The Dream
The Dean's List Lyrics

I'll be up when the forest dims
I will be awake when the sun sets and the sky turns dark.

And the night turn red
As the night progresses, the darkness seems to fade into the color red.

And the red turns white again
And as time passes, the color of the night turns to white again.

I'll be up in the morning
I will be awake in the morning, ready to tackle the day.

Late at night we gettin' [?]
At night, emotions and actions intensify and become more complex.

When the keys come in, when the keys come in
When the tools for success arrive, we must be ready to use them.

(When the world go up, up, up)
In times of progress and success, we must also remain cautious and aware.

My momma, she just so worried
My mother is concerned about my future and well-being.

All of my friends they just say hurry
My friends are impatient for me to achieve my goals and become successful.

Hurry up and make it so we can live
They want me to succeed so we can all benefit and live a better life.

Cause' they just wanna' see if I'll ever get rich
They are curious and eager to see if my dreams of wealth and success will come true.

And maybe when I do I'll buy the bar
When I become successful, I may indulge in luxuries such as owning a bar.

Everything is true fame isn't far
Success and recognition are possible, and it is up to us to achieve them.

Even if it is I won't admit it
Even if I become successful, I will not let it get to my head or change who I am.

Maybe if I did I'd be acquitted
Perhaps if I did let success change me, I would be excused for it.

I don't wanna' know what lies ahead
I am unsure and nervous about what the future holds for me.

She just wanna' know what size the bed?
Someone else only cares about superficial things like the size of a bed, instead of more important matters.

Never found love but just when I did
I have never experienced romantic love, but maybe I have just found it.

I realized maybe I should of quit
After finding love, I am unsure if I should continue pursuing success or quit and focus on love.

My momma she just the bestest
My mother is the best and most supportive person in my life.

Dropped up out of school so how could you test it?
I dropped out of school, so there is no way to measure or compare my success to others.

You just wanted proof so I did the work
Others needed proof of my potential, so I worked hard to show them what I am capable of.

Cheated on girls, yea I did the worst
I have made mistakes and hurt people in my past relationships.

You never been a leader, well you should try
If you have never led or taken control, you should try and step out of your comfort zone.

Real or fake it's yours to decide
It is up to you to determine what is authentic and genuine in life.

But everything gold and vivid and true yo
Success, achievements, and happiness are vivid and genuine when felt in their truest form.

Yea she ain't star cause she colder than pluto
Someone who is cold and unemotional does not have the qualities of a true star.

They say money can't be happiness, no
It is often said that money is unable to bring happiness.

Will I be happy when I'm rich not poor?
I wonder if I will be happier when I am rich and not struggling financially.

And I don't never have to beg anymore, more, more
When I become successful, I hope to never have to struggle or beg for basic necessities again.
