The Beauty Of Dreams

(album: The Second City - 2019)

Yeah, yeah
I been living my dream
At 27 whipping hits up in the kitchen, boy I do it for the team
Been around the world and back, I'm blessed to see the things that I've seen
Living better than I've ever been
Devil on me, I won't let him in
God showed me He had a bigger plan
Okay now, this here that drip with' the sauce
This here that talk it, I walk it, I been 'bout it, dawg
They listen in when I talk
Demons all around me scheming, they plot on my fall
But I have risen the bar
Put everything that I am, nothing short of my all
They cannot ride on my wave
I hit the gas ever since I was saved, yeah
I do this 'til the death of me
Since I was a kid I knew greatness was something that I would amount to eventually
And now that it's here, I feel that the pressure that's on could be getting the best of me
Anxiety lying inside of me
Depression done got a boy stressing
I feel like giving up when it's setting in
But on the real, I been working like Letterman
Late nights, ain't no sleep with' the pen again
Taking flights to new cities we killing it
Packing out venues with' words and a pencil, I know it's crazy
Tell em' "Leh Get It" when I'm in the building
I ride for my people and die for the realest
'Cause ain't no more fear when you know you forgiven, yeah

Home, home
Home, home
'Pon the Second City

Yeah, welcome to my life, road to His glory, writing through my pain
Despite all the shame, see it in me, I've invited all who came
Yeah, so many pedals left scarred, beaten, bruised up
But I rose from the bottom, His grace and His mercy
Where'd I be without it?
A young bull with a heart of a lion
5'9" but I feel like Goliath
Underrated but finesse with' the finest
Get it, flip it, we don't stop with' the grinding
Politicking, we don't do that where I live
Real be the only way to define it
I had to trust God with' the timing
Perfect with' it and if I can be honest
I done seen things in this game
That would make a sane man stray
Pray for me, got a wife now
On the road more than home
Rocking all these crowds
Wondering if all the sacrifices
That I'm making just to make it paying off
Lately my career been taking off
And I really can't afford to take a loss
The father got me focused on the cross
All mission, dog with' it
Bar spitting, God given, ooh
I let the tunes talk they be hard hitting, yeah
Ayy, was told the sky is the limit so go and achieve
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of dreams
