Track 5 of Memoirs of a Cincinnati Maniac.
This track captures Terrell splitting a song into two parts:
One talking as if he’s made his dreams come true (DREAMS)
The second one bringing everything back to perspective (REALITY)
[Verse 1]
Said I had a dream
And no niggas could touch me
They wanna discuss me
Getting up in the ranks like I'm lucky
But nah this wasn't luck at all
I just wasn't gonna fall
I've done it all
And damn nigga I made it
I prayed it would happen
And before long I made the song of my career
At first I feared it'd never happen
Played out just the way I mapped it
You know they say that you can make it if you got the passion
Hard Work goes with it
Shouts to all those that offended me
I'm sitting on my pedestal with all those that defended me
I told them all that we gone make it in the end, you'll see
Flights from here to Rome, I'm gone and never home
But when I am that's shits a party
And those moments don't last long
Only good as your last song
But that shit can't be true since one hit wonders always fall off
They calling me the ball hog
Got every top spot and I ain't passing them to who's next
Gotta work to be the best
Mafucka, put that work in
Every album platinum
Niggas wanna work with me and I never get back to em
A verse for a verse, just ain't an even trade to me
Could show em the truth, but that's what they all hate to see
And lately I couldn't give a fuck what they could hate from me
Too late to see what could've happened if I let the bullshit get to me
Honestly and truthfully, I got a booth to be at
Making money and moves, that money go where we at
I embody hip hop and I'm just hitting my pinnacle
In this pivotal approach, you cannot say it's a miracle
No subliminals, the principle, I'm tryna get biblical
I'm a God to these imbeciles
Original oh so mythical
They wish this shit was fictional
But on me, yes it's physical
It's critical you get and understanding every syllable
They think it's equivocal that I'm so lyrical
I think it's typical that they so pitiful
It's safe and so predictable that I'll always be invincible
[Hook 1](x4)
They say nigga where you at, I'm just living my dreams
They said that I should give up rap, like nigga what do you mean
So far it seems that this the greatest thing to happen to me
I got my girl and family, man I'm just living my dreams
(Back to reality)
[Verse 2]
I woke up
Fucking daydreaming has gotta stop
Man I'm tryna vision the top
Wish they'd listen I'm not gonna make it
For goodness sakes they ain't doing they part by only saying I'll make it
I must've been mistaken, wish I didn't awaken
I'm sick of waiting
On tables and this shit to get better
I'm tryna break out the fetter
They got locked in a sweater
I'm in my mind and tryna escape with each and every fucking letter
Can't decide whether or not I'm under the weather
But fuck it I guess
Cause honestly I'm making a mess
I'm so upset with myself
This shits a regret
Ain't tryna regress only tryna prove that I've been blessed
In success
I'm feeling stress to the point
Get obsessed with a joint
That I'm the only one feeling
No kidding
No games cause this ain't a scrimmage
Ain't tryna see the resemblance
Between myself and my pops
Declaring independence
So one day when I have made it
I can tell him I made it
Without his help, it isn't selfish
He'll come back when I'm famous
When I talk about the dad I never had they getting mad out the anus
But I don't give a fuck and if I had one wish
I wish he would've stayed in my life or fucking stayed missing
[Hook 2](x4)
Tryna reach my dreams but I'm just facing my reality
Don't care much for brutality
Struggle with my morality
