Texty: Chiddy Bang. Dream Chasin'.
From the Swelly Express (2009)
Eh, check the plans out
We work hard
I ain't asking for a handout
If I hit the booth I don't have to pass those grams out
and beat her well when the other thoughts ran out
they say they lost words
I got them puzzled like the cross-word
Harvard
I'm not George Washington Carver
but you can never pay a boss peanuts
if it gets messy be prepared for the cleanup
But this thing called success is so strange
because you can get notoriety and still ride the train
make it in its entirety and search for the fame
but I'm still Michael Phelps swinin' in my lane
Where?s Lois?
me, I'm Superman here to save the day
or at least I thought I was
til I flew in the Sabre
and met my opponent
I'm fighting myself
don't offer the condolence
I'm Dreamin
(Chorus)
We Chasin' the dream
so what is life the diamonds and the gleam
get a job while I'm doing it
promise to stay true in it
doin' it
but promise to never let another soul ruin it
And things ain't what it seem
make money to spend it
I got my scheme
work hard while we doin' it
promise to stay true to it
doin' it
but promise to never let another soul ruin it
It too haunting
the task is daunting
trying to get the labels on board while flaunting
but, let's make some music make some money
get the rides
European ties, have models wives
sometimes I feel faded to pretend
unsafe 'cause my crib is far from gated in
I'm a relic believe slightly the psychedelic
If I could take off would you consider me angelic
Hysteric
I'm the subject and the predicate
They hatin' on me tell me wheres the eticate
If you could lie about me , I don't have to prove I'm better than
I play David, I'm a forth year letter man
So Letterman can you hear me knocking on the door
hard to breathe at this altitude where the oxygen is poor
think Benz, I don't know what Pontiac means
and this is what happens when an insomniac dreams
(Chorus)
We Chasin' the dream
so what is life the diamonds and the gleam
get a job while I'm doing
promise to stay true in it
doin' it
but promise to never let another soul ruin it
And things ain't what it seem
make money to spend it
I got my scheme
work hard while we doin' it
promise to stay true to it
doin' it
but promise to never let another soul ruin it
