[Hook: Adrian Marcel] Living my dreams like I never had a nightmare I'm ahead, I'm ahead, talking like light years I don't see the same things when I'm way, when I'm way up, when I'm way up It's hard to make it harder to stay up, stay up, stay up I've been thinking, I've been seeing, I've been learning, I've been learning Money show you how the world turning, money show Old friends say I'm different 'cause I'm earning, I'm earning What's a bridge when it's burning
[Verse 1: Dame D.O.L.L.A.] It ain't the mountains ahead that weigh you down It's the pebble in your shoe, heavy in my boots Invested in the dream now I'm living on the screen Everybody want the fruits, they say I got the juice Humble beginnings is finished now I'm making millions Funny how when tables get turned so do attendance People get entitled like loyalty come with pension My mind should be at ease, but I'm the one that [?] attention I heard my boy at the crib was talking down like (what?) Dame ain't the same, he up on cloud nine What an excuse to try give your pride a boost (sucker) I gotta cut you loose but we could call it all a truce (it's love) I hit my pops, he like \"you owe these people nothing Tell 'em what it is and it's not up for discussion You gotta stand for something or you bound to fall for nothing\" Crazy how I got it all, at times it's like I'm suffering
[Hook: Adrian Marcel] Living my dreams like I never had a nightmare I'm ahead, I'm ahead, talking like light years I don't see the same things when I'm way, when I'm way up, when I'm way up It's hard to make it harder to stay up, stay up, stay up I've been thinking, I've been seeing, I've been learning, I've been learning Money show you how the world turning, money show Old friends say I'm different 'cause I'm earning, I'm earning What's a bridge when it's burning
[Verse 2: Dame D.O.L.L.A.] The way I think is different, hard for me to pass a message (D.O.L.L.A.) 'Cause every word I speak is like a class in session I mean well but the cash in my jeans swells so they probably take offense or it might just not ring bells People I was tight with, now we ain't got much in common Thinking about the times when we ain't complete assignments Sad to think about all my friends that turned to violence, when they was showing promise I'm just paying homage I feel like a victim of success, it's lonely at the top Every accomplishment people take the drop A lot of vacant spots and struggling, I hate to watch And more money, more problems, [?] tell them right I started [?] that Jesus really the reason, I'm healthy every season and protected from the demons And gold-digging women, that's [?] all over [?] A life of cold guy game got the boy feeling anemic
