[Intro: José James, Kid Humphrey]
Are we gunna do adlibs now or?
She appeared, she appeared, in my life
Like a dream
She appeared, yeah, in the distance, welcome back man
Like a prayer, I had
[Verse 1: Kid Humphrey]
Uh, yeah, so I’m just trapped inside my head
Sittin’ in this room until they come and find me dead
Collectin’ all the raps, watch the paper start to pile up
I rocked a gold watch just to try to get my style up
And for a while I was wonderin’ where my money went
Lookin’ at the drugs does that cover all the money spent
Runnin all the numbers ‘til I’m numb under my covers
And I do this for myself and my thoughts of all my brothers
I’m dedicated and I’m tryin to make my way
By getting paid up off the tracks that me and my team have plans to make
So I sit inside the studio and do a thousand takes
And I’m always on the job I’m too afraid to take a break man
If you’re a rapper then I guess that I’m an artist
Cause you’re claiming that you’re closer but you’re actually the farthest
I’m never sleeping, I just stay awake always
Made a mixtape and tried to sell it in the hallway
For what it’s worth I guess my life is fear and loathing
Walk into my school, smell the smoke still in my clothing
It’s the same dude, skin infused, with these tattoos
So I stay inside my studio and learn to play the blues
You try to tell me that I need to get my life right
Trapped inside the dark I kinda wish I had a night light
Give me time man I gotta get my fuckin’ mind right
Taking aim on the game got it in my sight lines
[Chorus: José James, Kid Humphrey]
Baby just set my body free, yeah
Make me free, yeah, to love, welcome back
Make me free, (color wheel), to know
[Verse 2: Kid Humphrey]
I wake and ponder with some thoughts about my brothers
And the memories I have from the times when we were younger
Promised to myself and more importantly my mother
That I plan to change my life with the use of all this color cause
If i can spit one maybe make you see a vision
The chance of raising fans could help my team among its mission
Wishin’ us well my pennies drop into the wishin’ well
I pray upon a shooting star then go and give them hell
And it’s the fatherless we never even bothered with
The bueller of the family and maybe that’s the problem with
The couple kids that’s skipping class
Thinking why you ditch me dad
But they’ll never understand the kind of kids they could of had
But now I know, exactly who I need to be
To focus on my flows to help my future and my family
And if you plan to see the rise of me and all my team
Just know I’m on my way to living life just like a dream
(Like a dream x 8)
[Chorus: José James, Kid Humphrey]
(Like a dream x16)
Baby just set my body free
Make me free, to love
Make me free, to know
How it feels
[Outro: Willy Wonka]
Hold your breath, make a wish, count to three
Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look, and you’ll see
Into your imagination
