The Dream
J. Morgan Lyrics

Work
Putting in effort and labor

The dream is a scheme
The aspiration or goal is an elaborate plan

Hustle
Engaging in a determined and resourceful pursuit

The scheme is a dream
The plan or strategy is an ambitious vision

Grind
Persistently working hard and overcoming obstacles

Repeat
Continuously and consistently doing the same actions

I fell asleep with my shoes on my feet
I was so focused and determined that I didn't even take off my shoes before resting

Dreams of tomorrow had alarm clocks beat
My aspirations for the future were so strong that they woke me up before my alarm

A long climb to the top yo I'm reachin’
Achieving success is a difficult and challenging journey that I am striving for

No summer I be schoolin’ all seasons
I am constantly learning and improving myself, not just during summertime but all year round

The people all schemin’
Many individuals around me are devising crafty plans

Don't get ya feelings hurt livin’ with these demons
Living amidst these negative influences can be emotionally damaging, so be aware

Satan’s callin a private I.D. and
Evil temptations are persistently trying to entice and lead me astray

I’ll answer the fire’s for me
I will respond and face the challenges and trials that come my way

The water’s cold jump in you get adjusted
Taking risks and diving into unfamiliar situations may initially be uncomfortable, but you adapt

We all drink the same poison Movin’ sluggish
We are all consuming harmful influences that slow us down and cloud our judgment

Fight everyday not to fall to a substance
Every day, I struggle to resist succumbing to addictive and destructive behaviors

Rappers die everyday like it’s nothin’
Artists in the music industry frequently face downfall and failure, as if it's an everyday occurrence

Gotta work hard gotta be worth somethin’
I must exert great effort and prove my value to make a difference

Don’t wanna be another slave to the public
I refuse to be controlled and manipulated by the opinions and demands of the masses

Try to make ‘em proud so I’m always out hustlin’
I continually strive to impress others and gain their approval, so I'm constantly working and pursuing opportunities

Maybe when I die I’ll be worth lovin’
Perhaps after my death, my true value and worth will be recognized and appreciated

Supreme with the schemes when I’m breaking the mic
I excel in executing my plans and strategies when I'm performing on the microphone

Snakes on a leash or their head on a pike
Individuals who betray and deceive are either under my control or will face severe consequences

You ain’t feeling the truth they ain’t speakin’ it right
If you don't understand the authenticity and genuineness of my words, then others are not conveying them correctly

Making these moves while they sleepin’ at night
I am taking significant actions and progressing while others are unaware and inactive during nighttime

Tossin’ and turnin’ igniting the candle
I am restless and restless, fueling my passion and motivation

While both ends be burnin’ up
Despite being consumed by both ends, I am still fiercely driven and determined

We just so certain of this shit so turn it up plug on the tree plus the heat burn it up
We are incredibly confident and assured in our abilities, so crank up the volume, connect with us, and let the energy soar

Dante’s inferno I trek through it burn slow
I navigate through a metaphorical hell, enduring the struggle and adversity at a gradual pace

Escape through a worm hole gotta go
I find an escape route through unconventional means, and I must seize the opportunity and move forward

Pass the peace pipe and then fall like Geronimo
After resolving conflicts and finding peace, I descend or leap like Geronimo, embracing the unknown

Finna do it if they said it’s impossible
I am determined to accomplish something even if others claim it cannot be done

Prodigal sun up saga continues spilling this lava straight through the venue
As a prodigal individual, the ongoing story spills with passion and intensity, captivating the audience

We really about it
We are genuinely committed and dedicated to our pursuits

Most just pretend to
But many others only feign dedication and commitment

Vicious
Showing extreme determination and ferocity

Putting rappers down who dug their own ditches
I relentlessly criticize and discredit rappers who created their own problems and hardships

I don’t work for the paper
My motivation and purpose are not driven by money or material gain

It work for me
Instead, I make money and resources serve my goals and aspirations

I don’t stunt for my neighbors
I do not seek to impress or show off to those around me

I work the street
I actively engage and excel in the urban environment, street culture, and hustle

I don’t ask you for favors
I am independent and self-reliant, preferring not to rely on others

I search for heat
I seek out challenges and intense competition to push myself and grow

You a industry whore
You are a person who is easily influenced and manipulated by the music industry

Go and work the street
You should go and experience the real world and grind in the streets like I do

I purge the beat
I cleanse and purify the rhythm and flow of music with my presence and talent

I work with an effort unmatched
My dedication and hard work surpass the efforts of others

People calling my name
Many individuals recognize and acknowledge my name and achievements

But I never go back
However, I never dwell on past accomplishments or rest on my laurels

You can say it’s the same
You may argue that my approach may seem similar or repetitive

I don’t follow those tracks
But I refuse to conform and adhere to conventional paths and expectations

You can say I’m insane
You may perceive me as crazy or unconventional

I don’t fall in those traps
Yet I avoid being ensnared by those limitations and traps

Trapped in the belly of the beast no exit
Feeling confined and trapped within a hostile environment with no clear way out

Facts if you ever said he feels no pressure
Indeed, if anyone claims that I am not affected by pressure, it is a false statement

Actually I can only be so patient
In reality, my patience only extends to a certain extent

How the fuck can the hate be so blatant?
I am astounded by the extent and obviousness of the animosity directed towards me

Blankets of lies fake in disguise
Falsehoods and deception cloaked in a deceptive facade

You tell he’s fake cause it’s blank in his eyes
You can easily discern someone's falseness when their eyes lack sincerity or depth

You can see he’s fake by the way he relates to the snakes
It becomes evident that someone is fake based on how they associate and interact with deceitful individuals

Imma stack cake my reply
In response, I will accumulate wealth and success
