Rich Dreams

I used to dream about big bills, pretty women and alcohol. Ain’t nothing changed except now I’m doing what I set out to do. I ain’t even reach my altitude. Singing off key so the crowd can boo. But not giving a damn about it all and shake floor till the ground get loose. We see the glitz and the pearls and think that’s the way of life. Not knowing these lil white girls don’t know they left from right. See the dame in pretty clothes but don’t know she carrying a venereal and soon as you see it you gon be hepa-tight. I think I dealt with enough shit to know my latrines well. I’ve dealt with enough jockeys to know they feen well. Do me a favor and jump off, now pick a spot. No matter where I go they always gonna follow me to the top.

Staying in a traphouse that got like 20 different types of weaponry. Moved outta ya momma house and knew she was sickened medically. But you just left to be a gangster saying it was ya destiny. Mom left you with four words of discouragement saying “you’re dead to me”. How do you reverse those eyes from tryna look at you daringly. Ain’t satisfied with ya life so you wanna live vicariously/ through someone else and see you been doing wrong and nothing else. Expecting angels to help you but can’t even help ya fuckin self.

In a time where I long to blow up and reach pinnacle heights. My heartbeat is a constant reminder of why I’m here to write. Out of darkness and into light. That star I’m reaching for is gettin bright. Eyes wide open ain’t nothin gunna go dim my sight. Long as I’m here you know nothing is gunna block my path. Like sitting in the front row desks you know I’mma be ahead the class.

Insight: This was written from my views on fame and notoriety. When people talk about being rich and famous, theses things mentioned in my writing come to mind. Verse 1 deals with what is held behind the curtain of fame. Because we often see celebrities living fancy lives, we assume they are living to perfection. Not knowing they are actually hiding something the public isn’t aware of. Verse 2 talks about what people will do just to gain fame. If they are really obsessed they will forget their life and live out a celebs life instead. Verse 3 talks about reaching the top (top being fame). Many struggle to reach their dreams and I am one of those many people.
