lyrics

[Chorus]
And they say it's just a dream
And for them it might be
But this is what we work for
It's why we stay up nightly
Too many long days gone by
For me to wonder why
I never took my chance
I'd rather stick to the plan

[Verse 1]
To kick raps, kick raps
Making them beats
So I could sit back, sit back
Lay on the beach
I want the finer things in life
I want everything I seek
If I could pick love, pick love
Then she's beside me
I want her bad
So much it hurts me
I want her back
But I don't deserve it
My conscience says
That I'm not worthy
I can't listen
I just gotta keep working

[Chorus]
And they say it's just a dream
And for them it might be
But this is what we work for
It's why we stay up nightly
Too many long days gone by
For me to wonder why
I never took my chance
I'd rather stick to the plan

[Verse 2]
Louis V, Balenci-aga
Gucci, and Fendi
I do not need any
I'd rather save up my pennies
Switched the beamer for a civic
Switched it up to an electric board
Now I ride around
Without a care in the world
When I first started rapping
Couldn't catch my breath
Now I catch attention
From your girl and all her friends
When I'm at the party
There's no drink in my hand
Girls always acting naughty
So when you hate I understand

[Chorus]
And they say it's just a dream
And for them it might be
But this is what we work for
It's why we stay up nightly
Too many long days gone by
For me to wonder why
I never took my chance
I'd rather stick to the plan

[Bridge]
And follow my heart, my intuition
I don't know why I ever doubted myself
Watch everything come into fruition
The moment that I believe in myself

[Chorus]
And they say it's just a dream
And for them it might be
But this is what we work for
It's why we stay up nightly
Too many long days gone by
For me to wonder why
I never took my chance
I'd rather stick to the plan
