Full-Time Dream (feat. Lamar Riddick) Video (MV)

Ayo, I prayed for this, wake up early and stayed up late for this
Bet on myself, ran every base for this
Plan A only, no replacing this,cooked up the meal and washed the plate for this
I'ma dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on

Phone went off at 7:30, snoozing til it's 9 am
Clothes on, grab my lunch and dip, clock in to my job at 10
Clock out off of my job at 7, come home, put my kid to bed
9 o'clock, I'm tired as crap, but these bars ain't gon' write themselves, and
Stages don't secure themselves, stakes is high and funds be low, but
These the times you push some more, and go forth when you they tell you "no"
Verses on my lunch and spent my 15 trying to book a show
Never reap the harvest if you never take the time to sow
May not be all I wanna be, but I'll be what I can be
No less an artist when priorities are with my family
See you can a run a verse back, or re-rehearse tracks, or
Sign a better deal, but when you're raising kids, there ain't no Plan B
My values different, so I get if you can't understand me
Recalling purpose when the inspiration tank is empty
Won't miss my shots 'cause of laziness, so afraid for this
Push every day for this, paid for this, fam, I'm made for this

Ayo, I prayed for this, wake up early and stayed up late for this
Bet on myself, ran every base for this
Plan A only, no replacing this, cooked up the meal and washed the plate for this
I'ma dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Hey you know what's funny? I did about a hundred shows
On an empty tummy with no gas money
Churches hate to pay, but they say they love me
And I still passed the collection plate and dropped a 20
All they see is dedication, all they hear is lyrics
They don't see my brother's adjudication and hearing
They just see the gift, they don't care about the rapper
I just got paid on the 5th, money gone like the Rapture
Put a grand in a show, only 50 people show
Half of them already know, other half ain't pay at door
I done sent so many emails, feel like I'm running campaign
ITunes got my music on retail, I may never get paid
If you like this track double tap like it's Twitter
If you think it's wack, swipe left like on Tinder
In the meantime, you can mingle with these singles
Gotta work this 9 to 5 so my dinner will not be Pringles, let's go

Ayo, I prayed for this, wake up early and stayed up late for this
Bet on myself, ran every base for this
Plan A only, no replacing this, cooked up the meal and washed the plate for this
I'ma dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on

So much conviction on this verse, it's tough to say I wrote this
This for my artist-creatives, 'cause so few of us know this
If you put work for claps and reposts, you gon' end up hopeless
Royalty checks in the Kingdom only get paid in motives
Sometimes, I miss - back in the day when I didn't know what this art could do for me
The way this mortgage set up Often songs ain't what they used to be
Creating just to make your playlist, that's what I could choose to be
But That's not what I'm made to be, it's just what I'd get
Paid to be, if I was getting paid, if music brought the contents
Of my dinner plates, that might just be my sprint but not my finished race
Tthe place of pain I wrestle through, to Face the prideful, jealous you
And thank God he ain't give you what you asked for when you tell Him to
Faithful over few things, budget on that shoestring
Working past my mood swings, God said make my name so Famous
Shine my greatness, shout Kirk Franklin, that's why you sing
Above what you could ask or think I do
Things man

Ayo, I prayed for this, wake up early and stayed up late for this
Bet on myself, ran every base for this
Plan A only, no replacing this,cooked up the meal and washed the plate for this
I'ma dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
Dream on, Dream on
