Dreaming Lyrics - The Crusader - Scribe

I came a long way since back in the day 

From a teenager trying to make it, rapping this way 

Ever since I was a kid, I had something to say 

Rocking Mic's was a dream, I didn't care about pay 

I sacrificed late nights and going out with my friends 

Just to stay home alone with my pad and my pen 

Had my eyes on the prize and my mind on my goal 

As I carved these rhymes out with my heart and my soul 

I didn't have a CD, all I had was a tape 

On the dole, through my flow was my only escape 

From a world where they didn't want to see me prevail 

Don't wanna see me take it all, they'd rather see me fail 

(It's like) 

I was down and out, struggling 

Wondered, how I'm gonna make it through 

I've got a dream, holding on, can't let go 

'Cause I've got to make it come true 

I've got a dream to make it big in New York 

Gave up the drugs and alcohol, I didn't want to distort 

My vision to be living life to the full 

And I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for you 

You picked me up every time that I fell 

When I was going through hell, you told me I would prevail 

You said, I had exactly what it took to be great 

That I was young and in the future what a man I would make 

It's like you saw something in me I couldn't see 

You said, I would succeed and be anything I wanted to be 

I'm twenty three and I just want to be me, want to be free 

Want to be everything I can be 

But I don't have many choices, I can't afford to be wrong 

So all I do is try to stay true to the words in my song 

Just don't hesitate and wait too long 

'Cause like a dream when you wake up it's gone 

(It's gone) 

I was down and out, struggling 

Wondered, how I'm gonna make it through 

I've got a dream, holding on, can't let go 

'Cause I've got to make it come true 

It was a sunny day and we were feeling high 

Jamming this song underneath a baby blue sky 

Thinking back in the time when we were so poor 

Remember the kids used to laugh at the clothes we wore 

We always knew one day things were gonna change 

And from that day I was never gonna be the same 

I went to sleep that night and dreamt I touched the sky 

And ever since I've been trying to keep my dream alive 

So when you see the Scribe dropping the killer rhyme 

Defining how I'm living mine, in this day and time 

I'm working nine to five, slaving over beats 

It's hard work living the dream, I hardly ever sleep 

I'm in the rhythm deep just trying to do my thing 

It's funny when you're shining, people hate to see the gleam 

No matter what they say, keep on doing what you do 

And don't give up 'cos only you can make the dream come true 

I was down and out, struggling 

Wondered, how I'm gonna make it through 

I've got a dream, holding on, can't let go 

'Cause I've got to make it come true
