Demond Dickens - Closer To My Dreams lyrics

(intro) Yeah... this is me, take it or leave it... and my dreams, I will achieve it... anything I want to be in this world, I'mma be it and uh... And you don't even have to believe it Cause you can ask stevie wonder and I bet he still see it ha Yeah and that's word to my momma yo I got too many fake friends (friends) and even more foes (foes) And all their hearts are as cold as black holes How you gonna make it in a world when no one knows Who you are as I sit from afar im watchin as my life flash like a shooting star and Time flies like a g5 in the skies takin me high and the bs is in disguise I anit nothin but a young man on the rise tryna survive and thats word to the wise now Just take a seat as I build my enterprise Or my empire yeah I just spit fire Ever goal I accomplish is just takin me higher And I feel just like a king so they callin me sire I keep rollin on even with a flat tire And you know that there is no one flier than me They say no it can't be How can anything great come from the d I'mma prove em wrong just watch me boy wait and see And nothing in this life is going to ever come for free so I'mma take it yeah I'mma take it everybody knows that life is what you make it Real recognize real so you can't fake it I'mma get mine so I know you won't mistake it I'm Closer to my dreams And I bet you don't know what I mean because My feet elevate above the ground Got me going so high I don't want to come down Look how yo boy done turned his life around Keep my head above the water because I am never going to drown Somethin ain't right I hear the alarm sound But the location of the station can not be found What am I to do where do I go don't have a clue Can't move my feet they seem to be stuck like glue Please believe me when I tell you that i'm telling the truth Yes life is outrageous it has many stages but you have to be courageous Pay attention theres a message in these pages Knowledge is power and could also be contagious They think we're animals and lock us in cages But we are animals with lots of Glocks and gauges When I write it gives me the chance to escape The times that I feel trapped and there isnt any space And I can't breathe start to turn blue in the face Im too paranoid man I never feel safe But I gotta keep goin I'mma finish this race... ya know I might not be first but I'mma cross the finish line Movin at my own pace so i'm racing against time Tryna make a dollar out of a nickel and a dime And yeah its hard now sooner or later it will be fine I give 110% just to get mine They try to turn the lights out but yet I still shine You don't what i'm capable of But I don't deal with the haters man I just rise above So I guess it's all love And they try to tell me that i'm nonchalant But the things you talk about seem to be so irrelevant I do what I have to so I can get what I want So I work hard but play even harder You will never bring me down why bother Think about it a young black scholar So I am livin my life No one but god can tell me if im livin it right Im dealin with my own fight And I know if I believe in him then everything will be just right And I just write down the images that develop in my head While you haters tryna fight I'm just doing this instead The scenes I visualize when I am layin in my bed Gone get me where I need to be but you ain't hear a word I said What a shame you livin life like it's a game I tried to help you out but I guess you will never change And it stays up on my brain think I'm about to go insane But you don't care You come around and use me up and then you out of there And I be out of air I swear this life ain't fair Momma told me that from the very beginning So I pray but I know I never learned cause I am still sinning But I'm winning cranberry juice sippin reminiscin On the times when I would stay up at night just wishing on a star In the sky but it never came true Sufferin from all this pain got me wondering who I am praying to Down on my knees can't get back up though I'm too weak why won't all these problems go I gotta fight it bro (outro) My whole life I tried to fit in, living to other peoples standards. but in the end its all worthless. I have to live my own life and do what makes me happy. it took a while to realize it. but im glad I finally did, who cares what people think of you, I wish somebody would have told me that so I wouldn't have to learn the hard way i'd rather die than live my entire life a lie... im just venting though... its all good. I know what my dreams are. im so close and getting even closer as we speak. victory is so sweet after you took a defeat yeah..... yeah....... im gone
