Dreams

(album: Perception - 2017)

Yeah, most of my life's full of sad days
Started at a young age
Yeah, bought a house but I've been living on stage
Tryna find the real me, I ain't found me yet
Wake up every morning feeling like I'm guilty
Talk to God, "Can you hear me?"
Lately, I'm a mess
I don't want no one to help me
Yeah, I don't want no one to help me and

If you think that I make decisions based off of what you think, then you're wrong
Can't nobody think for me, I got my own thoughts
Sometimes you don't know what you had until it's all gone, 'til it's all gone
If I took the hand that was dealt me then I would be nowhere in life
Yeah, I had to think smart
Threw away the deck and got my own cards
Long before I had the money to afford a car

I-I've been doing me
I've been doing me
Yeah, I've been doing me
I've been doing me
Following my dreams
Yeah, I've been doing me
I've been doing me
I've been doing me
Yeah, I've been doing me
I've been doing me
Following my dreams
Yeah, I've been doing me

Most of my life's full of regrets
Things I wanna take back, yeah
Wrote you a letter, wish that I had never sent that
Didn't even make sense, I don't even know
All I know is I get lower on the weekends
They tell me I should make friends, I just sit at home
Lately, I've been off the deep end, yeah
I've been off the deep end and

If you think that I'm 'bout to change who I am just for you then you're so wrong
As a kid I built a house around my broke heart
Sometimes you don't know what you had until it falls apart, 'til it falls apart
If I took the hand that was dealt me then I would be nowhere in life
Yeah, I had to think smart
Threw away the deck and got my own cards
Long before I had the money to afford a car

I (yeah) I've been doing me (oh)
I've been doing me
Yeah, I've been doing me (I have been)
I've been doing me
Following my dreams
Yeah, I've been doing me (following my)
I've been doing me
I've been doing me (I've been following my)
Yeah, I've been doing me
Following my dreams
Yeah, I'm just doing me
Yeah, I'm just doing me

Yeah, I'm reminiscing back to both of us laughing
Playing old records thinking every one of 'em's classic
Windows down, we on the street up in Michigan rapping
We talked about it, but never really knew it could happen
My confidence about as low as the gas is
We didn't have the money for it, so we'd turn the key backwards and sit in parking lots for hours 'til the battery crashes
I think that we related 'cause both of us were looking for answers
A couple months ago I drove into Gladwin, got me all in my feelings
It's something 'bout being somewhere that's familiar
Pull in the gas station, open up the tank then I fill it then laugh
Would I move back? Mmm, not in a million, but I appreciate the memories we had
I know you've been calling, sorry I never call back
I know I've been distant, you know I never meant that
You can tell the family how I'm doing if they ask
I'm just doing me
