[Intro]

Yeah, ayy, ayy, yeah

Woah, woah, woah, ayy

Yeah, look, don't mind me, I just be in my head sometimes

[Verse 1]

Time waits for no one

Down on my luck and losing it feeling like I'm 0-1

Finding these keys to keep me in tune just like the Roland

These nights get lonesome, I hit the road and start coasting

To keep from feeling blue just like the ocean

Praying these records get me these checks

Instead of me having to owe some, the game plan

I love to be on stage and having them raise hands

Fill 'em all up with soul, not feeling to empty, kicking a tin can

I always been different, saw it as soon as I altered my vision

I'm going the distance, I never did listen to all of the "If, ands"

The "How's" and "No ways," what Cole say

A dollar and a dream is all you need, can't let this hope fade

Can't lose my own faith, thats why I'm out here praying most days

Plus I do this shit right here for my mama and them

I know I'm nothing like no common agenda

I realize I'm far less common than them

The world moving and got me in a spin

Sometimes I wish it'd let me catch up again, I'm just

[Chorus]

Hoping (Hoping), dreaming (Dreaming), coping (Coping)

Thinking (Thinking), more (More, more, more) and more again

Hoping (Hoping), dreaming (Dreaming), coping (Coping)

Thinking (Thinking), more (More, more, more) and more again

[Verse 2]

Know I've been stuck with emotions I cannot hide, know I tried

Been times saying and claiming I wouldn't cry, know I lied

My eyes draining, I'm drained from fighting these demons inside

It's more to it, but music's one thing that keeps me alive

And see the others my family, and that's including the homies

I give my all, they give they all, so when we on they don't owe me

It's more I got you, you feel me, that's to the end from the start

Know we a force in this world, when we just all play our part

It's more to it when

[Bridge]

Adjusting to the life I live, we stay golden

Never thought I'd love again, switch my notion

Never had the upper hand, we ain't folding

Plan for what we up against, we stay growing

Adjusting to the life I live, we stay golden

Never thought I'd love again, switch my notion

Never had the upper hand, we ain't folding

Plan for what we up against, we stay growing

[Chorus]

Hoping (Hoping), dreaming (Dreaming), coping (Coping)

Thinking (Thinking), more (More, more, more) and more again

Hoping (Hoping), dreaming (Dreaming), coping (Coping)

Thinking (Thinking), more (More, more, more) and more again

[Outro]

Yeah, like I said, don't mind me, I just be in my head sometimes
