Keep coming on that, Uhn
[Chorus]
Holdin on to dreams
Are you really what it seems?
Or am I a little uh uh uh...
Are you really that convenient for me
Or am I just long long lost...
Holdin on to dreams
Are you really what it seems?
Or am I a little uh uh uh...
Are you really that convenient for me
Or am I just long long lost...
[Verse 1]
Hey yo, she said she was a troubled soul
I was on my way to work
She had the type of smile
And eyes that made me act on high alert
I used to talk to her
Our conversations were business and development
And that made me wanna hit it
But I didn't know how to tell her that, a local girl
I knew her from around the way, your mutual friends
I think that she was under the impression
That good things come to an end
And so was I
Making my mark as a producer and MC
Still a little egotistical to girls, I was very friendly
But they didn't know the real me
She was genuinely interested
And when I broke her heart
I think that you can make the inference
That I wouldn't ever win again
I gave up everything I had
I'd even give up rap and songs
I got to apologize to her dad
But yo, I'mma keep it real
I'm tryna have you in that benzo
Even though we ain't speaking
I see that we're still friends on venmo
But I can't pretend no
I ain't perfect, I ain't worth it
I'm probably just gonna keep doing me
And make these songs to serve a purpose
Of freein' my mind
And finally get my ass up outta that bed
I was sick in the head for, and honestly I still am
But yo, I gotta get on this train
I gotta get this money
And I'll be damned if I'mma let my emotions
Take opportunity from me
[Chorus]
Holdin on to dreams
Are you really what it seems?
Or am I a little uh uh uh...
Are you really that convenient for me
Or am I just long long lost...
Holdin on to dreams
Are you really what it seems?
Or am I a little uh uh uh...
Are you really that convenient for me
Or am I just long long lost...
[Verse 2]
If you don't like my music
Then that's probably fine
Cause what you don't realize
Is that this is way more than a rhyme
This is my therapy, my soul
My blood, my life and my death
My remembrance, my livelihood
My heart and my breath
The only thing that mattered to me
She know who she is
And when I get that chance to tell her again
I'mma make sure that she hear me
I'll speak it clearly, I fucked up
The fact that you'll even call me back
Means that I lucked up
But I go back and forth from wantin' to knuckle up
This dude that you've been puckerin' up
But I know I'mma make peace with you
No matter how long it takes
Cause my heart bleeds for you
And that is not a mistake
There's bigger forces here and I know it
So we can take this break
I'm straight, I'll be alright
And I know you're doin' okay
Cause life goes on, life goes on, uh
Life goes on, life goes on, yeah
Life goes on, life goes on
[Chorus]
Holdin on to dreams
Are you really what it seems?
Or am I a little uh uh uh...
Are you really that convenient for me
Or am I just long long lost...
Holdin on to dreams
Are you really what it seems?
Or am I a little uh uh uh...
Are you really that convenient for me
Or am I just long long lost...
[Outro]
And if I never get to see you again
Still wish you the best
Cause if I'm alive, that mean that I'm blessed
And if we alive, we gon' get through the stress
Yes, yes...
