7) Dreams Come True ft. Lokes

[Lipset]
Hey, follow me, come with me to the perfect place
You know tomorrow’s gonna be a brand new day
If you don’t follow, you’re gonna find out your own way
And while you do it let me write the record to it!
See when I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I said
“Why would you wake up and go walking with the dead?” And then,
That thought to me seemed so severe,
It flipped up on a light inside that made me feel kind of weird
Like where my fears come from?
Where do my tears come from?
When I’m getting ready to move where do the gears come from?
And I ain’t saying that I know, but I know what I’m saying is
Pretty close to what I was trying to explain
And it’s my authentic name, how I often can make
A cryogenic freezer just to preserve the flame,
Save a spot up at the top, but I reserve the same
So don’t come at me like you’re gonna keep me out the game
Cause this was a dream of mine since I was 8 or 9
When I awoke at 21 just to find that dreams
Came true in the booth whenever I rhyme
Unconscious on a track like I’m severing the mind
And that’s why, this was all I ever wanted
So I had to do it or the thought would leave me haunted (haunted)
Now it’s amazing, you feel the tracks that we’ve brung you
Because it’s obvious you’re listening to dreams come true…

[Lokes]
Close your eyes and drift away
To another world where the drama be lost
And the only thing left is a paper and a pen
Sitting in the palms of the last standing man
Go and take your time, document your life
Carve your name in the game with the edge of a knife
So when the dust clears and the stars shine bright
Do what you do to be you
While you listen to a dream come true

[Lipset]
My picture ain’t much different when I paint
The image you feel the pain of anyone in the game
Who came before me trying to carve out a name
My pen, my pad, pencil and paper the same
But I was born Samuel until they saw my face
My mother said, “That’s a ‘Michael’” and I took my place
On this Earth, named after the tools I’d grace
It’s a curse and in case you try to reverse it don’t waste
Your magic on me, I taste too bitter homie,
And plus it’s in my bony body
Delivery is oddly similar to the godly beats you feel when you’re walking
Hearing your feet-a-falling soft, a-1-2, a-1-2
In my heart and I quote, a poet giving you hope
Nobody knew the breadth and scope
When I took my stethoscope under my desk at home
Put it straight up to the speakers and blacked out
Now I’m still in the zone, imagined a packed house
Imagined a hot night, I dreamt of a time when
I would stand under spot lights
Not for the fame alone, but to heal your pained soul
And tell you there’s more to life than upgrading your plain clothes
And that’s why this was all I ever wanted
But I had to do it or the thought would leave me haunted (haunted)
Now it’s amazing, you feel the tracks that we’ve brung you
Because it’s obvious you’re listening to dreams come true…

[Lokes]
Close your eyes and drift away
To another world where the drama be lost
And the only thing left is a paper and a pen
Sitting in the palms of the last standing man
Go and take your time, document your life
Carve your name in the game with the edge of a knife
So when the dust clears and the stars shine bright
Do what you do to be you
While you listen to a dream come true
