文本歌词

Check it out 1 2 hey yo
hey yo
I came a long way
since back in the day
From a teenager trying
to make a rap in this way
Ever since I was a kid
I had something to say
Rocking mics was a dream
I didn't care about pay
I sacrificed late nights
and going out with my friends
Just to stay home alone
with my pad and my pen
Had my eyes on my prize
my mind on my goal
As I carved these rhymes out
with my hear and my soul
I didn't have a CD
all I had was a tape
On the dole thru my flow
was my only escape
From a world where
they didn't wanna see my prevail
Didn't wanna see me take it all
They'd rather see me fail
Its like
I was down and out
Struggling
Wondered how I'm gonna make it thru
I got a dream I got a dream
Holding old I'm gonna hold on
I can't let go
'cos I gotta make it come true
Hey yo
I got a dream to
make it big in New York
Give up the dr*gs and alcohol
I didn't want to distort
My vision to be living life
to the full
And I wouldn't of made it
if it wasn't for you
You picked me up every time
that I fell
When I was going thru hell you
told me that I would prevail
You said I had exactly
what it took to be great
That I was young and in the future
would a man I would make
Its like you saw something in me
I couldn't see
You said I would succeed and be
anything I wanted to be
I'm 23 and I just wanna be me
Wanna be free
Wanna be everything I can be
But I don't have many choices
Can't afford to be wrong
All I do is try to stay true
to the words of my song
Just don't hesitate and wait too long
'cos like a dream
when you wake up its gone
its gone
I was down and out
Struggling
Wondered how I'm gonna make it thru
I had no money in my pockets
I got a dream
all I had was a pad and a pen
Holding old
that's all I ever needed
I can't let go
'cos I gotta make it come true
Hey yo
It was a sunny day
and we were feeling high
Jamming the song underneath
the baby blue sky
Thinking 'bout in the time
when we were so poor
'Member the kids used to laugh at
the clothes we wore
We always knew one day
that things were gonna change
And from that day
I was never gonna be the same
I went to sleep that night
I dreamt I touched the sky
And ever since I've been trying
to keep my dream alive
So when you see this Scribe
dropping the Ill'ed rhyme
To find how I'm living mine in
this day and time
I'm working 9 to 5
I'm slaving over beats
Its hard work living the dream
I hardly ever sleep
I'm in the rhythm deep
Yo just trying to do my thing
Its funny when you shine
and people hate to see the gleam
No matter what they say keep on
doing what you do
And don't give up
'cos only you can make
that dream come true
Its like
I was down and out
I was way out
Struggling
Wondered how I'm gonna make it thru
I got a dream
Holding old
I can't let go
'cos I gotta make it come true
I was down and out
Wonder how
I got a dream
I won't let go 'cos I got
