Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'ma chase my dream
Comin' to America like Prince Hakeem
I ain't never give a fuck, but then I seen
High definition, the gift was forever given
But nothing was never given, I build it from ground up
I started out with my basement and builded my house up
I'm rich off of opportunity, money gon' pile up
My swagger on hunnid mill, how the stylist gon' style us?
[Verse 2]
Caught up in the light, caught up in the life
I see youngin' on the corner with a quarter of that white
He just tryna chase his dream, bless his daughter need some wipes
And some Pampers, so he don't give a fuck about the slammer
He just tryna stay alive, touchin' on his hammer
World full of problems, ain't nobody got a answer
[Verse 3]
Mommy in the grave, daddy gettin' high
Bills steady rollin' and he barely gettin' by
Same clothes every day, he barely gettin' fly
Every day he wake up, he just sweatin' through his job
What that is? Chasin' dreams
Time is tickin', so it seems
On his downtime he spittin' and he sick as floods mean
He just want his real chance, no reality show
But the gray of the jail cell reality though
Crackhouse was his crib, the streets fathered him though
And he ain't got no Twitter fans, but you could follow him though
Whoa
[Verse 4]
Dreamchaser
Keep chasin'
Grind will turn into your shine, be patient
Yeah
Hunnid miles I'm runnin'
Tryna catch up to my dreams so you know I'm Forrest Gumpin'
I'm a dreamchaser

[Verse 5]
I was raised by my mama
My pop used to beat her
Got a sister my age, my pop was a cheater
Grams kept somethin' in the pot for us to eat up
Had to open up the oven for the house to heat up
Christmas missed us, no birthdays or Easters
Used to snatch bags from Halloween trick-or-treaters
Hot dogs and beans, fish sticks on a weekend
Shared the same bed that my cousin used to pee in
Dreamed to be the Huxtables, shoutout for the Bradys
Black and white on top the floor model with no cable
My sister used to punch me, beat me, slap me
Caught my first case stealin' cookies outta Acme
Raised in south Phil, two, four where you could find me at
Used to kick the machines for quarters out the laundromat
Dirty lil' teen, goin' to school embarrassing
Gas cut off, my clothes smellin' like kerosene
This is for my
[Verse 6]
Dreamchaser
Keep chasin'
Grind will turn into your shine, be patient

Hunnid miles I'm runnin'
Tryna catch up to my dreams so you know I'm Forrest Gumpin'
I'm a dreamchaser

[Verse 7]
It all started from the basement, me, my pen, and my pad
Started thinkin' 'bout things I never had
Was broke as a joke, ain't never laugh
I woke up and went and got it and now they forever mad
How can you hate me where I came from?
When just a year ago I was the same one
Them dudes will cut your homies, be the main one
You'd be surprised what **** do soon as the fame come
[Verse 8]
But I ain't worried, discouraged, I just observe it
When my dreams started to crumble, **** deserted
Empty courtroom when the judge read my verdict
But now I'm gettin' tours, **** act like they deserve it
Sittin' in my cell, watchin' my dream
Fade like Mike, fourth quarter, tied game
Shackles on my ankle and wrist, my first chains
But now it's hard work on the menu, I thirst cream
[Verse 9]
I'm a dreamchaser
Keep chasin'
Grind will turn into your shine, be patient
Yeah
Hunnid miles I'm runnin'
Tryna catch up to my dreams so you know I'm Forrest Gumpin'
I'm a dreamchaser

[Verse 10]
You know what I mean?
I never go to sleep
'Cause I'm always up chasin' my dream
This for the youngin'
That ain't got no way out, you dig?
Youngin' at the bottom
His ma's smokin' crack 'cause papa ain't around
How you gonna judge him?
Chase your dream, youngin'
