Livin the Dream
Qveen Herby Lyrics

Woke up with views of the city
I started the day with a beautiful sight of the city, feeling grateful and inspired.

Top of the hill, shit is crazy
Being at the peak, everything seems unbelievable and surreal.

Thinkin' 'bout hard times have made me
Reflecting on the difficult times in the past that shaped my journey and character.

And, somehow, I became the boss
Through hard work and determination, I managed to achieve a position of authority.

I pick up my check and go
I collect my paycheck and swiftly move on to the next task or responsibility.

I got a roof to roll
I have a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle to enjoy.

I swipe my Black Card at the Balenciaga Store
I effortlessly use my high-end credit card to make extravagant purchases at luxury stores like Balenciaga.

I don't make dinner anymore
I no longer have to cook meals for myself since others take care of it for me.

That's what the chief here for
There is someone designated to handle the task of cooking for me.

I didn't always have it, but I still kinda miss
Although I didn't always have this luxurious lifestyle, there are moments when I still reminisce about the past.

Just rollin' in our mouse car knowin' we were rock stars
Driving around in our small, humble car, feeling like we were the stars of the show.

Didn't have the cash for gas, we had to hit the Coinstar
We couldn't afford gas money, so we had to exchange coins at a Coinstar machine to get by.

Makin' big plans, ten bucks in my hand
Despite having only ten dollars, we still dared to dream big and make ambitious plans.

And workin' through the weekend
We dedicated our time and effort to work even on weekends to pursue our goals.

When we were broke as hell, when we were singin' on the street
During our financially tough times, we resorted to street performances to make ends meet.

It was the best of times, McDonald's booths had weed
Despite the struggles, those moments felt like the best because even McDonald's booths provided a sense of escape and enjoyment.

We built it all ourselves, cheap smoke and strong caffeine
We created everything from scratch, relying on affordable vices like low-cost cigarettes and powerful coffee to keep us going.

It felt like new bullshit then, but we were livin' the dream
At that time, the obstacles and challenges felt overwhelming, but looking back, we realize we were actually living our dreams.

Learned how to steer this Mercedes
I acquired the skills and knowledge to navigate and control a luxurious Mercedes car.

Workin' all those hours at the valet (at the valet)
I put in long hours working as a valet, hustling to earn a living.

Never let prosperity change me (neva' change me)
Despite achieving success and prosperity, I remained true to myself and didn't let it alter my core values or personality.

I worked like I could lose it all (like I could lose it all)
I put in relentless effort and worked as if everything could be taken away from me at any moment.
