Dream
BJ The Chicago Kid Lyrics

Most people wake up if you ever turn the (lights on)
Many people get upset and cannot continue dreaming if someone turns the lights on and interrupts their sleep

'Cause it mess's up their dreams, they get mad like a (python)
The interruption of their sleep halts their dreams causing great anger similar to a python, which becomes angry when disturbed

Just like you, I'm tryna live my life (right)
Like everyone else, the artist is trying to live his life correctly and stay true to himself

And in the fight of life turn on the (lights)
To succeed in life, you need to turn on the metaphorical lights and face things head-on and make things visible instead of hiding in the dark

And if you do that, then you'll be fine
If you confront your problems and face them head-on, everything will start to fall into place and work out in your favor

'Cause I remember dreaming, dreaming as a kid of me getting older
The artist remembers dreaming about growing older and achieving his goals when he was a kid

And exactly what I'ma do
The artist has a clear vision of what he needs to do and what his goals are

I had to get ready 'cause I didn't know what time or place
The artist had to always be prepared because he didn't know when or where an opportunity would arise for him to achieve his goals

To make my dreams come true
The artist has worked hard to make his dreams come true and achieve his goals

I learned that you can't talk to losers 'bout winning
The artist has learned that it's useless to discuss winning with those who don't know the language of success

It ain't their language, they ain't never gonna get it
Success is not something everybody can understand or achieve, and no matter what you say or do, some people will never get it

And anything I can think of, I can make it come true
The artist believes in himself and his abilities and knows that if he thinks it, he can make it happen

Just look at me now, I'm on dream two
The artist has accomplished his initial dreams and has moved onto bigger and better goals

My nigga Rico Love said "turn the lights on"
The artist's friend Rico Love told him to face his fears head-on by shining a light on them, making them visible

'Cause you can see the truth a whole lot better with the lights on
The artist has learned that you can see your problems and face them more effectively when you shine a light on them and make them visible

Don't be afraid to turn the lights on
The artist encourages his audience to not be afraid of facing their problems head-on and shining the light on them to make them visible

I've learned to dream with the lights on
The artist has learned to face his fears and chase his dreams with clear vision and while facing his problems head-on

You just gotta find
To achieve your dreams and succeed, you need to discover your true calling and purpose in life

Just let your [?]
To discover your true calling and achieve your dreams, you need to allow yourself the freedom to explore and take risks

So I'll take it from here
The artist will take control of his own life and start working towards his goals from now on

I learned that you can't talk to losers 'bout winning
The artist has learned that it's useless to discuss winning with those who don't know the language of success

It ain't their language, they ain't never gonna get it
Success is not something everybody can understand or achieve, and no matter what you say or do, some people will never get it

And anything I can think of, I can make it come true
The artist believes in himself and his abilities and knows that if he thinks it, he can make it happen

Just look at me now I'm on dream two
The artist has accomplished his initial dreams and has moved onto bigger and better goals

My nigga Rico love say turn the light on
The artist's friend Rico Love told him to face his fears head-on by shining a light on them, making them visible

'Cause you can see the truth a whole lot better with the lights on
The artist has learned that you can see your problems and face them more effectively when you shine a light on them and make them visible

Don't be afraid to turn the lights on

I've learned to dream with the lights on
The artist has learned to face his fears and chase his dreams with clear vision and while facing his problems head-on

"Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive
Greatness isn't beyond human reach, impossible, or reserved only for a select few

God-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste, you know?
Greatness is not exclusive to certain individuals who are deemed 'special’; anyone who works hard enough can achieve it

It's something that truly exists in all of us
The capability for greatness resides within all people

It's very simple, this is what I believe and I'm willing to die for it
The artist believes that everyone is capable of greatness and he is willing to die to prove this point

"I know who I am, I know what I believe, and that's all I need to know"
The artist has a deep understanding of who he is as a person, what he stands for, and that this is all he needs to know in order to achieve his goals
