A really good rap song about me having a dream but didn't make it
Lyrics
[intro]
Yo, lights out, dreams fade...
(what if) what if I never woke up? Ayy
[verse]
Started in the basement, pen bleedin' on the page,
Vision so vivid, felt like I owned the stage.
Mama said "boy, chase it, don't look back,"
I packed my bags, hit the road, no turnin' tracks.
Late nights grindin', stomach growlin' loud,
Beats in my headphones, blockin' out the crowd.
Signed demos in alleys, doors slammed in my face,
But I kept knockin', swear I owned the race.
Friends switched up, said I was wastin' time,
"Get a real job," but dreams don't punch a clock, prime.
Studio sessions, coughin' up bars like flu,
Producer noddin', "This one's gon' break through."
Crowd screamin' my name in the mirror each dawn,
Visualizin' platinum, tour bus rollin' on.
But the calls dried up, labels ghosted my line,
Rejection letters pilin', crushin' my spine.
[chorus]
Had a dream, yeah, I had a dream,
Chased it hard, but it slipped from my seams.
Now I'm starin' at the ceilin', what it mean?
Broke my back for the crown, but I'm still unseen.
Had a dream (had a dream), yeah, I had a dream,
Fought the fire, but it turned to steam.
Poured my soul in the stream, now it's just a scheme,
Dream died slow, left me hollow, in between.
[verse]
Hustled side gigs, flipped burgers for the rent,
Writin' hooks in the break room, every cent spent.
Open mics floppin', boos cut like knives,
But I reloaded clips, spittin' twice as live.
Linked with a crew, thought we had the wave,
Cyphers in the park, bodies in a grave.
One got locked, another chased the bag wrong,
Left me solo dolo, singin' my own song.
Posted clips online, views stuck at a thou,
Algorithms laughin', ain't nobody wow'd.
Family gatherings, uncles shake their head,
"Thought you'd be next up, now you're sharin' beds."
Mirror mockin' me, eyes red from the strain,
What happened to the kid who was breakin' chains?
Fame was the fever, now it's chillin' my bones,
Dream turned phantom, leavin' me alone.
[chorus]
Had a dream, yeah, I had a dream,
Chased it hard, but it slipped from my seams.
Now I'm starin' at the ceilin', what it mean?
Broke my back for the crown, but I'm still unseen.
Had a dream (had a dream), yeah, I had a dream,
Fought the fire, but it turned to steam.
Poured my soul in the stream, now it's just a scheme,
Dream died slow, left me hollow, in between.
[break]
[verse]
Look back at the footage, young me full of spark,
Bars sharp as razors, lightin' up the dark.
Missed shots at glory, deals fell through the cracks,
Injuries from the hustle, can't get 'em all back.
Therapy sessions, spillin' guts to the doc,
He said "process the loss," but it feel like a block.
Scroll through the feed, see 'em livin' my script,
Same flow I invented, now they got the grip.
Regret's a chain, heavy 'ro
