Jimi Priceless - Dream

All of the colours are brighter when you’re younger
The good times used to last a little longer in those summers
Times changed, things are moving so much faster now
Timeless, my childhood friend’s a father now
He got it all together, yeah, I bet his father proud
He told me “do it big”, man, I should’ve asked him how
I think I’m standing too close to the elephant
In the room, in my zone, I am in my element
Took it back to the bars, put it in a cell again
I just live my truth and they can’t stop me from tellin’ it
I thought I’d be popping by now, thought that I would blow up
Throwback, on my Bubble Boy, I’m still tryna grow up
I was such a good kid, could be why I’m a bad grown up
I ain’t acting brand new, I’m just getting rid of old stuff
Dropout and heartbreaks, they thought I wouldn’t make it
But how can I fail, my favourite album’s Graduation
I used to dream ‘bout dropping platinum albums
Now all we got is streams, predictions of first week outcomes
I used to dream ‘bout Lamborghinis with the doors up
Now I hate the wheel, Uber everywhere I show up
I used to dream ‘bout diamond chains and gold grills
Been on shopping sprees and started feeling no thrills
I used to dream if I had it all I’d feel right
I used to dream, but then I woke up to live life
Wanted to be cool as rappers that claimed that they gripped the steel
But they all got pistol whipped by three-sixty deals
Don’t know what I’m after, but I know it’s not fame
Wanna be independent, but I’d still like a Roc chain
Thought that I would be the next JAY-Z
But now I’m a different animal, they can’t tame me
Tryna find my inner child, I’m waist deep
I ain’t with the games, I won’t let them play me
Ain’t no competition, a victory’s a victory
Forget the numbers, If I’m happy, it’s a win for me
Then contradict myself, write business plans to the A Milli beat
I am such a Gemini, yeah, you know how Jimi be
But this here is some of my realest rhymes
Been watching empire, but I should be building mine
You worry ‘bout yours, I’m worried ‘bout getting mine
I got plans to execute, alarm clock said I’m killing time
I used to dream ‘bout dropping platinum albums
Now all we got is streams, predictions of first week outcomes
I used to dream ‘bout Lamborghinis with the doors up
Now I hate the wheel, Uber everywhere I show up
I used to dream ‘bout diamond chains and gold grills
Been on shopping sprees and started feeling no thrills
I used to dream if I had it all I’d feel right
I used to dream, but then I woke up to live life
I used to dream
I used to dream
I used to dream
I used to dream
I used to dream
I used to dream
I used to dream
