[Hook] I've been down, for so long But so long, does that mean I've been gone, I've been wrong But I'm going to succeed I'm aware, now I care about my surroundings 'cuz there's bigger things happening Now I'm not sleeping on my dreams Ohhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams Ohhhhh I'm not sleeping on my dreams
[Verse 1: e-dubble] '82, I was born, given life '92, I was ten, living life '93, shit don't change; I saw light When that real rap played my brain get all hyped So I'm two steppin', yeah I'm up in the place and every crew repping But they ain't got love for the Pais, (BP!) And I ain't even stepping on stage I don't mean to dissuade I just came to get blazed In any case, you know that I be bloggin' (bloggin') And I ain't even typed one word And that shit don't rhyme And that shit's upturned Still got that head nod shit that is shakin' nerds And I go!

[Verse 2: e-dubble] Yeah, yo I turned your water to wine And your wine into water It's impressive get the messes, that's some shit they ain't taught us That's the shit they ain't teaching How to argue with reason How to live up to big dreams and never decieve 'em I got my girl in the front, got my dog in the back They stuntin' all over like they ain't part of the pack We always keep calm, we like when its cool I do, I take a different path when my ass outta school I got that 1-2-3-4, arrogant tool And when it goes off it blows off the ignorant fools I ain't talking about the second amendment We can bend it and stretch it, but either way I got my mind as a weapon I can promise I don't threaten to beckon Never asking for seconds unless we all ate, pray for indigestion Hope that we can leave an impression Hope that we can dodge and [?] mannequins that are key to the blessings When I go!
