(Verse)

A young dreamer, my eyes fixed on the stars

A taste of the stage left a life long scar

Daily reminder to go out and do somethin’

Typical punk kid you couldn’t tell me nuttin’

Watched dad break his back he had a family to feed

That was enough to know that that wasn’t for me so

Cursive in books turned to verses and hooks and school became my side job

Tapes to CD's now its MP3's and I got a space in your iPod

I ain't solo no more, I roll with a team

We’ve got champagne wishes and caviar dreams

Some say wishes are unreachable things

But why reach at all if you ain't reachin’ for dreams

I wanna touch the world with these words I say

So I dream like I’ll live forever live like I’ll die today

 

(Chorus)

I spent my whole life tryin’ to get that green

Fabricate new schemes just to taste that cream

Seems so serine since we formed the team

We don’t gotta be asleep not to live the dream

 

(Verse)

Young and broke, with no free rides

Dirt on my kicks and pride in my eyes

Realized early there's no second tries

So I copped ‘dro’ for dough and upped my supplies

Got a little paper life didn’t get easy

More money, more problems, lifestlye’s sleazy

Man got busted trust it kid it freezed me

Did a double take, had to double the stakes

Level the tracks, profit off of rock 'stead of 20 sacks

Now I’m getting’ plenty back, find me in your CD rack

It all happened so fast, shot in the dark, so hard to grasp

No matter how long my records keep spinnin’

All the nonsense and situations I’ve been in

That’s why you see me here leanin’ back grinnin’

You can bet I’ll never forget the beginning

 

(Chorus)

 

(Verse)

Dream with our eyes open, no time for sleep

We lay awake, countin’ bars you lay countin’ sheep

Insomniacs with a dream to rock a coliseum

College scene was the back drop

Pro Tools on the lap top, bars stools was the last stop

Smooth to the last drop, sip on this hip hop

Found out that the stage was our bed

Talk in our sleep on the mics where we're layin’ our head

In a world of dream catchers we're weavin’ the web

While others get their dreams snatched by the world instead

So go ahead doze off close your eyes

Mac’s electric strings sing a lullaby

Some dream of dough, get it and don’t know what to do

Dream of fame and lose their family and crew

We just stay day dreamin’ keep our cool

Careful what you wish for it might come true

 

(Chorus)
