[Verse 1]
I've been on a writing binge, I've been writing since
Five in the morning, and I woke up with all these lines in my head
And I've been living in this fantasy world since I was a kid
Grew up thinking it was normal until I was in
High school and realized no one cared as much as I did
Black and white notebook with my earliest songs inside it
Front to back filled with sixteens, at only sixteen
With big dreams, released my first mixtape and it seemed
As if I was unstoppable, my popularity grew
And I was getting asked to sign autographs in high school
Thinking I'm cool, yeah the whiteboy got an ego
Feeling like I could do anything I set my mind to

My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only - dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, and he was right..
[Verse 2]
Now I'm listening to my last mixtape, like this shit's straight
I just seem fixated on talking about how I'm the greatest
Rapper in this day and age, which might be true, but let's face it
Compared to Eminem and Jay Z, I'm just basic
I'm basically saying all this shit when I've barely step foot in his game yet
And maybe I'm getting ahead of myself
And I could come across cocky as hell
But I say confident shit that people can repeat
To feel good about themselves..
[Hook]
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only - dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, and he was right..
[Verse 3]
'Cause I write like it's an addiction, flipping through pages
Finishing shit from years ago that I wrote while I was still in a
State of depression, I'm over it now, but the lyrics still reflect that
Feeling I had when nothing else mattered
Except this pen and this pad, and this overactive imagination
With a little faith in the fact that anything can happen
Like man, what if blow up from rapping
And finally reach celebrity status..

And he was right, because I don't only dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only - dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, because I don't only dream at night
My father always said "You're living in a dreamworld kid,"
And he was right, and he was right..
