A Dream
Adam Calhoun feat. Jelly Roll Lyrics

Had a dream I woke up in an old pickup truck
Dreamt of waking up in an old pickup truck

Had a dream I said, look at me I said
Dreamt of saying 'look at me'

I had a dream
Just a repetition of the previous lines

Bitch I
An expression of confidence

Bitch I had a dream
Reiterating previous lines

This shit weighs a ton on my chest it feels heavy
Burdened with the weight of past experiences

Woke up in this old broke down Chevy
Realized the current state of his life

Years of it prime passed by time forgotten
Prime years gone by, forgotten with time

Truck bed rusted out, tires dry rotted
Truck in a state of disrepair

Gotta three speed shifter on the column bunch of mileage
An old style truck with high mileage

Never went to college but got a bunch of knowledge
Lack of formal education but extensive knowledge obtained through experience

Got some old school hank and some waylon in the background
Listening to old classic songs in the background

Thinkin bout how I came up cause I never backed down
Reflecting on how he succeeded without giving up

Failures a good thing, you don't failing you're not trying
Embracing failure as part of the process of trying

People say I can't achieve it I say stop lying
Challenging those who doubt him to stop lying

Im top five and never thought i'd be where I am am
Achieving a high level of success despite the odds

Livin out my dreams, but still feelin like i'm dyin dyin
Despite success, there's still an internal struggle

Sittin on this old withered seat
Sitting in a deteriorating seat, reflecting on life

the roots grow through this old truck from the old willow tree
Nature taking over the old, unused truck

But yall dont hear me though even though I speak the truth
Feeling ignored despite speaking the truth

Gotta a bunch of gold records, what else do I need to do
Questioning what's left to accomplish after achieving great success

I say i'm dreamin
Acknowledging that he's still dreaming despite success

I can wake up any second
Knowing that it can all disappear at any moment

Yall been streamin all my records i've been cooking up like breakfast
Acknowledge the success of his work

I'm just thankful for the blessings
Grateful for what he has

Truth is you can do this music and lose it as fast as you get it
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of success in the music industry

Father forgive me for I am a sinner
Asking for forgiveness for past mistakes

All of the times i do not remember
Acknowledging forgotten memories due to past behavior

All of the crimes that i have committed
Admitting to past criminal behavior

Addicted to women and poisonous venom
Acknowledging past unhealthy addictions

The pain i feel no less
Feeling the consequences of past mistakes

I'm dreaming of dayIi wake up with no stress
Dreaming of a stress-free life

Time winds like a rolex
Time passes quickly

till then its a nightmare wake up with cold sweats
Current life is a nightmare, causing anxiety

All of them nights I would drink and them was popping pills
Admitting to past substance abuse

Cocaine residue on rolled up dollar bills
Further evidence of past drug use

Late nights early mornings
Acknowledging the long hours put into work

Crack of dawn
Working through the early hours of the morning

mama yawning
Acknowledging the toll work takes on family

outside raining is pouring
Setting the scene of a bleak environment

in the basement weed is growing
Growing drugs in the basement

Police patrol on the regular, we don't blow on that regular
Concealing illegal activities from law enforcement

Take the safe and the register.
Committing robbery for quick cash

I know enemies having dreams that they beheaded
Acknowledging the existence of enemies

Just be quiet don't wake the devil up
Avoiding trouble by staying quiet

Bitch we done leveled up
Celebrating the achievement of success

Not afraid of any man when i'm at war with myself
Confronting internal struggles and overcoming them

Went face to face with my demons and I sold water in hell
Confronting past challenges and succeeding against all odds

I'm just trying to make music and raise my daughter as well
Balancing family and work

I'd rather wake up this truck then to be locked in a cell ah hell
Grateful for the current situation, no matter how dire it may seem
