to follow my dreams
[00:43.56] Yeah I been digging out my own ditch
[00:45.35] Shooting at my own risk
[00:46.88] Praying that the target don't start moving so I don't miss
[00:49.44] It's more to this game than simply saying you bored of it
[00:52.13] You gotta feel some pain, before you say that you sure to this
[00:54.75] But I got bills to pay, and I work, still barely affording it
[00:57.31] 401k can wait, man I'm tryna live now before that shit
[01:00.58] 20 years of life to reap all the fruits that I sowed in it
[01:03.18] When brodie died
[01:03.73] That there was the show of proof just how short it is
[01:06.03] But how can I complain, when my family going through shortages
[01:08.73] Back home in Africa, land of the richest poor in this world
[01:11.52] Who split and drew the borders and who's in control of it?
[01:14.30] The needy vs the prejudiced, the balanced vs the chavuanist
[01:17.22] Can't help but wonder if I had all that
[01:18.84] Extraordinary power in my hands, would I choose to let go of it?
[01:22.58] End of the road I'm just a human at heart
[01:24.86] Stuck on this path doing what I gotta do to get by
[01:27.53] Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe
[01:29.92] What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need
[01:33.08] I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be
[01:35.50] Looking for the right time to follow my dreams
[01:38.31] Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go
[01:40.63] Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it
[01:43.86] No more losing sight of these visions I see
[01:46.26] Searching for the right time to follow my dreams
[01:50.49] Planning this life out
[01:51.62] Sitting with mine while I scribble these flows of gold
[01:53.89] I've been filling my notes with goals
[01:55.98] Feel like for years I was looking for confirmation
[01:57.86] Was fiending to know my role, now I'm getting to know my soul
[02:00.73] Them late nights, early mornings in college recording
[02:03.33] Putting in them hours knew for certain it's all gon be worth it
[02:05.94] Can't no degree decide for me what's my ultimate purpose
[02:08.87] I'ma always be searching, I'ma always be learning
[02:11.76] I ended up, looking round me to check if I measured up
[02:14.40] A thin line tween I'm slacking and thinking I've done enough
[02:17.29] Too complacent, gotta leave, it's a feeling that's in my gut
[02:20.13] My momma said, boy don't worry just drink some this 7up
[02:22.76] But no, I gotta go, you know this life don't come with handouts
[02:25.90] In spite of me tracing and drawing and shading these plans out, I
[02:29.07] Could sit around just hoping for better luck
[02:31.18] Or pull my head up out the ground, put one foot in front of the next
[02:34.82] And step it up
[02:36.18] I've said enough
[02:39.40]
[02:55.50] Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe
[02:58.45] What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need
[03:01.05] I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be
[03:03.76] Looking for the right time to follow my dreams
[03:06.57] Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go
[03:08.98] Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it
[03:12.34] No more losing sight of these visions I see
[03:14.78] Searching for the right time to follow my dreams
