"[Beef]
As long as you keep dreaming, you can do whatever you want. You ain't gotta wake up.
Boy who was 13, daddy used to beat his ass
No wonder mother kissed him more than his brothers
Family went southern as he turned to the street
And he never had money, so he's slanging, holding heat
And now he's 16, robbing houses, joining GD
Begging god for some relief, screaming out please
But he'd fallen to his knees, alcoholic and depressed
Seen gangs, needles, lies, so he tried to force death
But then he woke up, realized he was alive
Before 21, attempted suicide
Been to jail more times than ever on vacation
Stood up, now it's time for fucking changes
Always had his pad and pen, must've wrote 1,000 pages
Never stopped flowing, cause they liked what he was saying
Now they play him on the radio, everybody say they know him
Climbing charts, finding family, grinding, waiting for the Grammy
[Both]
Wake up
I'm stuck in a dream
Wake up
Where everything seems to come and go my way
The world is mine today
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I ain't gotta worry about the pain no more
I don't wanna wake up
[Beef]
Started at 14, idolized his brother
Who fucked and left the girls but never used a cover
Another day, another chicken, just to be the shit
But then one sunny summer afternoon, the chicken had a chick
And the boy from the burbs never knew life was a bitch
Parents kicked him to the curb
He crashed their only car into the ditch
Said it slipped but they knew that he was lit
Cause he took to popping pills after out popped a kid
Police strapped him down in a hospital for 3 days
Nobody by his side, baby momma ran away
16, 5 jobs, just so he could pay
But he knew what to do as the tears rolled down his face
Grades straight A's, cause his aim was always school
Using knowledge as a tool to get a scholarship to college
Then he got it, and the father took impoverished to passion
And the fools who used to laugh, looking down as they pass him
[Both]
Wake up
I'm stuck in a dream
Wake up
Where everything seems to come and go my way
The world is mine today
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I ain't gotta worry about the pain no more
I don't wanna wake up
[Quincy]
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
And a dream's alright with me
So you should just let sleep all night and day
The world is mine today
I don't wanna wake up
[Beef]
Homeschooled since birth, born to be a loner
Bad like Bart but he never had a Homer
In the county jail, ma say he a goner
While his sick little sister swallow pills big as Jonah
Now he getting grown, only doing what he know
Weeding in the spring, winter moving snow plows
Crew split in half, started stealing from his own
Now it's something like a fight club in the basement of his home
Counterfeit bills in a coke transaction
Never thought he see a day both vans went packing
Knuckles to the face, 2 22's to the waste
17 died paralyzed running from his face
See, nobody is invincible, no matter what the principle
Muscle, or the hustle, struggle, church, or if you missable
Cell or a hearse, is what they wanted in the first
And unless you wake up soon
You gon lie victim of the curse too
[Both]
Wake up
I'm stuck in a dream
Wake up
Where everything seems to come and go my way
The world is mine today
I don't wanna wake up"
