[Ab]
What if Jesus Christ came back and he was homeless?
I wonder [Bb] if any of us would even notice?
Speak [Cm] to him all the time, but really we don't know him, and everything we owe him, we don't never show him.
I finally [Ab] got it right, so I said that it was overdue.
[Bb] Try to treat people right, cause that's the golden rule.
They tell [Cm] me, Chelly, we ain't met no one as cold as you.
I tell them I remember having to eat moldy food.
[Ab] I try to stay confident and humble, but that's a hard [Bb] balance.
Cause in my life I probably slept on a hundred [Cm] couches.
I've been through so much and now I tell the world about it.
Can't believe I made it.
I was so [Ab] doubted.
I went to jail for the pact that I pieced [Bb] out.
My people left me out to dry like a [Cm] beach towel.
I can see the stars, they in my reach now.
I told my daddy he could finally sleep in precious [Ab] glass pipes.
How much can I take?
Got my [Bb] hands to the sky, searching for a break.
My knees on [Cm] the ground, my head about to break.
I'm talking to the Lord, I need a better way.
I only dream [Ab] while I'm awake.
I only dream while I'm [Bb] awake.
[Cm] I only dream while I'm awake.
[Eb] I only dream while I'm awake.
[Ab] There's two sort of dreams in life.
The one you [Bb] have while you're asleep, or the one that you stay awake [Cm] just to chase.
There's no telling how many miles you may or may not have to walk just to catch your dream.
But always [Ab] remember, dream is if you'll live [Bb] forever, and live is if you'll die [Cm] today.
Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.
[Ab] I always felt rejected, never accepted.
[Bb] Came in this game hoping they would make [Cm] exceptions.
Now I got these critics always dissecting every mixtape, but I don't need they suggestions.
[Ab] This my direction, my own lane, my own [Bb] thing.
My own squad, my legang, it's [Cm] A-game.
When I started, they told me that I would never buzz.
They said a white boy can't rap about selling [Ab] drugs.
They said that I was stupid, said I was [Bb] acting wild.
But if that's all I know, what else could I rap [Cm] about?
And if it wasn't for God and the fans, I'd probably still be somewhere weighing [Ab] grams.
And I know how it stick up feels, and how [Bb] it feels to go to Florida just to pick up pills.
[Cm] All the way in Cali, about to ship that Kia.
Shit been real, man I gotta get this deal.
[Ab] How much can I take?
Got my hands [Bb] to the sky, searching for a break.
Got my [Cm] knees on the ground, my head up while I pray.
I'm talking to the Lord, I need a better way.
I only dream while [Ab] I'm awake.
I [Bb]
only dream while [Cm] I'm awake.
I only dream while I'm awake.
I only dream [Ab] while I'm awake.
I'm still living in the moment, [Bb] the money won't last.
The reason why I blow [Cm] it, rapping my ass off, but critics don't hear it.
Will they judge me by the lyrics, or [C] my appearance?
[Ab] It's sad that this industry is all about the image [Bb] now.
You can only make it if you got a [Cm] gimmick now.
They told me they want me to change, man that shit is wild.
They said that I was too brash and I should simmer [Ab] down.
I said I'm really from the streets, bitch I [Bb] get around.
Out of town, looking for someone to front me 50 [Cm] pounds.
This rap shit is [Cm] cool, no denying it.
I just pray I never take my skates out of [Ab] retirement.
How much can I take?
Got my hands to [Bb] the sky, searching for a break.
Got my knees [Cm] on the ground, my head up while I pray.
I'm talking to the Lord, I need a better way.
[Eb] I only dream while [Ab] I'm awake.
I only dream while [Bb] I'm [Cm] awake.
How much [Ab] can I take?
Got my [Bb] hands to the sky, searching for a break.
