Dreams Beat Screams

[Intro]
Yeah, and away, 2296
Y'all know me man, sometimes I just need to vent, you know
I know y'all been listening and shit so
Hopefully you can relate

[Verse 1]
Look, been busy stressing, running after perfection
You'd think that I learned a lesson but the feelings never lessen
I've tried and I've defined myself as something destined
They surprised, never mind, I'm just focused on progression
And me coming in second is a horrible projection
Since I was like 11 I knew this was a profession
I'm confessing all to the mic, tryna help with direction
Reflecting all through the night and turning from aggression
Imperfections turned into oppressions and that's clear
So one thing's stopping the shine and that's fear
Been at it for years, [?] still ain't near
Showing emotions and knowing I'ma persevere
I'm top tier cause I jot til I top tiers
I watch peers so my spot is beyond years
Gear switched [?] torture
I'm feeling like the best, ain't a kind or a sorta cause...

[Chorus]
I remember just wishing it would pass
Now it's in the past and it don't move fast
A dream got grabbed now green's in the grass
Screams don't last, no screams don't last
Cause I remember just wishing it would pass
Now it's in the past and it don't move fast
A dream got grabbed now green's in the grass
Screams don't last, no screams don't last

[Verse 2]
Look, I was stuck and tryna stay afloat mentally
I understood reality way before it was sent to me
My life is literally like one big similie
I changed all tendencies to gather new amenities
I rose over enemies the best that I can
Like the figure we were missing, had to be the bigger man
And over my lifespan I noticed that my plans were different
At the picture would slowly start to expand
As demands got greater, it made more haters
I made more paper, now they stay wanting favors
I don't really mind, I'm a giver by nature
But then they take advantage and I notice they a chaser
Been tryna do it major as Ye
There's no diminishing the mission when the [?] mob meets with a bitter sense
I'm commonly known as the GOAT, they telling me with grins
I know in the end I'ma impact through the spins

[Chorus]
I remember just wishing it would pass
Now it's in the past and it don't move fast
A dream got grabbed now green's in the grass
Screams don't last, no screams don't last
Cause I remember just wishing it would pass
Now it's in the past and it don't move fast
A dream got grabbed now green's in the grass
Screams don't last, no screams don't last

[Outro]
And away
Gotta beat the screams
[?] dream
Cold life
We gon' be here forever
Yerr!
