Uhh
Let me tell you 'bout my homie he was 14
he been searching truth
like forever having more dreams
and he couldn't settle for the basics or the court thing
Yeah my dude just had a feeling no morphine
yeah my boy had concerns like a thousand
he been climbing hope for a minute, no mountain
and they all different that i can't stop counting
hotel thought he crazy need counceling
and then, dude sayin I'm dying enough
Yeah I'm gonna just do it like shia labeouf
I'm going straight up baby to the Man that I trust
cause I know what's real so I'm going with guts
and my homie just basic no Einstein
yeah he never had a playlist or a timeline
and he just like us no limelight
until they both came down from the skyline
(Jay Warren)
We gone bring it back for you baby more dreams
and if you got questions then you know you gone see
so I'm gone bring it back for ya
know I'm gonna bat for ya
I know where you at when you go to your knees
we gone bring it back for ya baby more dreams
and if you got questions then you know you gone see
so imma bring it back for ya
know i'm gonna bat for ya
I know where ya at when you go to your knees
(James)
Flash forward when I find out about this miracle
yeah your boy going crazy like hysterical
yo I gotta tell my story like parables
and that's a vow to you folks no marittal
and if that I told you my life a bad dream
on a slippery slope I ain't talking vaseline
in that real world baby I ain't talking casting
need a new life for me something that'll last me
yeah your boy fasting so I turn new leaf
had a fresh start coming like we made a new beat
took life like it's granted so I let it pass me
gave up on the wheel so i took the back seat
this real where you be no re-fried
here some truth for your soul don't deny
this a peice of the pie like keylime
and did it ever really happen you decide
(Jay Warren)
We gone bring it back for ya baby more dreams
and if you got questions then you know you gone see
so I'm gone bring it back for ya
know I'm gonna bat for ya
I know where ya at when you go to your knees
We gone bring it back for ya baby more dreams
and if you got a question then you know you gone see
so I'm gone bring it back for ya
know I'm gonna bat for ya
I know where ya at when you go to your knees
We gone bring it back for ya baby more dreams
and if you got a question then you know you gone see
so I'm gone bring it back for ya
know I'm gonna bat for ya
I know where ya at when you go to your knees
We gone bring it back for ya baby more dreams




and if you got a question then you know you gone see
so I'm gone bring it back for ya
