[ Labi Saffre
This is my song
And no one can take it away
It's been so long, but now you're here
Here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
To find your dreams come true]
They told me to follow my dream and I've been running ever since
And I've been running ever since, motherf*cker
And I've been running ever since
And I've been running ever since
And I've been running ever since
They told me to follow my dream and I've been running ever since
And I've been running ever since, motherf*cker
And I've been running ever since
And I've been running ever since
First of all, I want to thank you for supporting my dream
Formulating my technique and everything else in between
And nothing's gonna stop me cos I'm gonna make it happen
All I gotta do is keep up with this motherf*cking rapping
Putting the town on the map one song at a time
People tell me what to do but, sh*t , this dream's mine
Now I roll with the same old crew I had and I mark 'em
Now I roll blunts wait for the right time to spark 'em
Sorta scared of being famous, cos then it changes
And I really want for you to know what my name is
And now I'm glad that a handful of you know it
And just for the record, I ain't a rapper nor a poet
I'm just me, blowing trees, on your head like some fleas for a minute at least
And plus, I come in peace
I'm just waiting for my time to shine
But meanwhile, I'ma write a couple rhymes and buy a couple dimes
And spend the rest of my days away from the sh*t that's in my way
Cos I'm living life with having to play the same game of writing words in my brain through my veins
Until I go insane then I fall like the rain
This dream is all I want so no time to sit and argue
Sitting in the back like, who the f*ck are you?
Telling me what's best, and you're causing all this stress cos I all I ever wanted was to be different from the rest
Let me be, and let me see what it takes to be, an emcee that falls in love with a mic or an MPC
Yo, I keep moving forward, never look back
I don't do this for the money, yo f*ck all that
I just love that music and the way that I can use it
To make you gain hope so you don't ever lose it
It's the never ending struggle
Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm just a normal kid and I never look for trouble
And I know I gotta make it, I got nowhere else to go
Plus, I put passion in the music and it shows
On top of that, I'm young, a senior in high school
And I do what I'm told but I still live by my rules
And I'm here to stay, until I make 'em come true
Cos controlling our fate is something we can all do
Trying to make a f*cking dollar off a couple of cents
They told me to follow my dream and I've been running ever since
