Jesse Gray - Last Night

I had a dream last night, that you left me
You hated who I became and you wanted to forget me
And I couldn't stop you because my legs were too heavy
And the farther you walked away the more that I felt empty
At first I thought I was pretendin'
Like I was lying to myself I think you get the message
But the more time that passed the more it seemed to set in
Till I couldn't bear it so I told you to wait a second

Please just stay, I promise that I can change
She told me that's the problem that right there's the mistake
She said I need to pray I told her that I need an escape
I need something to lift me lately I've been feeling the weight
She told me everyone dies but only some pretend that they'll survive
Everyone has summer days and some winter nights
She said you only got one chance to live this life
Live or die, your choice before you reach the finish line

I had a dream last night, that my dream failed
Every time I tried to write my train of thought derailed
I couldn't get new beats producers never hit my email
Plus I was only ever catching hate from the females
I couldn't understand it, I was making mad hits before
My mind was over ceilings but now it's like it hit the floor
And in my dream I was wondering what it had all been for
I was given opportunities, God shut the door

To be honest I thought this was my destiny
But then I became old and I knew no one remembered me
I looked back and all that I could see in my memory
Was me disregarding others saying stop tryna lecture me
I had been focused on my music, but less about the message
I dumbed my story down so more people would accept it
And the fame came and went and it took with it my blessings
And after all these dreams I think I finally learnt the lesson

I got one chance to do this, I can't just sit and waste it
If I pull this off I want my dad to be glad I made it
I want my Mom to hug me tight and say congratulations
You stuck to your goals and we're proud
Of you son and that's your payment
I'll make mistakes on the way, I won't claim to be perfect
Some days I know I'll be slacking off when I should be working
But as long as I stay driven by the mission it's certain
No matter what it takes I know the benefits are worth it
