DREAMS — STREET MELODIC VERSION

DREAMS — STREET MELODIC VERSION [INTRO — LOW / SPOKEN] LEAD: Yeah… They tried to take my dreams… Tried to take my peace… Tried to take the people I love… But I’m still right here. AD-LIB: Still here… Yeah… --- [HOOK — MELODIC / HARD] LEAD: Dreams in my head, they keep trying to take ’em from me, I been walking through the rain, ain't nobody came to hug me. Why the fake ones always win while the real ones taking losses? I done learned the hard way, everybody got a motive. DOUBLE: Trying to take ’em from me… Everybody got a motive… LEAD: If you lose me, that's the price I had to pay to find myself, I was standing in the rain with nobody there to help. Money don't mean shit if I can't share it with the ones I love, What good is being rich if everybody's gone when you look up? HARMONY — HIGH: Find myself… The ones I love… AD-LIB: Tell me what it's worth… --- [VERSE 1 — STREET STORYTELLING] LEAD: Where was you when I had nowhere to go? No room, no ride, just pain I couldn't show. Rain hitting my clothes, trying to keep my soul warm, Had to learn how to stand when my whole life felt torn. AD-LIB: Where was you? I remember… LEAD: They ain't see the nights I was battling alone, They just see the man now and assume I made it home. Everybody got advice when you're finally on your feet, But where was all that love when I was struggling in the street? DOUBLE — LAST LINE: Where was all that love? LEAD: I gave loyalty away and got betrayal in return, Some bridges had to burn just so I could watch and learn. I ain't changing who I am because somebody did me wrong, I just put it in these songs and let the pain become a song. HARMONY: Become a song… AD-LIB: Turn pain into power… --- [PRE-HOOK — BUILDING] LEAD: I don't wanna fake it just to fit into their world, I'd rather stand alone than let a fake one call me brother. If loving people deeply is the reason that I hurt, Then I'll carry every scar and still remember what they're worth. DOUBLE: Still remember… What they're worth… AD-LIB: I won't change… --- [HOOK — FULL LAYERS] LEAD: Dreams in my head, they keep trying to take ’em from me, I been walking through the rain, ain't nobody came to hug me. DOUBLE: Dreams in my head… Nobody came… HIGH HARMONY: Take ’em from me… Hug me… LEAD: Why the fake ones always win while the real ones taking losses? I done learned the hard way, everybody got a motive. AD-LIB: Everybody… I see it now… LEAD: If you lose me, that's the price I had to pay to find myself, I was standing in the rain with nobody there to help. HARMONY: Find myself… Nobody there… LEAD: Money don't mean shit if I can't share it with the ones I love, What good is being rich if everybody's gone when you look up? DOUBLE: Money don't mean shit… Everybody's gone… AD-LIB: Tell me what it's worth… --- [VERSE 2 — HARDER / MORE AGGRESSIVE] LEAD: I got dreams they can't bury, I got scars they can't see, Had to fight through some nights just to get back to me. They wanted me defeated, they were waiting on the fall, Now I'm building something bigger, I ain't listening at all. AD-LIB: No way… Not me… LEAD: Fake love comes cheap, real love costs everything, That's why I keep my circle small and protect what family brings. You can have the money, you can have the fame and lights, Just don't ask me to forget who stayed beside me through the nights. DOUBLE — LAST LINE: Stayed beside me through the nights… LEAD: I remember every cold night, every door that closed, Every person switched sides when they thought I wouldn't know. But the pain made me stronger, now I'm moving with a purpose, I'ma turn these broken chapters into something that is worth it. HARMONY: Worth it… AD-LIB: Watch me… --- [BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL / BEAT DROPS] LEAD: Money can buy a house… But it can't buy a home. Money can buy a car… But it can't make you less alone. HARMONY — SOFT: Can't make you less alone… LEAD: So if I ever make it, I'm taking everybody with me who was there when I had nothing. AD-LIB: That's real… Never forget… LEAD: And if I lose somebody trying to find myself… Maybe that's what it takes. HARMONY: Find yourself… --- [FINAL HOOK — BIGGEST MOMENT] LEAD: Dreams in my head, they keep trying to take ’em from me, I been walking through the rain, ain't nobody came to hug me. DOUBLE: Trying to take ’em from me… Ain't nobody came… HIGH HARMONY: Take ’em from me… Hug me… LEAD: Why the fake ones always win while the real ones taking losses? I done learned the hard way, everybody got a motive. AD-LIB: I know now! I see it! LEAD: If you lose me, that's the price I had to pay to find myself, I was standing in the rain with nobody there to help. HARMONY: Find myself… Nobody there… LEAD: Money don't mean shit if I can't share it with the ones I love, What good is being rich if everybody's gone when you look up? DOUBLE: Money don't mean shit… AD-LIBS — STACKED: Still chasing! Still here! I won't change! Can't take my dreams! Yeah! --- [OUTRO — RAW / QUIET] LEAD: They can take the money… They can take the cars… They can take the spotlight… But they can't take what's inside me. HARMONY: Can't take my dreams… LEAD: I stood in the rain… I made it through the pain… Now I'm chasing everything they told me I couldn't be. AD-LIB — FADE: Still chasing… Still me… Dreams…
