Hook:
Why can't everything be like it is in my dreams,
I live life happy and we smile w/ ease.
Everything's cool and we play by the rules;
there's no tragedies reported by the news.
Nothin gets us down cuz we stay standin up
I'm on top of the world cuz I never gave up.
I live life good cuz my friends are the best;
they stay by my side cuz I passed life's test.
So why cant everything be like it is when I'm sleepin
cuz when I'm awake all I hear is keep dreamin.
Shh�Keep dreamin�shh�keep dreamin
[RAP 1]
I wake up every day wonderin what's gonna happen,
its been a couple years since I done started rappin.
I wanna go places but I know I ain't gone make it,
so I just sit at home, I smile and I fake it,
I pretend like my life's all good and gravy,
but the truth is I been pretty shitty lately.
Can't figure out what I'm doin here,
I'm lost in life that�s why no one sees the tear
that�s rollin down my cheek
cuz all my secrets I keep,
no one's gonna see cuz they're buried really deep.
This cant be the plan that God's made for me,
cuz I ain't done nuthin wrong but I still pray for me.
In the past I've prolly asked for a lot,
but it was never money or a pure gold watch.
Its always sentimental and straight from the heart,
but I cant count how many times my wishes got shot,
so I'll just go to sleep, so I don�t keep fallin apart.

[RAP 2]
the world's so crazy I just can't explain it,
there's many different flavors but its sour when I taste it.
I know there's a sweet spot and my tooth is achin,
I gotta get it soon or there's no mistakin,
about how this'll end, tragedy again,
but no just for me, it'll be for all a them,
for every single person that I represent,
who never throw a fit, and just live life like it is,
they can't say a word so that�s why I'm steppin in,
maybe I'll be heard and someone will notice
cuz we gotta give hope to those that are hopeless,
cuz without it we're all screwed to death.
Cuz out here you don�t know what to expect,
so I gotta dream cuz it relieves my stress.

[RAP 3]
This the last rap, so I'm doin it for you,
the best thing in my life,
the only thing that beats true.
I can't explain exactly what ya do,
but I sit and watch the clock,
I can't wait to talk to you.
Every day it�s a rush
and I don't get that feelin much,
so really what I'm sayin,
is without you life would suck.
I don�t even know why I'm feelin like this
cuz every deep feelin I've tried to dismiss.
Cuz I know I cant have you,
its more likely I'll get rich,
but every time I try, it never seems to work.
I wish it would cuz I don�t like feelin hurt.
The top girls in your life, I'm nowhere near to first,
I know you still like me and I'm nowhere near the worst
but not being able to have you, hurts me still,
so I'll just go to sleep and dream I got you fa real.
