[Chorus: Frankie Stew]
I don’t know why
I can see things but I can’t show why
I don’t wanna do it when it comes to showtime
Said I would stop I can’t I’m so high
I do the things I want to do
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
[Verse 1: Frankie Stew]
Know the reason
I can over deep it not supposed to be this
Wrote my feelings and show my secrets
I got things in my head, but I don’t know the feeling
Hold my thoughts
Cos I know I’m breathing less
Everything I’ve seen so far has been a test
I won’t look back so I still can’t regret
Jay Z's Missus to the left to the left
There’s bare things that I still can’t forget
And when I get older I wanna be the best
I have mad dreams where I fall out my bed
I guess that I learnt from the things that you said
It’s weird that I earn from the things in my head
I think that we go somewhere in the end
I hope that I go somewhere when it ends
Get me?
[Chorus]
I don’t know why
I can see things but I can’t show why
I don’t wanna do it when it comes to showtime
Said I would stop I can’t I’m so high
I do the things I want to do
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
[Verse 2]
I think all the things that you done, I done
When I make decisions I don’t make the right one
I wanna know the angle I live my life from
Right angle or the wrong one that I decide on
Don’t wanna beat myself up, I need help up
When people think they're helping I feel held up
Yeah it’s hard but, I can change
I turn my phone light off cos you light the way
Guess what I’m tryna say is this
I write down my goals and I put 'em in a list
If I don’t reach my goal then I do get pissed
I shouldn’t do
Maybe that’s the thing I should switch
On overdrive, but I don’t drive for shit
Can’t live in the past I don’t think, that I owe you
Hope one day I can show you
Even if you think I don’t know you
[Verse 3: Loyle Carner]
It could’ve been
It should’ve been
If you’d of worked harder then it would’ve been
I know the hood has been good to a couple man
Trying to make a couple grand
Lie like I couldn’t sin
I don’t remember when I couldn’t swim
I had my eyes on the deep when they pushed me in
I’ve been trying to stay afloat on this crooked whim
They lie, I’m on the outside looking in
But no one's looking out
And it’s been filling me with fucking doubt
Trying to keep the spirit in my mother’s house
Trust, the pressures always in my fucking mouth
I write the words down but yo I can’t say 'em loud
Am I lying am I bluffing now
Is it enough to simply make your mother proud?
I miss Andre 3000 what they say he’s foul
Probably just another verse never coming out
[Chorus]
I don’t know why
I can see things but I can’t show why
I don’t wanna do it when it comes to showtime
Said I would stop I can’t I’m so high
I do the things I want to do
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
Dream Factory was written by Loyle Carner & Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn.
Dream Factory was produced by Harvey Gunn.
Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn released Dream Factory on Fri Feb 28 2020.
This was the last song we made for the album, after the Christmas break we got back into the studio and made a demo of this. Even though we were cutting it fine, we knew we had to include it in the album.
We’ve been trying to make a collab work with Loyle for a little while now, and as soon as we made Dream Factory we knew he was perfect for it. We got the verse off him, signed off the mix, and the whole album went to master the next day.
Our studio has the nickname ‘Dream Factory’ so had to call it that
