Way Before The Dream

[Intro]
Yeah (Ay)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody listen, but I hope they hear me out
Always on the fly when I land, got a mic in my hand
Give it all for the fans 'cause we can
All my struggles, that's what turned me to a man
Told my team sit back, relax, I got my future in my notepad
Half rich but spending like my broke half
Old friends switched up; same team, still us
Drop-out on my chest been the sharpest in the cut, yeah

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna leave
They be like, they be like, "What you mean?"
I'd be sad but I'm working like a fiend
Reminisce what life was like way before the dream
Sometimes I wanna leave
They be like, they be like, "What you mean?"
I'd be sad but I'm working like a fiend
Reminisce what life was like way before the dream
Way before the dream
Way before the dream
Way before the dream (Way before the dream)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I coulda graduated college, I'm so sorry, Momma
I got things to do, lives to save, critics tryna fight a wave
Because we next, I hate saying it but it's true
Speak it into existence, and that's exactly what you'll do
Seeing all my peers getting engaged
I'm on a stage, actin' foolish, never actin' my age
Only listen to your comments if your comments can pay
All these rappers ain't sayin' nothin' I couldn't say, ay, yeah

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna leave
They be like, they be like, "What you mean?"
I'd be sad but I'm working like a fiend
Reminisce what life is like way before the dream
Sometimes I wanna leave
They be like, they be like, "What you mean?"
I'd be sad but I'm working like a fiend
Reminisce what life is like way before the dream, yeah
