"Dreamin'" lyrics
What made you think that you could rap?
I'm sick and tired of hearing all that crap
Now, all these artists up here with the money and the gimmicks
Couldn't write a hit single from the start to the finish
'Cause they're lacking in the talent department but they ain't hearing it
I mean they're ignorant if they really think I'll be cheering it
Did you know there's a lot of MCs who don't write their own lyrics and rap at live shows?
They think they know what it's like to make a hit
Throwing back commercial beats and resulting to talkin' shit
Well, you need a lyric and a beat that really cooks
You need a nice tight flow with the really sweet hooks
You must be dreamin'
With your head up in the clouds
You must be dreamin'
If you haven't figured it out by now
You must be dreamin'
Trying to turn those records into gold
You must be dreamin'
If you think that you've got soul
What made you think you'd be a star?
I can't believe you made it this far
No, wait a second, I get it, you stole a hit from the '70s or '80s
Thinking we might forget
I guess it isn't really that hard when you're guaranteed a sale
And all you're looking for is fame and you want a record deal
But look out 'cause you might go under
Beware of the one-hit wonder
Chasing dreams and avoiding all the schemes
It's special nowadays to be a real MC
I'm making hits just so I can pay the rent
If you gotta hate me, please hate me 100 percent
You must be dreamin'
With your head up in the clouds
You must be dreamin'
If you haven't figured it out by now
You must be dreamin'
Trying to turn those records into gold
You must be dreamin'
If you think that you've got soul
What made you think that you would last?
I'm pretty sure that in this game things change fast
Don't hate the DJs 'cause they play hits out loud
If the artist has one single then I'm sure they'll play it loud
But my underground hits tend to rise above the heap
No, I won't lose respect 'cause I will keep
Doing what I'm doing, pursuing the real hip-hop
And never fearing or forgetting people tend to be threatened
Oh, you're two steps ahead, you're always two steps behind
It's a sign that you're blind, you need an eye to see and find
You got your head up in the clouds and you're always talking shit
And this is what it's like when I'm singing this bit
You must be dreamin'
With your head up in the clouds
You must be dreamin'
If you haven't figured it out by now
You must be dreamin'
Trying to turn those records into gold
You must be dreamin'
If you think that you've got soul
You must be dreamin'
(You got your head up in the clouds and you're always talking shit)
You must be dreamin'
(You got your head up in the clouds and you're always talking shit)
Trying to turn those records into gold
You must be dreamin'
If you think that you've got soul
You must be dreamin'...
(Head up in the clouds and you're always talking shit)
(Repeat to fade)
