Can't Take My Dream

(Album: Steven Malcolm - 2017)

[Steven Malcolm:]
Yeah, I had a dream today
That I became what I set my mind to, I wouldn't have it any other way
A kid can dream can he, imagination crazy
I'm livin life like I always pictured that I would paint it
Lay back just looking at the stars, thinking about what I want to be when I grow up will I?
Be just like my pops who ended up living a life of regret
Everyday thinking about a son he wished that he had met
From a child growing big and strong
And conquering my fears proving everybody wrong
Even as I write this song, I wonder If I recall
Any guilt left inside hoping that I right my wrongs
And so I write my wrongs and hope that they relate
Today they be so quick to judge, but never know my pain
And never know my struggle just the battles that I lose
Where there's defeat, you'll find the strongest person in them shoes
Yeah, living out my dream knowing I broke the cycle
That I reach The Eiffel
I made impossible zero trying to be like my idols
They said I couldn't, but I raised up from rock bottom
Fighting for that World Title

[Joey Vantes:]
Today, I break these chains on me
I swear I'll never be the same again (oh!)
I swear you'll never lay claim again (oh!)
Cause I am a free man

You can't take my dream (no, no)
You can't take my dream (no, no)
You can't take my dream from
You won't take my dream from
You can't take my

[Steven Malcolm:]
Got a dream that's in me, I'm living to protect
Rejection all around me, this right here I can't neglect
I never been the type to sit and wait for my respect
I spit that dope correct
And let the listeners connect
So I dream today with childlike faith
Possibilities endless, I'm giving what my best is
I do it 'till I'm breathless
I swear I'm so relentless
Can't no defense contest it
You have a dream go get it
So dream today, I'm Martin Luther King fighting for what it is I believe even If the cost is me
Change in a generation, doing it so they all can see
Do it for the people to see truth and who I'm called to be
Only question remain will I take advantage?
Will I remain the average symphony or raise the standard?
Will I proclaim greatness or just run in abandon?
I be chilling in the cloud, I think I'm never landing
Look at the beauty swear there's nothing like it
Sometimes the only way to change the course is to re-write it
Sometimes the quickest way to freedom is standing and fighting
The passion deep inside you waiting to get ignited
Yeah, so go ahead and dream let your mind free
Leave them doubts in the rear-view
Keep that confidence near you
Let the whole city hear you
Inside of you is everything you need to have a dream

Today, I break these chains on me
I swear I'll never be the same again (oh!)
I swear you'll never lay claim again (oh!)
Cause I am a free man

You can't take my dream (no, no)
You can't take my dream (no, no)
You can't take my dream from
You won't take my dream from
You can't take my dream (no, no)
You can't take my dream (no, no)
You can't take my dream from
You won't take my dream from
You can't take my
