Ali Doukali - Dreams & Nightmares

It took me no time get it on lock
I'm moving with something
The others don't got
I've been grinding so hard
That I might just collapse
They be claiming some progress
I know that it's cap
The last thing I want
Is to to be part the system
I partied so hard
That it's out of my system
And now my attention
Is focused on being the greatest to do it
Back when I started they told me quit
They said nothing would happen I started to late
They were looking for reasons to break up my spirit
They saw that I'm eating and reached for my plate
Grateful to God because I saw it coming
Got me a goddess that scream when she coming
I'm heating up inside the booth like an oven
Somebody go call in a truck just put me out
When the rapping is over they'll be no doubt
Lately I've been so obsessed with legacy
When I started to make some real money
I saw how they moved
And that fucked me up mentally
Even with all the demons I'm fighting
That shit cannot break me
I'm really unbreakable
Props to the artists that came up before me
But I'm far ahead and that shit ain't debatable
I just feel like I'm on new frequency
They be calling my confidence arrogance
All the people that did me so dirty
They scarred up my heart
I should talk to a therapist
I be using the beats as my therapy
Me versus anyone
I like my chances
I was overlooked
But it ended up working out
Now I am the man that's advancing
She be throwing it back when she dancing
Throwing all their best shots
And I'm standing
Drop the top on the roof for expansion
Double down on me
Tell me the chances
Can I make it
God what are the chances
Can I make it
God what are the chances
Third year in the game
Now I'm hitting my stride
This is some talent you cannot deny
Keep my composure
My eyes on the prize
I see nothing but guilt
When I look in their eyes
See nothing but guilt
When I look in their eyes
God come in, take my hand
Give me strength
To fight all through the night
Forgive my sins
They turned me cold
Protect me and
I'll show what dreams are made of
Tryna express what I'm living
I put in emotion it shines through
In all of my music
I be wanting the fame
But I hope when it comes
I'm just strong enough not to abuse it
The road been so long
That I promised myself
When I get there I never will lose it
You be the judge
Tell me you seen someone
Working to build what I'm doing
Been amazing the path that I took
I'll go down as the GOAT
If I'm playing my cards right
You will never be able to prove
That a person like me
Wasn't built for the spotlight
Everyday that I'm learning
My skills getting better
I set out to take the game over
The only thing I see is red like October
I'm really strung out
Don't you get any closer
Can do this all day
Don't you question my motor
Can do this forever
As long as I'm standing
Don't have time for the critics
Who gave me their input
On music they don't have a hand in
Got another thing coming
You think I'm the man who gonna quit
When this shit getting difficult
And all these knives sticking out of my back
That the fact I can trust be a miracle
Caught some snakes laying low in my garden
And they wearing disguise like a friend
Once you start up the pro tools and turn up the beat
You know ima be snapping again
All the anger I use it to fuel me
Motivation to keep pushing forward
As youngin my pops used to tell me
In this world you always
Gonna get what you work for
God come in, take my hand
Give me strength
To fight all through the night
Forgive my sins
They turned me cold
Protect me and
I'll show what dreams are made of
