I'm scared of a dream deferred
I woke up from a nightmare, all the screams I heard
Can't be sheepish and sleeping cause you gotta lead the herd
If I'm jumping the moon, hope I land on the earth
Just like I planned at first, growing up playing at church
Thinking 'bout playing arenas and hoping they pay what I'm worth
Hope what I'm saying is sacred and making 'em wanna get paid
Know too many that ended up lying inside of a grave
But I really was closer to Drake than loading the drac'
I ain't made it, but trust me I know I'm supposed to be great
Got my foot in the door, I will not lay a toe on the brakes
Never slow on the pace, gotta roll with the wave
Feel like Ronald Reagan, nigga now I'm controlling the race
And you knew that I'm chose
From ramen noodle dinners in the trenches chicken soup and some toast
In a street full of concrete, nigga grew up a rose
What could they do with my flows?
Look how I'm moving these shows
Niggas be claiming that they are the one but they superimposed
All of that cappin' been catching up boy you done grew in the nose
Maybe the truth get exposed, get out or you get disposed
Never got high, but I hope that I ain't gettin used to the lows
And if I do, then I'm froze
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
It's all because I dream big
I dream big so ima have it all
I dream bigger when I'm feeling small
Break the ceiling, kicking down the wall
(Hey, yeah, yeah yeah)
I dream big so ima have it all
I can't let em stop me not at all
They will never see a nigga fall
(Hey, yeah, yeah yeah)
