[00:14.44]You catch my rock, rolling down Loners Blvd
[00:26.38]You've got dreams, keep on dreaming
[00:39.16]High school teen, never got accepted
[00:41.22]Guess it didn't get to go how I expected
[00:43.28]Now a ***** pissed
[00:44.90]Steady lookin' at the bottom of the list like
[00:45.79]"Where the **** re my projections?"
[00:47.33]*****'s like "Next year Tory
[00:49.55]It's all good, you'll be next year's story"
[00:51.42]Then I said "Man, you don't even understand
[00:53.10]Man, I'm droppin' out now, ain't no next year for me"
[00:56.16]So I left, bus route to the ***** down 53
[00:59.56]Took the last dollar that i had for this dream
[01:01.23]And I spent it on some naughty nonsense, Micky D's
[01:03.60]****, wasn't doin' too fine
[01:05.20]Then I made a call to this ***** named Rhymes
[01:07.11]Said he had a little studio and it wasn't top-notch
[01:09.40]But could damn near do the whole nine
[01:11.24]So I said "Cool" made a few songs in this ****
[01:13.75]Stayed too long in this ****
[01:15.27]But by the month, I was there so much
[01:17.29]*****'s had to lay futons in this ****
[01:19.32]I was in my mom's Susanne
[01:20.84]Drove to my first shows in a new Jetta
[01:22.89]Always said one day I would be the man
[01:24.94]I would just laugh like, who are you tellin'
[01:26.98]Me, I'mma go far
[01:28.55]I can still dream in this world full of stars
[01:30.51]I can still scheme in this world full of narcs
[01:32.50]If they can still scheme and I'm on my car show
[01:35.50]I'mma dream, I'mma dream, dream
[01:36.92]I'mma dream, dream like you said to me
[01:39.36]Best words that were said to me
[01:41.46]Best words that were said to me
[02:16.78]Ten long miles, from a long way home
[02:19.71]I'm headed downtown cause I'm workin' on this lil mixtape
[02:22.14]With no fillers, no throwaway songs, hopin' that this **** just go
[02:25.50]Sadly for me, this **** didn't
[02:26.98]So I make another mixtape and another mixtape and another mixtape
[02:30.31]'Til them *****'s start sayin' ****'s hidden
[02:32.90]Then I meet a guy named Sascha , he tells me he's thinkin' 'bout takin' up management
[02:36.58]Say he got a million dollar empire on his mind, he just need an artist to plan it with
[02:40.58]He also say he throw shows out in Texas and maybe I should open up for one
[02:44.59]Then I say "Cool man' he books me the next flight out like I'm showin' up for somethin'
[02:48.74]I lay down Houston around nine, warehouse live
[02:51.56]Was my worst show ever, *****'s damn near got boo'd off stage
[02:54.75]I performed my first live show ever
[02:56.58]Women in the crowd would scream for a *****
[02:58.69]*****'s in the crowd they was up down
[03:00.75]Bad enough *****'s let Bun B watch
[03:02.80]But I feel like I let Sascha down, **** was live on stage dog
[03:06.94]That night felt like a ***** had the whole world on my shoulders
[03:10.68]Twenty years old tryna find the one spot in this world gettin' colder
[03:13.89]Then he came to me like, "Dog, I could put money on this, bet a hundred on this"
[03:17.70]Gives me a few tips for the next night, set list says
[03:20.39]Dog you can run it on this
[03:21.56]And it all works out
[03:53.76]It's a big world
[03:57.12]The bigger your dream, the bigger you're livin' it
[04:01.31]It's all in your mind
[04:05.47]Don't let no body **** up your high
[04:10.15]It's a big world
[04:13.53]The bigger your dream, the bigger you're livin' it
[04:17.63]It's all in your mind
[04:21.94]Don't let no body **** up your high
[04:36.18]
[04:36.50](Phone Voicemail)
[04:37.57]Father, I lift up my son, I lift up anyone that travels with him and by his speed I pray that you go ahead of him...
[04:46.81]I assign angels right now to this assignment and I declare Father that they will go before you to make straight his path,
[04:56.66]I command that every crooked path would be made straight, every rough place would be made smooth
[05:03.60]Every obstacle, every barricade, every blockade, every conspiracy, every trap
[05:10.32]Right now is destroyed and removed out of his way in the name of Jesus
[05:15.85]And I thank you that it is written that goodness and love and mercy, form all the things of our life...
