[Intro]

Welcome to Perception Volume 1: The Dream

This is Abstract, and I hope you enjoy

Alright, thank you, peace

[Verse 1]

Yeah, yeah

She left my heart outside

Thought that she was love

But I was told that she lied

That she laughed and I cried

That'll be the last time I let shit like that ride

I can't decide

Should I hate her, feel bad for what I came up and made her

Or was it her doing, her own choosing?

Please forgive us, Lord, for we know not what we doin'

We just some kids living adult lives

Who work seven-to-twos instead of nine-to-fives

So when we make mistakes, is it really a surprise?

Thinking at the age of eighteen the dark clouds will rise

But the real outcome is not ours to decide

Then I found rap, I'm now about that

Your kids, you wanna be around forever

You wanna be remembered

Keep it real in your music, don't let the hoes change you ever

I kept it real no matter the X's and O's

I told you, I deliver

Whether it was bars, flows, or clothes, all true though

No time for the filler

Ask anybody who knows

If they know about this mothafuckin' killer, yeah

[Chorus]

Yeah, we all got a dream

We all got a dream

Yeah, we all got a dream

Everybody's tryna turn it into somethin'

Somethin'

We've been tryna turn it

Yeah, we all got a dream

Yeah, we all got a dream

Everybody wanna be a king

Yeah, we all got a dream

Everybody wanna be a king

Yeah, we all got a dream

Be a king, yeah

Everybody's tryna turn it into somethin'

Everybody wanna be a king, yeah

Yeah, yeah (Yeah)

'Cause we all got a dream

[Verse 2]

We all got dreams but some work harder than others

I do this without a team but still, I got my brothers

Yeah, I grew up more blessed than many unfortunate others

I had them warm-ass winters and cold-ass summers

Protected from the thunder under them warm-ass covers

Fucked with and got fucked by a couple fake lovers

Was told to concentrate by all my fuckin' brothers

They said, "Son, you got a dream, don't listen to the others

They said, "Son, you got a team; you make tracks, we'll be your runners"

So I got somethin' to live to as I'm up-and-coming

When I got my drive, to most it would seem stunnin'

'Cause I learned destruction in the heart makes construction in the mind

So I took the pain and started workin' overtime

Workin' over rhymes but lettin' my heart decide

If I wasn't happy with it, then it wasn't worth it, right?

Nah, it wasn't worth it, right?

[Chorus]

Yeah, 'cause we all got a dream

Yeah, we all got a dream

And everybody's tryna turn it into something

Yeah, alright

Yeah, we all got a dream

This is the part where we ride out

And everybody wanna be a king

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the mixtape

Yeah, we all got a dream

So, yeah, alright; peace

And everybody's tryna turn it into something

Yeah, everybody's got a dream
