Dream While I'm Awake Lyrics - Artist : Jelly Roll
What if Jesus Christ came back and he was
Homeless, I wonder if any of us would even notice Speak to him all the time But really we don't know him And everything we owe him, we don't even show him I finally got it right, so I said that it was overdue Try to treat people right, cuz that's the golden rule They tell me Jelly We ain't met nobody cold as you I tell 'em I remember having to eat moldy food I try to stay confident and humble, but that's a hard balance Cuz in my life, I've probably slept on a hundred couches I've been through so much and now I tell the world About it, can't believe I made it, I was so doubted I went to jail for the pack that I pieced out My people left me out to dry like a beach towel I can see the stars, they in my reach now I told my daddy he could finally sleep in peace now How much can I take, got my hands to the sky I'm searching for a break, got my knees on the ground My head up while I pray I'm talking to the lord, I need a better way I only dream while I'm awake, I only dream while I'm awake I only dream while I'm awake, I only dream while I'm awake There's two sorta dreams in life The one you have while you're asleep And the one that you stay awake to chase There's no telling how many miles you may or May not have to walk just to catch your dream But always remember: Dream as if you'll live forever, and live as if you'll die today Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions I always felt rejected, never accepted Came In this game hoping they would make exceptions Now I got these critics always dissecting Every mix tape but I don't need they suggestions This my direction, my own lane My own thing, my own squad, Molly Gang, it's A game When I started they told me that I would never budge They said a white boy can't rap about selling drugs They said that I was stupid, said I was actin' wild But if that's all I know, what else could I rap about? And if it wasn't for God and the fans I'd probably still be somewhere weighing grams And I know how a stick up feels And how it feels to go to Florida just to pick up pills All the way in Cali bout to ship that kill Ship that real, man I gotta get this deal How much can I take, got my hands to the sky I'm searching for a break, got my knees on the ground My head up while I pray I'm talking to the lord, I need a better way I only dream while I'm awake, I only dream while I'm awake I only dream while I'm awake, I only dream while I'm awake I'm still living in the moment The money won't last, the reason why I blow it I'm rapping my ass off but critics don't hear it Are they judging by the lyrics, or my appearance? It's sad that this industry is all about the image Now, you can only make it if you got a gimmick now They told me they want me to change man that shit is wild They said that I was too brash and I should simmer down I said I'm really from the streets bitch I get around Out of town, looking for someone to front me fifty pounds This rap shit is cool, no denying it I just pray I never take my skates out of retirement How much can I take, got my hands to the sky I'm searching for a break, got my knees on the ground My head up while I pray I'm talking to the lord, I need a better way I only dream while I'm awake, I only dream while I'm awake I only dream while I'm awake, I only dream while I'm awake |
