Mmm wha uh uh uh oh
Woah woah mm
Everyday be feeling like nothings changing
Im on a grind im hoping that it will change me
Bullets fly we aint shooting for the cams
Will I really be a star or am I dreaming
Will I really be star
Will I really be a star or am I dreaming
Tell me will I really be a star or am I dreaming
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh
I'm Fiend it's my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh
I'm fined it's my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
Getting high on that chance to succeed
I feel lost more pain over grief
You move different when you that they decease
And if I have to lose then im goin fall like a beast
I will never step faulty for another nigga
My visions perfect I be striving up for something bigger
Fuck a 9 to 5 I seen the bigger picture
And if you aint what you claim then I cannot risk it
Everyday be feeling like nothings changing
Im on a grind im hoping that it will change me
Bullets fly we aint shooting for the cams
Will i really be a star or am i dreaming
Will I really be a star
Will I really be a star
Will I really be a star or am I dreaming
Tell me will I really be a star or am I dreaming
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh
Im fined its my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh
Im fined it's my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
The lyrics to H. Shikawa's song "Dreamland" convey a sense of longing and ambition, as well as the struggles and sacrifices one faces in pursuit of their dreams. The opening lines suggest a feeling of stagnation, with each day feeling the same and the singer hoping for a change. The reference to being on a grind implies a dedicated effort towards achieving success, but also raises the question of whether it will truly lead to their desired outcome or if it's all just a dream.
The line "Bullets fly we ain't shooting for the cams" can be interpreted metaphorically, suggesting that the challenges and obstacles faced are more serious and significant than just seeking attention or fame. This highlights the real-life risks and sacrifices involved in pursuing one's dreams. The repeated question of whether the singer will really be a star or if it's all just a dream reflects the uncertainty and self-doubt that often accompany such aspirations.
The second part of the song introduces themes of emotional vulnerability and the need for human connection. The singer drinks to numb their pain and seeks solace in the company of another person, expressing a genuine desire to hold them close. This indicates a longing for emotional support and a reminder that amidst the pursuit of dreams, human connection and love remain essential.
Overall, "Dreamland" is a song that captures the hope, uncertainty, and emotional struggles that come with chasing one's dreams, while emphasizing the importance of personal connections and self-reflection along the way.
