lyrics

(Verse 1)

Gather round young world
That’s if your still living
Get on down to this hope filled rhythm
People lend ya ears
As I bleed these lines
It’s enjoyable to know
That you feel just fine
I guess a dream
I’m selling it
They sitting in the dark
I let the sun shine in
Like a young Fifth Element
Woke up and took a big whiff of the heaven scent
Head held high, get a whiff of my elequence
Used to play ball
I was swinging for the fence
And that has been my daily goal
Probably ever since
I was a little boy
Basking in my innocence
They used to ridicule
Had to put on my defense
Dreams were worth way more than money
So even when it didn’t make dollars
It would still make sense
Funny without a bat
How I still make hits
This is real
Hope you will crank this

(Chorus)

I let the sun shine down
On my face as it beams
Cuz they’re never taking my self-esteem
I’m so focused, got a head full of steam
And when they ask what that all really means
I say I’m following dreams
I’m following dreams
I’m following dreams, following dreams
We can make it if we try

(Verse 2)

You can be whatever you want
I promise you, forreal
Bump what them haters talking bout
Just follow how you feel
I’m dishing food for thought
Let these words be meals
If ya glass half empty
I’ma serve refills
They probably say I’m corny
Cuz I’m always talking positive
But that’s to combat
All the negative they depositing
Stay up on grind
Just do what you do
I’m trying to have a beautiful day
U2?
I’m no Bono
Just a rap role model
For these kids in the world
Believing is the motto
For the boy who wants to rap
Or the girl who wants to model
If you got the energy
Then you can like Full Throttle
And if they hatin’
Cuz you doing ya thang
Just tell ‘em they could be doing the same
Reach your hands to the clouds
Turn this song real loud
And let the whole world know
That you following dreams

(Chorus)

I let the sun shine down
On my face as it beams
Cuz they’re never taking my self-esteem
I’m so focused, got a head full of steam
And when they ask what that all really means
I say I’m following dreams
I’m following dreams
I’m following dreams, following dreams
We can make it if we try

(Bridge)

And there ain’t no stop to this
I can’t help it, I’m an optimist
And we gon make your head bop to this
And in the end, you gon rock to this

(Chorus)

I let the sun shine down
On my face as it beams
Cuz they’re never taking my self-esteem
I’m so focused, got a head full of steam
And when they ask what that all really means
I say I’m following dreams
I’m following dreams
I’m following dreams, following dreams
We can make it if we try
