"Deep Dreams" lyrics
I prayed to God for this when I was hopeless
I know that sun gon' shine down on me
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now (Yeah, yeah)
Sitting in the basement, bumping beats I got off Napster
I was fifteen, rapping over other rappers' masters
Parents just divorced, so writing songs became a backboard
And Mom found another man, we ain't get along all that good
Tim boots and a skully, the fitted going backwards
People always found it funny, I ain't think its that odd
Selling green, but only made enough to buy the backwoods
Didn't even like being high 'cause it made me act weird
Told my brodie like five months into this rap thing
I'll be bigger than 50 Cent or Lil Wayne
Got my first two hundred bucks and went and bought a chain
Just a hungry kid from Vernon tryna make a name
Egg cartons nailed to the wall with a bit of tape
Ten thousand hours is an understatement
I have went and hit the pavement
Ever since that day when I picked up the mic and started spraying
Saying crazy stuff like I'm the greatest ever
All the L's I took along the way, they made me better
I know its sounds cliche, but to me, that's authentic
Told the world I'll make a difference with the words I pen and
When I look at what I done, I guess I really meant it
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now
"Everywhere We Go" drop and my world starts spinning, it's going viral
All the sudden, I'm getting hit up by all my idols
In a tiki bar with TI, talking 'bout rhyming
Sleeping on them airport floors, trust me, I'm grinding
Taking label meetings, now I'm meeting my driver
Used to taking buses and trains and swinging a hammer
Navigating life start to feel more like MacGyver
Ain't this what you always wanted? Yeah, of course, but I'm nervous
Five fingers of death, I tried to hide it on the surface
But I's shaking in my boots, telling myself I'm gonna merk this
Label meetings with a bunch of people going over strategy
But if it don't work out in time, then I'll be useless
Dad died around the same time and I was hurting
But I'm so obsessed with working that the beat stayed looping
More money than I ever seen, ain't this what you always dreamed?
Gotta make it happen right now or you'll lose everything
I prayed to God for this when I was hopeless
I know that sun gon' shine down on me
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now and
It run deep in my blood, my daddy was from the country
So when I do, you ain't gotta ask why I'm singing country
I'm allergic to boxes, so ain't no online shopping
See my story unfold like the final scene from Rocky
Had somebody ask me in the comment section
"Why you talk about your family so much?" I told them I love my blessings
Found my answers lately, I ain't even got no questions
Millie, Maeve, and Gus, Mom and Dad love you forever
Somehow the chaos in my house make all my music better
Hear the pitter-patter footsteps in my acapellas
My homies riding, rain, hail, snow, in colder weather
Getting money, so they're the ones that I break off cheddar
Best rapper, that ain't how I wanna be remembered
A good friend, good dad, that be sounding better
Twenty years deep, giddy up, I'm on a roll
So if you think I'm near the end, then you dead wrong
I prayed to God for this when I was hopeless
I know that sun gon' shine down on me
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now and
I know that sun gon' shine down on me
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
All I got is deep dreams
That is all I need right now (Yeah, yeah)
Sitting in the basement, bumping beats I got off Napster
I was fifteen, rapping over other rappers' masters
Parents just divorced, so writing songs became a backboard
