[00:10.50]If you ain't dreaming  what you doing
[00:11.82]I dreamt of this day ever since I was a small child
[00:14.94]
[00:15.48]And when it finally came
[00:16.71]The sky was filled with rain clouds
[00:18.57]But when she came out  it all cleared up
[00:21.34]That's when his boy became a man and put his fears up
[00:24.50]I teared up as we started to say our vows
[00:27.29]No more me  it's all about us now
[00:30.32]And the children we bring into this union
[00:33.18]Never thought I'd live to see my dreams come true  man
[00:36.42]Look  all I know is marriage  pops and moms did it
[00:39.43]Grandparents did it  both stayed committed
[00:41.73]At least I think so  but I can't go a day without dreaming
[00:44.36]
[00:44.99]Of seeing myself married to Hip-Hop without a queen
[00:48.18]And I refuse to be that old
[00:49.53]Lonely dude at home watching porn
[00:51.67]Forty plus looking around the college dorms
[00:53.59]And uh  speaking of kids  I got a kid on the way
[00:57.14]Nah I'm kidding but I dream to have 2 one day
[00:59.94]Yeah
[01:00.45]What's a dream without a dreamchaser chasing it
[01:03.46]And what's a fear if you have no fear of facing it
[01:06.44]It's not a dream once reality replaces it
[01:09.57]So dream on  dream on
[01:12.24]What's a dream without a dreamchaser chasing it
[01:14.93]
[01:15.53]And what's a fear if you have no fear of facing it
[01:18.48]It's not a dream once reality replaces it
[01:21.53]So dream on  dream on
[01:24.27]I've never been that dude
[01:25.42]That was dreamin about the limelight
[01:26.45]
[01:27.26]I just wanted to have fun and keep my rhymes tight
[01:30.56]And then the fame came  now I'm a big name
[01:33.39]I opened up my heart  and started spitting game
[01:36.37]So influential  helping you reach your potential
[01:39.54]I hit the booth and touch truth to the instrumental
[01:42.56]But really  what does it all mean
[01:44.80]If you can't help others to fulfill their dreams
[01:48.06]New Orleans is moated murder and mardi gra
[01:50.26]I'm  show them
[01:51.14]Through the verses I'm flowing
[01:52.59]Through the seas that I'm sowing
[01:54.09]Showing  proving
[01:54.83]And doubling to excel is just the beginning
[01:57.05]Picture me rocking stadiums
[01:57.87]
[01:58.57]Going platinum we winning
[01:59.81]I lead an army of solders and beautiful  brilliant women
[02:03.10]To dream as big as I do and expose the people pretending
[02:06.23]Ha  they ain't real man
[02:08.16]They're just real lost
[02:09.63]It's hard times but these cowards still soft
[02:12.07]
[02:12.88]What's a dream without a dreamchaser chasing it
[02:15.43]And what's a fear if you have no fear of facing it
[02:18.49]It's not a dream once reality replaces it
[02:21.52]So dream on  dream on
[02:23.73]
[02:24.79]What's a dream without a dreamchaser chasing it
[02:27.44]And what's a fear if you have no fear of facing it
[02:30.49]It's not a dream once reality replaces it
[02:33.75]So dream on  dream on
[02:35.87]Look  I dream I please God everyday that I'm alive
[02:39.60]I dream that even when I'm gone my music never dies
[02:42.58]I hate when I backslide  I pray I change that
[02:45.61]My dreams and God's purpose
[02:47.12]I hope they're on the same track
[02:48.97]And I remember way back in '06
[02:51.00]With that gun on my head  man I thought I was dead
[02:53.95]Speaking of dead
[02:54.90]A man's not alive just because he's breathing
[02:56.81]
[02:57.59]No purpose equals no freedom
[02:59.84]Rise up
[03:00.59]I had a dream that God looked like me
[03:02.78]Clarence  13 exit I was G-O-D
[03:05.82]Can I admit  that kinda went to my head
[03:08.93]But really who is God if he can't bring back the dead
[03:11.94]With that said  in my dreams we live forever
[03:14.90]No divisions of religion because we all in this together
[03:17.90]Wake up  cause death is closer than it seems
[03:20.89]And too many of us die before we try to live our dreams
