Chuma wrote this song to introduce himself, his EP and his life.
He then continued to reveal his journey on life and how he has come to understand it.
He explains that this track was supposedly written to foreshadow ‘dreams’ as the concept.
Dreams is metaphorically used to make people realize that...
Verse 1:
Growing in the hood is like you in out
Capping is really all I'm about, I'm skipping class without a reasonable doubt
I'm coming home so messed, growing up no spouse, daddy left so momma on drought
Outta cash
When I was young I never had friends
Stuck in the house knowing damn well my patience won't last and that's facts
Momma tryna put me on test, doing her best to protect me from the things that won't last
Chuma Sompeta came from the hood, in Nyanga East
We shared everything but relationships were bitter sweet
My first kiss was grade 6, Momma wasn't happy, had a lil talk and she commented on my first hit
It's amazing knowing the woman that raised me
2 babies on her own but never complaining
Congratulations to the mothers that have that patience
Doesn't amuse me but life is trashy you better save me
Hook:
If you fall, never cry
Just stand tall and we will rise
What a surprise, we should all unite
Dreams are there, tell me are you alright?
Verse 2:
Listen
High school was the main attraction
A bunch of kids placed in an area where they created factions
I'm really happy that I met the people that I know
And not to mention all the people that to let go
Times, really times I've spent
Thinking about how life works, the boxes that we never checked
Thinking how easy for society to just reject
Really knowing nothing about the people that we neglect
Tragic, really tragic
My hate towards the leaders of today is not in absence
Dreams are collapsing
Time is elapsing
Compassion, do what you love no need for questions
I only like her if she into fashion
And if she catholic that's fantastic
I'm sorry if come up as very sarcastic
I'm savage but I'll love her with a passion
Hook:
If you fall, never cry
Just stand tall and we will rise
What a surprise, we should all unite
Dreams are there, tell me are you alright?
