[Verse 1: Abstract]
Just a kid tryna come up fast
They said the music that I'm makin' would never last
One hundred songs deep, man, damn, look at that
Fans askin' fans, "Man, you heard of Abstract?"
I just want the whole world sayin' that they have
To go unnoticed through life just sad
Just workin' for the things that I want so bad
I just want my kids to be proud of they dad
Want 'em to know you can make somethin' of your life
Or you can follow suit, work a nine-to-five
Get a house, get a wife, it's not for me, that life just isn't right
Who remembers what you did do? Very few
There's this guy, Bob, he died yesterday
Had a job at a office, worked his life away
Did he love it? Nah, but it got him paid
You never heard of him? Yeah, I rest my case
[Chorus 1: Cher Forgeron]
I had a dream I was standin' on stage
Thousands of people, all hands raised
Thinkin' that my friends saw me out of place
It was nothing new to me, it's all I'd ever changed
[Verse 2: Abstract]
So when I make it, I want you all to know why
I don't ever want to live like that Bob guy
I wanna speak to the masses, heal 'em with my words
Show 'em no matter what happens, you can move forward
There's a new day, better things to strive for
Go against the odds, find what you're alive for
And when you have a dream, go make it reality
It's your conscious telling you what you have to be
And when you lose all the rest, you just follow your heart
It still works, even when it's torn apart
No matter what happens, it's the only way to start
And never be afraid to tell the world who you are
That's what I try to do in every single song
Show you who I am, even when I know it's wrong
'Cause in the end, that's what people relate to
Save 'em with the words you wish you would had to save you
[Chorus 2: Cher Forgeron]
I had a dream I was sittin' on the throne
People screamin' from below as I sat alone
Felt like home, and they must have known
'Cause the name they were screamin' was my own
[Verse 3: Abstract]
Yeah, that right there is my dream
Sittin' on the throne, surrounded by the A-Team
Showin' the whole world all the visions that my mind's seen
All these loopy scenes now right in front of me
On a level above doubt, no longer touchin' me
High above the screams of the people judgin' me
I know what I want, I know what it means
I worked so hard, 'cause it's meant for me
They say I'll never make somethin' of my rappin'
Well, too bad, 'cause it's about to happen
And when you're livin' that Bob life, I'll be laughin'
I'll be livin' that life you never could imagine
You never-you never could i-could imagine
You never-you never could i-could imagine
Yeah, you laughin', shit's about to happen
Saw my future in a dream, so I went and grabbed it
[Chorus 1: Cher Forgeron]
I had a dream I was standin' on stage
Thousands of people, all hands raised
Thinkin' that my friends saw me out of place
It was nothing new to me, it's all I'd ever changed
[Chorus 2: Cher Forgeron]
I had a dream I was sittin' on the throne
People screamin' from below as I sat alone
Felt like home, and they must have known
'Cause the name they were screamin' was my own
[Chorus 1: Cher Forgeron]
I had a dream I was standin' on stage
Thousands of people, all hands raised
Thinkin' that my friends saw me out of place
It was nothing new to me, it's all I'd ever changed
[Outro: Cher Forgeron & Abstract]
It's all I'd ever changed
I had a dream I was sittin' on the throne
People screamin' from below, I just sat alone
