[00:27.62]Living my dreams like I never had a nightmare
[00:33.06]I'm ahead, I'm ahead, talking like light years
[00:38.14]I don't see the same things when I'm way,
[00:40.81]when I'm way up, when I'm way up
[00:44.63]It's hard to make it harder to stay up, stay up, stay up
[00:51.62]I've been thinking, I've been seeing,
[00:52.91]I've been learning, I've been learning
[00:57.93]Money show you how the world turning, money show
[01:03.54]Old friends say I'm different 'cause I'm earning, I'm earning
[01:08.84]What's a bridge when it's burning
[01:15.32]It ain't the mountains ahead that weigh you down
[01:17.74]It's the pebble in your shoe, heavy in my boots
[01:20.82]Invested in the dream now I'm living on the screen
[01:23.74]Everybody want the fruits, they say I got the juice
[01:26.90]Humble beginnings is finished now I'm making millions
[01:29.98]Funny how when tables get turned so do attendance
[01:32.60]People get a title like loyalty come with pension
[01:35.84]My mind should be at ease, but I'm the one that attention
[01:39.34]I heard my boy at the crib was talking down like (what?)
[01:42.73]Dame ain't the same, he up on cloud nine
[01:45.20]What an excuse to try give your pride a boost (sucker)
[01:47.83]I gotta cut you loose but we could call it all a truce (it's love)
[01:51.22]I hit my pops, he like "you owe these people nothing
[01:53.95]Tell 'em what it is and it's not up for discussion
[01:56.93]You gotta stand for something or you bound to fall for nothing"
[01:59.50]Crazy how I got all, at times it's like I'm suffering
[02:02.71]Living my dreams like I never had a nightmare
[02:08.52]I'm ahead, I'm ahead talking light years
[02:13.83]I don't see the same things when I'm way,
[02:16.29]when I'm way up, when I'm way up
[02:19.96]It's hard to make it harder to stay up, stay up, stay up
[02:27.12]I've been thinking, I've been seeing,
[02:28.46] I've been learning, I've been learning
[02:33.50]Money show you how the world turning, money show
[02:39.05]Old friends say I'm different 'cause I'm earning, I'm earning
[02:45.08]What's a bridge when it's burning
[02:51.00]The way I think is different, hard for me to pass a message (D.O.L.L.A.)
[02:54.40]'Cause every word I speak is like a class in session
[02:56.90]I mean well but the cash in my jeans swells
[02:59.17]so they probably take offense or it might just not ring bells
[03:02.63]People I was tight with, now we ain't got much in common
[03:05.21]Thinking about the times when we ain't complete assignments
[03:08.46]Sad to think about all my friends that turned to violence,
[03:11.33]when they was showing promise
[03:13.04]I'm just paying homage
[03:14.95]I feel like a victim of success, it's lonely at the top
[03:18.30]Every accomplishment people take the drop
[03:20.83]A lot of vacant spots and struggling, I hate to watch
[03:23.97]And more money, more problems, tell them right
[03:26.74]I started that Jesus really the reason,
[03:30.31]I'm healthy every season and protected from the demons
[03:33.24]And gold-digging women, that's all over
[03:36.23]A life of cold guy game got the boy feeling anemic
[03:39.42]Living my dreams like I never had a nightmare
[03:45.00]I'm ahead, I'm ahead, talking like light years
[03:50.34]I don't see the same things when I'm way,
[03:53.99]when I'm way up, when I'm way up
[03:56.52]It's hard to make it harder to stay up, stay up, stay up
[04:03.57]I've been thinking, I've been seeing,
[04:04.85] I've been learning, I've been learning
[04:09.94]Money show you how the world turning, money show
[04:15.44]Old friends say I'm different 'cause I'm earning, I'm earning
[04:21.51]What's a bridge when it's burning
