Intro
[Hook]
Yeah the dream is gone
And you gone leave it alone right
(don't give in, don't give in, don't give in NO
Don't give in, don't give in, don't give in NO)
And you gone give it up
Cause there's no point trying anymore
(don't give in, don't give in, don't give in NO
Don't give in, don't give in, don't give in NO)
[Verse 1: Simply]
It was near spring time of two thousand and eight
A winter of self loathing and hate
Rested in a hospital bed dressed in grey
Best friend by my side, crying she's pressed to pray
The spirits of her belief and courage, a guiding light
Light the rez road back home she was my sight
Awoke my dreams broke my fall as I tried to take flight
Not really I wasn't raring to go
I still felt like I wanted to die
But then
My family and the people I keep around me
They found me and picked up
My brother and moms and the littlest baby Odessa
Mussa forgota that I'm not solo
My failures was a step to grow
Came to see even at the bottom there's a glimmer of hope
And in my darkest moments I was never alone
Knowing the knowledge of united strength I escaped
My broken dreams in my pocket I began to remake
I pulled through cause that's what champions do oooo
[Hook]
[Verse 2: E]
Wait, is this really the end
Do I give up on my dreams of killing it with a pad and a pen? no
Can't be, no way
I said i'mma do this to the end of my days
When I'm one foot in the grave
And its my prime that I crave
The time when I came to the game
With visions of change
I was
Lyrics untouchable, baditude attitude
Swag before swag was added to very track
Damn
Well I guess change is inevitable but for real though
I never thought i'd question my portfolio
Now like polio
Can't move and stuck in a vertical loop
Of musical abuse so now, excuses I use to lose my true self
The one I put on the shelf
Who gave em hell every time he did it his heart
In every line and digit of a sixteen
And flow schemes so mean, geez how the hell can I leave
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Simply]
Back when lonesome was more
Than me and failure hanging on the wrong side of the door
I was still keeping the score
Life had me beat seven billion to four and a half
Perhaps it was the wrong dream
Focusing on material things
Instead of the inner life exploded by the beat
As the haze began to recede, i began to receive
Began again to believe
Manifesting my intentions into reality
Intrinsically linked to the positivity of my mentality
And life seems a bit better now than a few years ago even though
I'm so sick of hearing it from other people
The truth is I still struggle with the ghosts of the past
Comes to me vividly remembering that
Memories killing me but lucidity last
From the bottom of a beer cup to re-walking the path
I guess in the end you take the good with the bad
Good things never end bad things do
Look up...
