Follow My Dreams

Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe

What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need

I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be

Looking for the right time to follow my dreams

Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go

Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it

No more losing sight of these visions I see

Searching for the right time to follow my dreams

Yeah I been digging out my own ditch

Shooting at my own risk

Praying that the target don't start moving so I don't miss

It's more to this game than simply saying you bored of it

You gotta feel some pain, before you say that you sure to this

But I got bills to pay, and I work, still barely affording it

401k can wait, man I'm tryna live now before that shit

20 years of life to reap all the fruits that I sowed in it

When brodie died

That there was the show of proof just how short it is

But how can I complain, when my family going through shortages

Back home in Africa, land of the richest poor in this world

Who split and drew the borders and who's in control of it?

The needy vs the prejudiced, the balanced vs the chavuanist

Can't help but wonder if I had all that

Extraordinary power in my hands, would I choose to let go of it?

End of the road I'm just a human at heart

Stuck on this path doing what I gotta do to get by

Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe

What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need

I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be

Looking for the right time to follow my dreams

Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go

Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it

No more losing sight of these visions I see

Searching for the right time to follow my dreams

Planning this life out

Sitting with mine while I scribble these flows of gold

I've been filling my notes with goals

Feel like for years I was looking for confirmation

Was fiending to know my role, now I'm getting to know my soul

Them late nights, early mornings in college recording

Putting in them hours knew for certain it's all gon be worth it

Can't no degree decide for me what's my ultimate purpose

I'ma always be searching, I'ma always be learning

I ended up, looking round me to check if I measured up

A thin line tween I'm slacking and thinking I've done enough

Too complacent, gotta leave, it's a feeling that's in my gut

My momma said, boy don't worry just drink some this 7up

But no, I gotta go, you know this life don't come with handouts

In spite of me tracing and drawing and shading these plans out, I

Could sit around just hoping for better luck

Or pull my head up out the ground, put one foot in front of the next

And step it up

I've said enough

Closer to the light, I can feel it when I breathe

What I got inside man, that's all I'll ever need

I'ma spend my life wondering what could I be

Looking for the right time to follow my dreams

Notice all the signs, second guess em 'fore I go

Hard to take my own advice, yeah I'm stubborn and I know it

No more losing sight of these visions I see

Searching for the right time to follow my dreams
