Manny Maye - Dreams

The perfect picture of pain and stress
When people at your neck
Feelin pressure within your chest
You feel it more than ever since your album bout to drop
You contemplate it when you thinking if your album gonna flop
You saying you don't give a fuck
Acting cool and nonchalant
But the cool guy really wanna see if he's hot
In the streets
To his friends
To the spots where the cops
Won't go when the boy got shot
To his homies stuck in jail cells
To the dope man in trap spots
To his brother from another
To his mother
To his brothers
To his sisters
To his lover
When will it end?
What will it take?
To see that the skill there
To see that the will there
Studio every month
Homies ain't around
But as long as I'm down they still here
And for as hard as I go
I'm right there
I can't stop because I'm right here

My dreams are right there
I'm so close
My dreams are right here
I'm right here
I can't stop now
Naw

Turn to nightmares
Before the cold sweat breaks I wake
Shaking out of my place
And into my space of thought
Train of mine
That I glide on
Thinking damn what if I got this all wrong?
What if all of my plans go wrong?
What if my goals are all wrong?
What if a nigga don't grow
As a artist or worse
As a person
Then will it be worth it?
What if I end up worthless?
Questioning what my worth is
All because of my album asking where the support is
Thinking a nigga hopeless
Feelings I'll have to hold in
Fighting deeper frustrations that get so controlling
It's me against myself
I wouldn't wanna fight nobody else
battling for position atop of the top shelf
My mind know what's best but my heart don't help
Mind screaming don't bother
Heart yelling help yourself
I been waiting on my chance to get Gold like Phelps
And here it is so only time can tell
If ima do well or be a shell of what I could've been
Maybe show I'm better than what I should've been
Not who I would've been

My dreams are right there
I'm so close
My dreams are right here
I'm right here
I can't stop now

Can't let a matter of opinion turn my mind into a prison
Success is what you make it but the failures still a given
Say you give a lot into your passion but what exactly are you giving?
Enough isn't enough
But yet enough is what you bringing?
You acting like you don't care
Like your dreams ain't right there
Well my dreams is right here
Palm of my hands
Blessings dimming out my nightmares
Music for eternity
Living long through light years
Making sure I'm punctual
Wouldn't wanna miss time here
Whatever is to come from this
Will be the revelation to my genesis
The ending before I begin again from this
Can you picture this?
The boy became a man without faltering
Changing the angle without altering
Plans of conquering dreams bigger than scholarships that colleges could be offering
I hope my family think I'm bigger than offices
Accomplishing goals that leave my mama face in astonishment
I'm on my own shit
Progressively working until it's boss shit
Dodge the bullshit
from niggas who tryna stop this
Can't flop this
