[Verse 1]
I've been dreaming 'bout this rap thing for 10 years
Back before the time when I could by my friends' beer
Knew that with time and persistence I could make it work
Like people paying off college, they working as a clerk
Man, any way to get it I'm down
Entertaining people like a fucking party clown
The thought of thousands of people screaming my words
Sold out shows across the world, getting chauffeured
At the end of the day, it's about that love of art
Expression and passion, I take that shit all to heart
Transcribe that motherfucker, put it in a song
And that leaves us here man, I hope you sing along
These days rappers talking 'bout the jewels they got
There's no truth behind it expect for all the weed they bought
They're trying to say I'm better by telling you what I'm not
I hope you understand that it's food for thought
[Chorus (x2)]
What about the time you told me I could do anything
And if I put my mind to it I could become the king
Yeah, yeah, I gotta get it know
Yeah, put your hands up if you feel it now
[Verse 2]
People tell me already you're a superstar
And how my music's dope, it'll make it far
I just hope that's true and I make 'em proud
I would hate to let any of my family down
Flash forward to a couple years from now
Sold out shows, I just made a hundred thou
LA to NY and everything in between
My future seems identical to my dreams
I could do anything I wanna do
The beauty of that, it's the same rule for you
I'm tired of people copping out with their life
You only live once, better do it right
[Chorus (x3)]
What about the time you told me I could do anything
And if I put my mind to it I could become the king
Yeah, yeah, I gotta get it know
Yeah, put your hands up if you feel it now
