Allegheny Cal - Dollar And A Dream Pt. II

I got a dollar and a dream
With nothing to deposit it probably never seems
That I'm bothered
I got a lot that's complicating these things
Haunting in my dreams
By 12 o'clock I'm awake
That's a problem
Now I got work in 4 hours
I can't sleep now I'm tossing
Turning and it's more often
Because I'm hurting and starving
I never shown to nobody
Always gotta fake it
Whenever I get bothered
Always gotta take it
Avoiding these conversations like I wish I was home
Daily pushing all these boxes got me sick to the bone
Sometimes I feel like I be wasting time by making these songs
Barely getting new replies
Everything going wrong
I got a dollar and a dream
Wonder how I'll cash it it seems
I'm on a broken path of extremes
Scribbling with a pen and pad, where it leads
Or on my ass
In an office, staring back at a screen
This a passion to me
My ex got impatient and she left
What is next
Every breath that I'm taking
Cannot ever go wasted
Now I'm running out of pages
This is chapter 30
I'm supposed to have a couple babies
At least still have a lady
I'm back at square 1 again
Betting on myself and I'm trying have fun again
Navigating politics like capital punishment
Gotta get the fuck up out my head I ain't done with this

I got a dollar and a dream
I can't fold and let em leave
Everything ain't what it seems

I'm thinking that I'm running out of chances
Eventually I gotta find what's right and make advances
I wish I had the answers
Life is passing me by
I can't stand this
Hope somebody understands it
And paints the picture right, on the canvas
Whether as advice
Or the cameras
For a couple likes
Or unplanned it
See it in my sights, I'm a grab it
Reaching for new heights
To get established
Either gonna fight or I will vanish
Make the sacrifice or I'ma pack it
It's that easy
Why rage against the machine
This not tv
To be stuck running in place
Now I'm wheezing
I find reasons
To say I need this
Dollar and a dream
Before it's shattered in pieces
Scattered underneath
Where I may to go to sleep
For now in relief
I'm focusing on me
Right now you niggas better see
