lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dreaming long hours while I'm awake,
Tryna pick which path maybe I should take,
Grew up round people saying I won't make it,
But you never know,
Had a rough patch, no other way to explain it,
But here it goes,
Homeless in the streets, but before that,
Lost my damn car, but before that,
Could only see my son through a FaceTime call,
He a thousand miles away and it's all bad,
It's all bad,
Yeah it's all bad,
I wonder how I got on such a lost track,
Sidewalks keep me safe in the space of night,
Gotta fake that I'm alright,
But I don't know for sure,
Staring up at the stars sitting here wishing I could be that,
I could be that,
Maybe one day,
One day when the time is right,
One day when maybe I can fight,
One day when the price is right,
Brightest thoughts on the darkest nights,
Until they fade away,
Once a colorful dream now it's shades of grey,
Dunno what to say about it,
But I ain't gonna complain about it,
And although I ain't a Christian,
Some nights I really broke down and prayed about it,
Damn,
Can this situation, end,
Don't know what's in store for me,
I need love, can you share a little more with me,
And promise you would go to war for me,
Even lie to court for me,
I ain't tryna be saved but would you pray to lord for me,
Don't judge by exterior,
See past that, and maybe look into my core for me.

[Hook]
This dream street is all I'm hoping for,
This dream street is sure to open doors,
I'll make it,
(Keep walking),
I'll make it,
(Keep walking),
I'll make it,
(Keep walking),
I'll make it,
(Keep walking).

[Verse 2]
God damn, I made it,
God damn, I prayed it,
Spent a lot of long nights,
Thinking bout my sons eyes,
Thinking bout the sunrise,
Thinking I don't wanna cry,
Nah, I don't wanna cry,
I hope my faith don't die,
Though I know sometimes I might've shed tears,
But I know one day I'll have the best of years,
Break from my fears,
Ain't it funny how I ain't afraid to die,
But I'm afraid to have my son see me cry,
I'm afraid for him to see these lies,
All I really want is him to see me fight,
Fight for my dreams and goals,
Though I do suppose,
If he see me hit rock bottom,
Then maybe when he's older,
And we living in a big house,
Got a few cars,
He can understand how I got em,
The way I faced every problem,
Never let them beat down cause I solved em,
Never let them beat down cause I solved em,
Giving life lessons and shit,
I just really wanna be the best at this shit,
I'm talking bout fatherhood,
I hope my seeds get watered good,
I really hope they see, a lot of good,
Block out the the bad,
Fight like they dad,
Stay on the right path,
Believing that vividly they could be,
Any fucking thing that they could dream,
Of,
I hope he get the girl he like,
I hope she treat him like my wife,
I hope that on his darkest nights,
He thinks of me and still lives to fight.

[Hook]
This dream street is all I'm hoping for,
This dream street is sure to open doors,
I'll make it,
(Keep walking),
I'll make it,
(Keep walking),
I'll make it,
(Keep walking),
I'll make it,
(Keep walking).
