Dreams
Marlo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I finally got the means
To support all my dreams
I'm tired of being patient
Walked a path
Not too many niggas taking
And look where that got me
Right here
Except can't nobody stop me
Cuz I seen it
Thru the eyes of another
Word to mother
Got to watch after brother
Take care of my sister
Too fast did I miss ya
Show respect yes mister
So if I don't get it back
That's you
Any issues after that
That's on you too
Been a cool dude
I just look mean
Unapproachable
But not by any means
My mind goes to places
Not dark or nothing
Just to the start of something
Just to push a button
Spark a fuse
Meet a bad chick
Use her as a muse
Then I move on
I got my own life
Not too many right
That can get me right
So all I do is write
At the end of the night
Just tryna tell these stories
Hope they can help
Music is therapy
Just tryna help myself
Cuz I need the most work
Always hated homework
Like why do this
Then I learned
To get thru this
Life
You need a lil practice
It's light
At the end of the tunnel
Vision
2020
These the days that we living
Hope you get it
God knows that I'm trying
I'd be lying
If I said I didn't wanna give up
But I can't
It is not within
Holding on too long again
That's my sin
And I live with it
Holding on too long again




That's my sin
Now watch me get it in
