D-Red - Reachin' Lyrics

Wen I sleep I have dreams visions of living another lifestyle
Either I'm reaching for Heaven or demons pulling me down
Crazy how I dreaming of this reality
I think dreams is watching someone else paintinga fantasy
Wishing they was happy
Cuz in real life they really toring inside
Really need help but it's hard to put down dat pride
I kno
Ppl always aspecting somethin in return
So blind to our blessing cuz dollar bills wat we urn
So concerned on how high u can get
Got no one in yo ear talking bout politics
But quick to take a snap of they club fit
Dat type of ish
Is wat my city reaching for
Want attention cant show attention wen they c da poor
Jus tryna open the door
Clearly not lookin on the brighter side
Dark minded
We need to pray wit our heads up high
Hope u find it
In yo heart to have a helping hand
I hope one day we all will understand why dis man hands

Out to my ppl hope in time they reach back
I c the only time we come together dressed in all black
Retaliation is a must dats wen our mind starts to lack
If life was handed to ya y so quick to hand it right back
We so anxious to run to da media bout our problems
Like someone can jus solvem
But only u can dissolvem
Challenge ur inner self
And u will find nobody out here greater than u
Nobody can't take da truth
And for the youth
Left stranded and miss guided
Damn it eats my soul
How can da kids be da future da streets won't let'em grow
My city dieing out ppl ignorance starts to show
Only got one priority chasing after pesos
Majority of my lyrics i give out a good impression
They pass up on these songs the radio gotem effected
We graduate from college in our major and get rejected
From jobs saying u over qualified never give up keep

Momma for yrs u been dealin wit struggle
Yo progress reflects on music analyzed my brain
Somehow u still standing so strong from working them doubles
I remember them nights u try to run away from pain
But it still hurts inside
Like a cut wit peroxide
I was there by yo bedside
Wen u cried momma i cried
I can tell you was petrified
U taught me how to survive
No one could ever break our bond
I love you ma
