The Dream
Dj Cortez & Dj E-Dub Lyrics

I stay running sometimes I feel like The Pharcyde
I am constantly moving forward and facing challenges, just like the hip-hop group The Pharcyde.

Roller coaster ride mind speeds like my car drive
My mind is constantly racing and filled with thoughts, similar to the fast speed of my car.

Feeling bright don't live life in hindsight
I embrace positivity and focus on the present moment rather than dwelling on the past.

Catching stride feels like my times right
I feel like I am finding my rhythm and that this is the perfect time for me to succeed.

Stay pushing with my feet to the floor
I am determined and continuously working hard, giving my all to achieve my goals.

Both feet forward with my foot in the door
I am taking confident steps forward, with opportunities waiting for me to seize.

Wouldn't take no for an answer when I told them I'd flow
I refused to accept rejection when I expressed my talent and passion for music.

Never checked the status quo and said fuck what you know
I never conform to societal norms and disregard what others think, choosing to be true to myself.

I stay running right now I feels like it's our time
I am currently driven and believe that this is our moment to shine and succeed.

Reference the grind before the questions and realize
Reflecting on my hard work and determination reminds me of my purpose and keeps me motivated.

This life ain't no joke why most will not survive
Life can be challenging and difficult, which is why many people struggle to overcome its obstacles.

Pump life to the game make sure the bar's high
I bring energy and passion to the music industry, pushing the standards to new heights.

Stay pushing and you know we won't stop like the drop
We will continue to persevere and progress relentlessly, just like a never-ending beat drop.

Always open and you know its the top notch Colorado
We are always receptive to new ideas and maintaining a high level of quality, representing the excellence of Colorado.

Most will follow just like the cops
Many people will imitate us and our success, similar to how the police are often followed.

Cruising down the block like summer nights know it won't stop
We continue to make progress and move forward smoothly, just like enjoyable summer nights that never seem to end.

We stay running you know we won't stop
We remain determined and persistent, never giving up on our dreams.

We stay pushing you know we won't stop
We continue to work hard and strive for success, refusing to be deterred.

To what extent what you go to pursue your dreams
How far are you willing to go to achieve your dreams?

You know we won't stop
We are determined to keep pushing forward and never give up.

I stay pushing most might say I never had a chance
I persistently strive for success, even when others doubt my capabilities.

Now like Chance independent searching for a Gram
Similar to independent artist Chance the Rapper, I am searching for recognition and accolades.

Not the grams from the past now a better man
I am not referring to drugs or past mistakes, but rather striving to become a better person.

Grind hard work and goals plus a business plan
I combine dedicated effort, goal-setting, and strategic planning to achieve success.

More than paying costs to be your own boss
Being self-employed requires more than just financial expenses; it demands dedication and responsibility.

Seven years and counting since I punched someone's clock
I have been independent for seven years, no longer working for someone else and punching a time clock.

So I never looked back since I quit my last job
Once I left my previous employment, I never regretted my decision or considered turning back.

Doubled up the nine to five to make it less lonely at the top
I took on additional work to fill my time and alleviate the isolation that often comes with success.

Lucky to survive both beatdowns by the local cops
I consider myself fortunate to have escaped unharmed after being physically assaulted by the police on two occasions.

Chillin' in my house late night they would come and knock
Late at night, the police would disturb my peace by coming to my house and causing disruptions.

Meanwhile still pushing music up on every block
Despite the challenges, I persistently promote my music to as many places as possible.

Never caused harm actions finally got the point across
I have never intentionally harmed anyone, and my consistent actions eventually conveyed my message effectively.

All that matters energy that you put out with every thought
The most important thing is the positive energy we generate with our thoughts and intentions.

Always keep grinding never give up when they tell you stop
It is crucial to continue working hard and persevering, even when others discourage you from doing so.

Make the world a better place better water better crops
Strive to improve the world by focusing on important matters such as clean water and sustainable agriculture.

Never give up on your dreams promise me you'll never stop
I urge you to never abandon your dreams and make a promise to yourself that you will persistently pursue them.
