See, I got dreams and I'm really trying to live those So I'm going through life with my lids closed Trying to show my true life with a pencil And a pen, but if I had a nickel For every time that I rhyme with a sick flow Or someone tell me man you gonna be big bro I'll buy a big boat, and a mint coat Or a school in Africa where the kids don't Have access, like the rich folks And my address, will be a ZIP code That's a big mansion if you didn't know But I never had shit and I still don't So my point is, that I've been told Hella times that I really shoulda been blow And though I haven't, It's okay for now I'm in the stands till the man says come on down Like A-1 It's your night tonight You can shine real bright if the price is right I'mma live my dream I've waited a long while For them to call my name and say come on down I don't know if I'mma win the showcase but I better cuz I ain't tryna sit up in the audience forever so If it's all the same I'mma chill up here till they call my name I'm a king like cash is But I ain't even got a king size mattress Shit I ain't even got a small size mattress Sometimes it feels like I'm sleeping on a cactus On the road couch surfin' but the fact is I'm trying to travel the globe without an ad list So till I hit that gold it's only practice For when I reach the masses but in the meantime my back is Hurting like a bitch from these floors I sleep on Fuck that do a yoga stretch and keep going pain that's a party to pursue I'm nothing without hunger and I'm dissing for the youth They fight over the money but I fight over the truth So, when I spit an angel sitting right over the booth I could use a couple of vows So I ain't mad if the man say come on down Like A-1 It's your night tonight You can shine real bright if the price is right I'mma live my dream I've waited a long while For them to call my name and say come on down I don't know if I'mma win the showcase but I better cuz I ain't tryna sit up in the audience forever so If it's all the same I'mma chill up here till they call my name Like A-1 A-1 A-1 A-1 A-1 (Etc)
