[Verse 1]
They say home is where the heart is, my heart is too many places
City sit on my starter, I’m roaming through open spaces
On campus writing the notes in my phone that I hope will make it
To damaged souls in Chicago with tears streamin down they faces
Peers gettin recognition for years of just making basics
Just worsens my fear of only gettin lost among the noise
I’m a product of my pain, I’m a version of my visions from sittin inside my kitchen with pops and my other boys, uh
And I don’t want no problems
But I ain’t scared to have em
I’d give these rappers Summer’s Eve, but that ain’t fair to Adam
Either way I’m cleanin up, I never take a summer off, and every payment is a must, jo I gotta grab em
Free the bass and beat it up, I make a track and run em off and every statement you can trust, I ain’t gotta pad em
See the pavement steamin up, I gotta keep the numbers hot or else my run just might be shorter than Udonis Haslem’s
That ain’t no slight on the league-bound, I see you on
But I ain’t lookin for rebounds, I needed strong footing, beyond good, so I gotta MVP the songs
Cuz y’all was cool with third string, I’m tryna be LeBron
If you knew how dark my lows was, you’d already know why I always move like something left to prove
With my eye to the sky hopin home will love me back way before I’m in the clouds even if I gotta move, I know
[Chorus]
Sometimes dreams feel so far away
Sometimes dreams feel so far away
The goal so close I can taste it
I’m sprintin to the end, can’t pace it but
Sometimes dreams feel so far away
Away
Away
Away
[Verse 2]
I’m just a sample of the system that created my habits
Had to earn my stripes like a nigga play for the Magic
And it wasn’t in the trap, though I’m familiar enough
But it was really what I seen that created a savage
I’ve been buildin up my team since the days I was average
Now I always got a hustle so I stay with the cabbage
And I never had to struggle, I just hate being needy, so when you see me I be drippin cuz I’m playin to have it
But that’s... just livin on enough to make a couple bucks
And yeah, I got a couple kicks, I’ll prolly scuff em up
I’m really tryna represent what made me toughen up
Couple scuffles got me more than supple when I knuckle up
But truth be told, I just kinda hope you play along
My only aim is always making someone favorite song
And I got dreams of bein king like this Pride Rock
Pray Chicago still gon hold me close if I don’t stay for long
I don’t need everyone to love me, specially when things is ugly, only the God above me judge me well
And if I’m on the right path, imma keep writin
If I ever fall off, you’ll see where I fell
I know imma slip up every now and then
I just hope I stay clean, but it’s hard to say
I been livin daydreams at the very least, if you stay with me maybe dreams won’t be far a...way
