Sticking with the mixtape theme of delving into the subconscious vs conscious battle, Dreams Don’t Die, People Do sees the rap persona deem itself important enough to be considered a complete being of its own, making departing music somewhat comparable to murder/suicide.
[Verse 1]
Skill level flowing through my pores, don't sweat it
Promised it would all workout, man I swear that I meant it
Never forgetting
Everything I been through, so transparent
At least 7 attempts, everyone of them I meant it
Severed several connections, betrayal a close call
Off the hook steeze, tryna keep to myself antisocial
Be done as I said
Ever since birth everyday a regret
Imprisoned in my mind, feel like I was sentenced
Typos in my NDA, try not to spread it
Excel, my ex's well
Still tryna figure out what I did wrong while in jail
Talk through the bars, man I'm in hell
I'm no dumb angel, man I never fail/fell
[Chorus]
We look to the sky
Promised one day we'd all be fly
But if it's between you and I
Just know I can't let a dream die
[Verse 2]
Robbing you of happiness til your E-go go
Never run dry, always fly, on my seagull flow
Your G O-D 'd, not one eye blinked dude?
Better hope my eyes blink when these shots aimed at you
Never change,guess I just outgrew a thing or two
I'd fuck with who they bow to but I could never trust him
I am the bomb, like misrepresented Muslims
Shots fired since I came through from hell
The truth in it's purist form, no Perfect Cell
Coz your career could Go on it'd never beat me
Just a softie inside, but like the devil's number on repeat
Paradox, all in paradise, grab a pair of dice
Roll outta here with that shit, just a bunch of snake eyes
Ain't nothing nice, shit I shoulda died thrice
Tough cat, nine lives
You a fake bitch with some fake pride
And I'm the mane/man here/hair
Try and shut me down, use to the pain/pane no closed Windows over here
Absorb every blow, they still think I suck
Never cared enough to listen, celibate mindset, still don't give a what
2 shots from 2 Glocks, that's death 4 ya
Sex/6 to fix all of your problems, ain't/8 that a royal
Screw up, but that's something humans do ofTen
Dwelve into it deeper
Fought in all these wars, he a peace seeker
Six teens guarantee at least one of them concealing their true face
Ate in all of these places already, so same shit to swallow just a new day
[Chorus]
We look to the sky
Promised one day we'd all be fly
But if it's between you and I
Just know I can't let a dream die
