[Intro: Kham]

Yeah

(Hey, Harrisxn), uh, uh

Yeah, uh

[Verse 1: CZAR Josh]

Nothing is new on the face of the planet

Planted firmly in soil, I toil on gambit

Everything is everything long as my hue match the moon

From octoroon to molasses

I raise my glass to anybody with passion

Anybody that's grindin’, tryna bargain with Heaven

Never related to Huxtable, I was more on the Evans

They on they Sam Jackson, plotting on my MF DOOM

I be like, "Click-clack, boom," career gone too soon, patna

[Verse 2: J. Crum]

Now Crum is stacking paper, bringing cadences to stages

Last year he played a stadium, amazed at where this takes him

Pray he don't forgеt the reason why the Savior madе him

He was made to praise Him, he was made to start a revolution in his basement

He won't convolute it, give you truth in all his statements

Pray if he cut loose, you see the proof my God’s amazing

Praying that same the thing that's he's chasing, the same thing that You created, huh?

[Chorus: Phil J.]

Dreams gon' stay dreams if you let em'

I could not stay down forever

I had to keep climbing

I had to keep rising

'Cause I'ma work for what I never had, never had, never had

In the end, I know I'ma have to give it back, give it back, give it back

But ’til then, I’ma work for what I never had

[Bridge]

Don't touch my art, don’t touch my money

Don't touch my art, don't touch my money

Don't touch my art, don’t touch my money

Don't touch my art, don't touch my money (Yeah, yeah, hey)

[Verse 3: Kham]

Treat the beat like target practice, this my bow and arrow

Every weapon formed against me turned to bone marrow

This for every Sunday that His eye been on the sparrow

Making of a legacy refined under God's mantel

What if I made up my mind as a youngin? That would be something

Never had much, still manage to function a thought for discussion

What if I never had made mistakes and learned from the repercussions?

What if I made it to the top and flopped, forgetting 'bout where I come from? Okay

I started rapping to keep all my brothers from trapping thus keeping 'em safe, wait

I kept on rapping to tell all my brothers they're better than minimum wage, wait

They told me I wouldn't make it rapping, I should nine-to-five and play it safe, hey

Putting my heart in to records, feel the palpitations on every page

Moving at this fast a pace, I'm catching motion sickness

Persistent with the pen, praying it gives me pension

Though my intention has and always will be ascension

Regardless if I ever get a mention, for real

[Chorus: Phil J.]

Dreams gon' stay dreams if you let em'

I could not stay down forever

I had to keep climbing

I had to keep rising

'Cause I'ma work for what I never had, never had, never had

In the end, I know I'ma have to give it back, give it back, give it back

But 'til then, I'ma work for what I never had
