[Intro]
Provin' people wrong's probably my favorite quality
Pro-provin' people wrong's probably my favorite quality
So ignore statistics
Have you ever had a dream? (Dream, dream, dream, dream)
Have you ever had a dream? (Dream, dream, dream, dream)
So ignore statistics
I believe in make-believe
[Verse 1]
Have you ever wanted somethin', somethin' so bad?
That you would give up every single thing you ever had
And it's only for a shot, a single opportunity
Well, that's how I feel, man, it's what the music do to me
I'm livin' on the real, workin' for the love
Followin' the feelin' that be lurkin' in my gut, I swear I'm so close
But you ain't [comin'?] successful, well almost
Learned on my own that you gotta climb your own ropes
Huh, and there's just somethin' that I hate 'bout
Gettin' judged from people who took the safe route
Get a lil' today, always had somethin' to say 'bout
All of my decisions, when, really, their life is played out
Damn, see, I ain't messin' with no pessimist (Uh-uh)
I'm trying to excel [with y'all?] can lead to excellence (Yeah)
Sit back, now you wait in your seat
'Cause every single day, I slowly make 'em believe
[Chorus]
They try to tell you no, but they don't really know
Don't let 'em bring you down, they gon' try to keep you low
But you gotta learn to grow, do it on your own
Got a ways to go, but when I finally blow
I'ma have 'em sayin'
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
And I'ma have 'em sayin'
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
[Verse 2]
You see, I'm feelin' like I'm stuck, but I know we gon' get past that
Show 'em that I'm serious, but only gettin' laughed at
They askin' where the cash at, seein' if I'm payed yet
Tryna make change doesn't mean I get a paycheck
People like to say shit, I won't let it turn me
But I know I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt me
I just learned to take it, use it as a fuel (Fuel)
Drill it in my brain, so I use it as a tool
Feelin' stupid after school, like, this ain't what I want in life
I don't ever wanna settle for an office life
That's why you catch me in the lab like pen and pad
Write down dark thoughts that help me shine like flashlight
I gotta blow, so I'm strivin' for my goals
Gotta go hit the road, never stoppin' for the tolls
Always strive for the best that you hope to be
And let me tell you that you never too old to dream
[Chorus]
They try to tell you no, but they don't really know
Don't let 'em bring you down, they gon' try to keep you low
But you gotta learn to grow, do it on your own
Got a ways to go, but when I finally blow
I'ma have 'em sayin'
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
And I'ma have 'em sayin'
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
[Bridge]
If you followin' your dreams, let me see you put your hands up high
Hands up high, hands up high
If you followin' your dreams, keep your hands in the sky
Hands in the sky, hands in the sky
If you followin' your dreams, put your hands up high
Hands up high, hands up high
If you followin' your dreams, keep your hands up (Up)
Keep your hands up (Up), keep your hands up
[Chorus]
They try to tell you no, but they don't really know
Don't let 'em bring you down, they gon' try to keep you low
But you gotta learn to grow, do it on your own
Got a ways to go, but when I finally blow
I'ma have 'em sayin'
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
And I'ma have 'em sayin'
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
They try to tell you no, but they don't really know
Don't let 'em bring you down, they gon' try to keep you low
But you gotta learn to grow, do it on your own
Got a ways to go, but when I finally blow
I'ma have 'em sayin'
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
JZAC, JZAC, JZAC, JZAC
[Outro]
